These guys are relentless & rude. I got calls from 801-895-4841 from a so-called "Kevin Watson" I said, "Yeah and I bet you're sitting in New Delhi, too, aren't you?" I told them to not call here again that I knew it was a scam. They called again the next day from 206-456-0661 and asked for my husband by name. The guy had said he was Tim Johnson or some other made up name. He started to get combative with me verbally when I told him "Windows Operating System Service Center" doesn't even exist. He said, "Well, if Microsoft Windows doesn't actually exist then how do you think your computer is running? I told them to take our names off their list and NOT CALL AGAIN.
Yes I too have been contacted from a company called Microtech it was at 8pm telling me I had a serious problem with Errors and Warnings they made me turn on my computer and guided me to show where they were it freaked me a bit, but it was odd because there is nothing wrong with my computer. Lucky for me I use dial up which made it impossible for them to talk to me while I am on the internet, they said it was going to cost me $179.00 to fix it remote I straight away told then I was'nt going to pay anything and they immediately hung up in my ear. Thanks to this site I will hang up in their ear when they try to scam me again!
I received a call from them today, 5/17/13. Caller ID said "Unknown Name. Private Number." That was the first tip off. They knew our last name, and then gave me the name of the company and a "complaint number" and said his name was Johnny Bravo, with a thick Indian or Pakistani accent. Ha! He said they were somehow related to Microsoft. When I pressed him about this being a sales call, he assured me it was a service call, and he could help me with my computer problem. He kept trying to get me to go to a computer and he would "guide me through" the process, and I did not have to give him any information. And because he gave me the company name and a complaint number, assured me it was all perfectly legitimate. I kept telling him to email me the information so I could research it, and he kept insisting I go to a computer and let him walk me through something. When he refused for the seventh time to email me something, I hung up on him. I guess he will call back, though... A total high pressure scam!
