Called me on 6/12/14 also. Had an accent I could hardly understand.Said he was from Tech Support, and I had been hacked.His name was Albert.He wanted me to turn my computer on so he could help me.I figured he was a scammer, came on here to look, and found out he was.This was a cell phone number, he told me it was computer dialed.The number he called from was 646-457-4289.He gave me the 206-424-8913 so I could check him out !

A senior technician named "Richard Williams" that had a south east Asia accent contacted parents and requested that they do some stuff on their computer that involved opening command prompt and getting the CLSID for the zfsendtotarget extension by typing the assoc command (it's a harmless command).  

They were attempting to convince them that they had a problem with their computer and were giving them directions to login to a website.

My dad had already physically unplugged the cat5 cable from the wall before even booting up the computer so nothing happened. :)  He's a smart guy, my dad. :)

Middle eastern accent has called almost everyday this week.  I hung up after a sentence or two the first few times.  Today he was extremely insistent that it was urgent to take care of my computer problem.  The federal government would shut down my computer because it was infecting thousands of other computers. I got his name and number. Sam Nicholson in Delaware. He said he worked for Pegasus Data Software in Delaware.
They had been contracted by Microsoft to take care of these hacking issues.  It made me extremely nervous, but I hung up again.  Thank goodness!  Thank you for confirming that I did the right thing.

Just got a call from them too. They told me to press the windows key and the R key. I told her I was reporting the call to the Police and she started cursing at me. I hung up and will be blocking that number.

My GF's elderly mother received a call from this same 206 number, and she let him access her iMac to fix a bogus Yahoo account issue.  For some inexplicable reason she gave up credit card info, as well, to which he ran a $179.99 charge for "Pegasus software." I called the cc company to have the charge reversed and made additional calls to lock down her identity.

f*** you

this just happened

they are a good peoples they save my computer

These guys are incredible!  My Pakistani's name was Paul Richards.  They must think we're idiots!  The last time these same jokers called they said they were with Microsoft!  Do not respond to anything they ask for.

My wife has gotten a couple of calls from this number in the last few days from a 'John Smith' who has a heavy middle eastern or Indian accent. Same deal, turn your computer on so I can access it.

Guess it's time to alert the FBI

clames mi pc esta infestado y el me puede alludar a travez de mi pc . Pero yo no quise le dije que no Tania tempo,
  y me dio este numero Para que yo le devolviera la llada pero no lo credo.muchas gracias.

Received a call and the foreign sounding man told me my computer was being hacked and sending spam to their server. I asked who he worked for and he said G.M.I.I.P.   I asked for a phone number and he gave 206-424-8913. He asked if I was at my computer and I said yes then asked him what company that was and he hung up.  I "googled" the number and found this site.

This phone number is in a newspaper story of the Mohave Valley Daily News ( Dated March 6th 2014 ) page 1 . It is a scam.

they are a genuine company, they fixed my computer, made it run very faster.
please do not listen to nonsense

I got the same call. Been calling for a couple weeks and been hanging up on him. finally talked to him and he gave me that same story and wanted me to give him access to my computer. Can't be from Microsoft as they have the correct infro. I got his number and goggled it.

got the same call today, with the same insistence!  was very upset when I told them that for all I knew they could be the hacker!!!  Asked why we didn't get formal notification of this issue and was told that the hackers would see any emails sent to the computer.  OMG, really?  What ever happened to mail?  I googled the phone # and found these posts, so I won't be calling back.  

Listen to the alarms bells that begin to go off and follow your instincts!  Windows isn't going to call folks, especially from blocked #'s.

MARK WILSON called me up and said i am facing some problem and he waned to fix it for me now i am very happy..

I ALSO GOT A CALL FROM THIS NO AND I THINK ITS A LEGITIMATE I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICES WHICH IS PROVIDED BY THEM.......THANKS TEAM.

u r a bi***..

first go learn English

u r confused within yorself

This is a legitimate number i had a call from them and they helped me to fix my computer and now i am very happy

Same happened to me today, Justin Paul (ID 1235568) from Microsoft wanted to help fix my computer and I am being hacked all the time.  Showed me over 5000 cases since Nov 2012.  He wanted me to leave him with access to my pc for 3 hours and to buy anti hacking tool for $299.95 and was quite insistent.  His pakistan accent, spelling mistakes on the page he was showing me and tone rang alarm bells so I told him I'd think about it.  Do not speak with them or given them access to anything - GITS!

Got a call from this number, said he was from 'Windows Help' (I remember the background soundtrack from being called by 'Microsoft Corportation' scam, they must think we're stupid)  wasn't the person he was trying to scam so he kept repeatedly asking me my name and relationship to that person 'before he could leave a number and message', I finally got him to just give me the number. And here it is on a list of scam reports, imagine that?

Called himself Sam through a heavy 'Indian Accent', and was humming when I picked up, I think that was my first clue.

Same deal,  call from "Mark Wilson" with heavy Indian accent  from 206 424-8913. Alleged our computer was hacked, wanted to do fix. tried to get us to turn over control of the computer to him remotely.   This is a scam. Beware. After credit card numbers, back accounts, etc.

Got call from "Mark Wilson" saying he was from MS Support and that our computer is compromised. He needed us to login and allow him to log in so he could fix it.  Told him we didn't think so, no more calls since that one earlier this week.

My wife got the call, "twice" and they indicated it was a "Windows security issue" and said it was "URGENT" and she would "lose everything!"...the guy went my "Eric" but I am guessing his name was Mohammed, and he was not from MSFT.  I insisted he tell me the name of the company he was with, and after I refused to believe "Windows tech support" he told me the name of the company was "Technical Support"  I asked him again and when he confirmed, I laughed out loud at his dumb a** and asked him to send me an email indicating his company & the purpose of his call (can you believe I am still waiting?!).  What a fckn' joke, they are the worst I have ever seen, DO NOT RESPOND to ANY of their requests for data...this is an international "tie line" to India/Pakistan/Asia via Seattle....no connection to MSFT, USA or your operating system...complete BS!

Just got a call from this number today.
206-424-8913
Claimed to be from Microsoft Windows.
The person said his name is Mark Wilson.
He wanted me to go to my computer.
i told him i was busy, to give me a number
that i could call him back later.
i called the local police to report this Scam.
Beware! This is a Hacker!

Exact same experience.  I asked for # do I could call back. I told him,"Alex Decista" that I would ask my tech at office to handle for me.    I hung up & googled the #.  Never following directions if Ididnit initiate the call.
