I too like to play with them, the longer you keep them on the line the less time they have to scam other folks. To other poster, there is nothing that your government is going to do about these callers. Get caller I.D. don't answer unknown numbers, and play with them if you should pick up by mistake.

Scammers.  Trying the same old "your computer is infected with a virus" nonsense.  I played with him for about ten minutes and then informed him that my computer is a MAC.  Asked him the name of the company he works for and how to get hold of it.  He hung up.  That is my mission.  Take all their time and make them hang up on me.  That will be the true fix for these low lives.

a male voice saying they have detected problems and a virus on my computer in window program. I told them I don't have a computer and he hung up so quick. I phoned back and it stated the line was not in service.

Yes,

Just had a call in Canada, same thing. Scam.  They try to access your computer. They are NOT located in the US as they would like you to believe (by the fake caller ID).  They (or other similar scams) have tried to call 3 other times (different numbers, same scam).  

Same here.  live in Canada.

Called on my cell number which is unlisted by 630-582-0473. They knew my name and spoke broken english i said "garble garble" and hung up. No call backs since.

Grrrr....Received a call in the middle of the night 1:14 am regarding pc.  Advised her of the time and asked not to be called again (like that would make a difference)  She said "wrong number" and hung up.  I am so tired of these types of calls.

Hey dude......THE NSA HAS YOUR NUMBER. They ought to treat these scammers like domestic (or perhaps international) terrorists.

Just got a call from this number, couldn't understand the guy..I hung up and they called right back. Tried to get me to type some code into my computer and I asked him for a number that I could call him back at..he gave me 209-845-7707..I told him that I would look up Mictosofts CS line and they could help if there was truey a problem. I told him not to call my number back or I would contact the authorities...this is totally a scam..

Got a call from this number...Indian person was talking and I could not understand them at all. Told the no one was here my the name they ask for ....for she past away a year ago. He said this is the right number and bla boa that Infouod not understand. These people need to speak appropriate English .

I got a call from 630-582-0473 around 4pm on 27/10/2012. They called to tell me that my computer was sending them some sort of message about being hacked. When I told them I was house sitting and that the house had no computers in it, "John" accused me of lying. I get really annoyed and told him off on the phone and hung up. When I attempted to call the number back to ask for a supervisor, the automated message that picked up told me that the number was no longer in service or had been disconnected. I have had the same number call my own household (funnily enough, both times when my computer was on the fritz and not working!!) to tell me that my computer was sending them the same message. Both times, they accused me of lying.

Seem this is from local scam artist...calls from India call center had been stop.
Look like they got the voters-list..it's illegal to obtain such document, not to say to use it for other purposes.

"Do not call list" doesn't work since i have been on there for 5 years and still get this kind of crap on my landline.

The same guy from India with a think accent calls telling me that he is calling on behalf of Microsoft Office and says there are some Trojans and Virusus on my computer and I need to switch my computer on. He will fix it "right before my eyes". What a load of crap! I keep telling him it is a scam and that he should not call me again but to no avail. Give'em hell!

He also calls from:

607-231-8335
607-529-9906
630-653-9660

yup this one guy keeps calling me and saying the same BS. I keep telling him to stop calling but he wont give up. Totally BS! Wanted me to switch my computer on and he would do some stuff "Right before my eyes" Can't even speak proper English.

same caller from:

607-231-8335

I got the same stupid call today.  Do they think that we are idiots to fall for that bs?

Apparently they were calling about my computer.  They had been getting 'messages' from my computer.  They had the wrong name associated with my telephone #,  I hung up then as it sounded so bogus.

Got seven calls today from this number and 6 others all saying I had window problems. A word of advise.....Try to keep no important info on your computer like Bank info, SS numbers, tax forms, ect, ect. If you do need to keep info on the computer I would suggest using Cypherix LE and store the info in that, its free and does offer some protection, I also use SD memory cards for my important storage of tax forms and important papers, it can be unpluged from the computer and stored in a safe place. Most poeple know this but a couple here seems to have had a close call, its almost at a point you can't trust your friends leave alone your enemies. Be very careful what you download, you may get more software than you expect and not know it till it is to late. Just trying to help and warn people, a computer can be an open book online.

got the call today, tried to call it back, number disconnected.. idiots

Nobody on the line...at 8.30 Pm. I am pretty sure it is linked to another similar call I got 2 days ago,. Different number, same thing. Who would do that and why?!!

Noise then male voice saying they have detected problems and a virus on my computer, He asks me if I'm aware of this problem. I said I didn't have a problem and hung up. Have had several similar calls claiming they have detected stuff on my computer.
