Just got a call from this number. A man with an Indian accent claimed he lived down the street from me and that my daughter went in his property and kicked his dog. When I said no, he repeated the dog kicking story and said the dog needed an operation. I told him he either had the wrong number or was scamming. He the screamed "shut up" at me 3 times. I hung up then. Strangest phone scam ever.

I just received a call from this number saying she was with Microsoft and that I had a virus. She told me that I needed to go to a site she was going to give to get rid of it but while she was talking I googled the number and found out she was calling me from a pay phone. I asked her to tell me why she was calling from a pay phone and if she didn't I would call the police. She hung up. This is obviously a scam, looking for my personal information.

Got a call from this # and the same thing... about the computer not working and that I had a really bad virus that he had too get rid of for me.  Told him to loose my #.

Minutes before got a call from a girl from # 631-581-9211.... same scam

Just received a call from this number on my cell phone. I live in Australia. Caller said he was from Silver Energy Solutions. When I asked again what his company was called, he told me it was Green Solar Solutions and he wanted to make arrangements for a local representative to come to my home to check our energy. I questioned as to why he was calling from Denver, Colorado when I didn't live in US. He mumbled some reply that I didn't quite catch so I told him I wasn't interested and hung up. These people are every annoying.

Well here it is April 9, 2014 and now i'm getting this call from a Pay Phone.  It said pay phone right on my phone so since I knew I could do nothing for someone who is in another state at a pay phone I sure as heck wasn't going to pick it up.  Interesting that it is Boulder, I really known NO One in Colorado.

I got a call from 303-442-9290. The guy on the line said that my computer received an error message. I told them I don't have a computer. He seemed surprised. Ha Ha. I know a technical company would not be calling from a pay phone. Another person out to get your money.

Received a call from this number on my cell phone.  Man with an asian accent said he was calling to help me fix my computer problems.  I told him he had the wrong number and he insisted that he was calling because of my computer.  I said again, that he had the wrong number and then he hung up.

This number phoned today  , andi don't know why

Go Mike    I liked your post.

I am In Canada . Would not ever use Microsoft because of these scam calls .If the Us Govt. is like "George Orwell" perhaps they can deal with scams like this ... use them to clear mine fields , or scrape ship hulls of crusty stuff.In future I will hang up or put them on hold for a while.

I received the same call as the other posts except mine was from a woman who spoke broken English & wanted access to my computer for virus problems.  I told her that I would have my son, who happens to be a Computer Programmer & IT Specialist, look into it & she immediately hung up.  Watch out everyone, this is a dangerous scam!  My phone listed the call from a phone booth which alerted me from the start.

IT Person:

PLEASE TRACE AND REPORT THEM TO THE US POLICE NOW.  I HAVE LEFT A COMMENT FURTHER ON TODAY 15 JAN FROM THE UK AS THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS FRAUDSTERS.

Was called on mobile number last week, it is a number I do not give out online.  The caller's number in the UK was +1-303-442-9290.  The US  +1-  code appeared in front of the USA number.  They knew my name, I asked who was calling and they replied Canadian Pharmacy, I hung up.  They are known to be huge scammers/fraudsters so be very wary.  Canadian Pharmacy use many numbers but to also assume the ID of Microsoft that is a true SCAM to get hold of your computer remotely and steel everything about you including your passwords, PIN numbers and all your ID so they could do anything using your name and ID including crime.   Report them to the US Police - get them off the web and all Phone networks, they are very well known to be serious criminals.  Very concerning when they know your name as we recently had fraud, and found a virus on our PC.  Now getting Canadian Pharmacy Spam emails so it has to be these people.  Now continually blocking their numerous email domains.  Do they also hack PCs and phones ?   We will never know unless they are caught so if someone in the US can report them to the US Police do so now before someone loses everything.  Very dangerous fraudsters.

They never leave a message just keep calling

I just got a call from this number at my home phone in ICELAND so they are evrywhere, he said somthing about my computer ,I just said Ha ,means what in Icelandic and pretendet not to understand and he hung up ,and I googled the number and I am here.

Just got another call from this number.  ID says "Pay Phone" so obviously a scam.  Why doesn't someone shut them down?

WHO ARE YOU ANY WAY AND WHAT DID YOU WANT THAT I AM DEAF PERSON  AND DEAF MUTE TOO AND WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME FORTEEN TIMES ON MY PHONE AND PLEASE STOP CALLING ME BECAUSE I CALL THE POLICE AND THEY CAME TO MY APT AND LOOK ON MY SCREEN ON MY TV AND LOOK AT YOUR NUMBER THAT HE SAID TO ME OH MY GOD FOURTEEN TIMES  WOW THAT A LOT OF PHONE NUMBER OF 303 442 9290 ON MY TV  AND PLEASE STOP CALLING THAT I AM DEAF PERSON AND DEAF MUTE THAT YOU HAVE TO STOP CALL                      THANK YOU DEAF PERSON

I answer the phone and could not understand what the guy was trying to get across by saying that my computer don't work and that I have to give him personal information.  I kept replying that I don't understand his accent.  He could not introduced himself so I hang up the phone because it was a scam.

I receive calls almost everyday from 303-442--9290, i do not know who this number belongs to, all i get from Dex Knows is that it is a land line somewhere in Colorado, I have called this number back and i get a message that this number is dis connected, the best thing i can do is BLOCK This Darn Pesky Number

I received a phone call from the same number and it said it was from a pay phone.  Not knowing where that area code was I answered the call but no one answered me.   I may just keep an air horn handy and let them have it and maybe all the other telemarketers too!  :)

A gentleman just called and informed me that he was just going over my medical records and that I might have been on a type of birth control that caused side affects.  I couldn't understand what he was saying because of his heavy accent.  I hung up.

I wasn't going to pick up this call coming from a "Pay Phone" in area code 303 -
since I didn't  know anyone from that area.
However, my 3 year old picked it up.
So I enjoyed the moment of listening to this scammer attempt to convince my toddler into giving the phone to his parents without success.
After a few minutes babble coming from both ends of the line -
I took the phone and hung up without a word.

I just find a missed call from that number. I live in Peru and really hope this will not become some frecuent cause I have enough with local scammers!!!

received a few minutes ago.. telling me that I would be getting a refund from onestopsolutions who scammed me but first they needed to verify that I was the person and computer that received this NO service and they would be refunding my $200. i don't know what to do. i'd really like to see if i get the money back or scam me for something else.    I asked why if they knew all they did about me and the transaction why wouldn't you send a check and eliminate getting into my system. Or email me and have me call you for the refund,  not get into my system and mess around with my stuff.

They just called, the guy sounded Indian but called from a pay phone in Co. looking for someone with a different name, beware.

Just got this call in the middle of a college day in the UK. Isn't there anyway we can report them? Starting to get very annoyed with these spam calls I constantly get everyday.

oh no, not another scam call, i am 80 and don't appreciate these time wasters.shropshire lass

Got a call from this number numerous times, this time I picked the phone up, bad line...Indian bloke on the other end, knew my name and wanted to tell me something about the iphone5, told him to bugger off, he kept talking, I hung up, unfortunately my phone can`t block numbers and neither can my mobile phone provider, maybe a good time to change my number.
