The only persons who should be touching your computer is you, your manufacturer, Real Windows support that you have called and/or maybe a real live tech you see face to face!

I've been called 3 times in the last two hours by this number (585-637-0915), 718-783-8996, and 607-733-1419.  1st call discussed my computer being infected and that he was from Microsoft.  Kept saying "Hold on please" -- after 5 minutes of that, I hung up.  Then he calls back and asked "Why I hang up?"

Had the same thing this morning at 5am...what the ...? Had I had the sense of mind, I would have ripped the guy. Oh well.

They're at it again. I didn't answer the phone because I didn't think the number looked legit.

Guy just called from this number, said he was from IUB (the college?) and that he had repaired my computer a few months back.  I was having difficulty even understanding that much (very thick Indian accent) and he hung up thereafter.  He never got to a point where he asked about my code, but it still seemed very shady.   He had my name and old address, which is a bit disconcerting.

Microsoft Windows scam.

yes recieved a call from (585)637-0915 at 2am in the morning no message was left woke us up,no one ever calls my home at no 2 in the morning grrr

I just got a call from here. Phone was not clear at all. Could Not understand anything that was said.

Got a call from this number this afternoon about 3:30 CT. Caller spoke with a thick Middle Eastern accent. Claimed he was calling from Microsoft and was following up on error reports my computer was sending to them. I played along for about 15 minutes while he had me looking at error logs (they had nothing substantial in them), then tried to convince me he was legit by wanting to confirm my software license code. He had me run a command that listed a bunch of text, then read off a "code" that proved he was getting messages from my machine (what he really read was a code that ALL Windows machines have). Finally, he asked me to access a website where one of his "technicians" could log into my PC remotely and help me fix the problem. I'd had about enough by then, gave him an earful about how the site had nothing to do with Microsoft, I wasn't convinced he was with MS and that I wasn't interested in remote support. He got defensive and tried to reassure me it wasn't a scam and that all their conversations are recorded. Really? Gee, he never mentioned recordings at the beginning of the call (as it's required by law). He then offered to end the call, but I beat him to it.

STOP THE CALLS to 3341 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Received a call from this number this morning around 0800---no one on the other end of the phone---  I did a search on the area code and it says it is from the Rochester  New York area

Got a call today from a man with an East Indian accent who said his name was "Brad Johnson".  Too funny.  Started talking about Windows and I told him I was on the "do not call list" and he said "so what?".  Then I told him off--too funny because I'm not even a Windows user.  Next time I will have an "ear piercing" response.

LOL. I'm from Spain and I received a call from this number... And 5167469347

I've got a call from this number claiming they are from Windows Technician department. They called saying that there have been a report on their end that a virus have disrupted the Windows security software. They claim they are trying to help me by guiding me through steps to confirm the valid license security software is no longer running. They also made me open up Event Viewer "prove" it to me. The purpose of their call was to help resolve the issue of the virus was to renew my security software through their end; rather than through Microsoft. They claim a 2 year renewal charge would be $235 and lifetime renewal would be $480. Obviously, I knew this was a scam because Microsoft would never call you. They were very persistent but it was pretty obvious how the call sounded like the woman on the phone was talking and some guy grabbed the phone from her. As soon as they mentioned a renewal fee, it's pretty obvious they're a scam. Why can't you renew your security license through Microsoft? The whole entire call sounded very urgent and it sounded like they were pressuring me to buy it right on the spot. I told them that I feel like they are forcing me to make a decision right away and after the woman on the phone defended herself stating that she haven't asked for any of my information or used remote service for me to accuse her of forcing me, the call got cut off. Be aware of this number (585-637-0915). They also have an Indian accent. If anyone call you with a similar story, ask as many questions as possible, don't follow their instructions to do anything on your computer. Ask for a call back number and their name.

Alex, from India, calling from computer support (yeah right). Tried something new. Told him I don't have a computer because they are evil, full of pornography, scams. He said, he never knew that, then I really threw him a curve ball and ended with conversation with "As-Salam Alaikum".

they called me this morning ( 07-26-2012 ) very early, i said hello twice and then he said hello,lots of noise in the background just like he was driving a car and had an Indian accenr, anyway i hung up.....

Moi aussi il me dise que mon ordinateur est infecté mais je leur ai racroché la ligne mais il ont surement des listes car il me parlait comme si il me connaissait et il avait mon nom....

Did not answer the call.. knew what they were calling about.. got one from 1-971-208-9939 june 19

just call voice was not clear

saying that my computer is about to crash also wanted my bank card number or if a member of my family had and the number of their card

I humoured myself by listening.  Here's what he said, Calling about windows computer.blah blah blah malware blah blah blah problems blah blah blah blah blah we can fix blah blah, is your computer open? Close all applications.  i told him I would just get Norton if I wanted anti virus.

Fake 'business/office' noise in background.  Indian accent.

i answer the phone and they say they are calling about my computer "windows" not microsoft .. 1st mistake they can make then they try to get me to download a software.. woow i told them to call back later because i was un aware of what they were trying to do, when they call back it will be fun , 2 can play at this game haha!

Scammer trying to convince me that he was from "Windows" (not from "Microsoft"), and he claimed that there is a computer-virus on my computer.  To "prove" it, he got me to open the Windows "Event Viewer", and scrolled-through errors.  He said that he could "fix" it, if I downloaded some software, ran it, and then entered a 4-digit code to connect to his computer.  WHOA!  Such "Remote Administration" software would allow him to take _FULL_ control of my computer, i.e., delete files, copy any personal information (bank statements, credit-card numbers, tax-returns) onto his system.

Scammer!

Received a phone call at 6:34am on Monday morning. Argh, how annoying is that. I did not answer it cuz it said Not Available on my caller id. I'm glad I didn't.

I tried calling this number  back immediately after a missed call, message is this number has  been  disconnected  or no longer is in service.  How can they make calls if the number has been disconnected o is no longer in service?  I have been receiving two or three calls a day.

I just received 4 calls in a row from 4 different numbers on this same subject. If windows on my computer was screwed up I wouldn't need some one to tell me about it.
