They have called numerous time over the last month, Realizing immediately it was a scam & asked them to stop calling doesn't help. Now they have changed to blocked calls (I have an elderly aunt who uses a blocked id). When I asked this last time what do I have to do to stop your calls, he said "pay me $180. into our paypal account". I said are you freaking kidding me, you must be some special kind of stupid.

For the past 2 weeks, I've gotten call after call after call from this number at all hours of the day. Caller ID says the call is coming from Twin City, MN. A guy with a very thick accent (Indian, Pakistan perhaps) with a lot of background noise. He says he's calling from "Windows Technical Support" and that he's received inumerous emergency messages from my computer that need attention. Emergency messages from my computer? Now, how is that possible? If I let the machine pick it up, no message is left. Clearly fraud! Clearly illegal! He won't stop calling!!

This morning at 1:42 am I received a call from 651-698-4075 saying they were from Windows. I've received many calls like this from various numbers. They want you to log on to your computer. I have refused each time and told them not to call back. But I continue to get calls.

Since these calls are coming from Minnesota, you can contact the Minnesota State Attorney General's office:
http://www.ag.state.mn.us/Consumer/Complaint.asp
You can download their form, fill it out in 2 minutes and fax or mail it in.
If you are on the Do Not Call list, you've told them so and they keep calling: https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx
You can also contact your local FBI re this telemarketing fraud.

We got 2 calls last night from Twin Cities 651-698-4075. The first one was just before midnight and the second one was 2:09 AM. It was a man with what sounded like a fake Indian accent saying he was with Microsoft and he was calling about our computers at home. I hung up on him before I found out exactly what he wanted.

This place has called several times telling m that I have a problem with error messages on my computer. They tell me to turn my computer on and they can fix the problems. When I tell them I'm not interested they keep talking over me in a strange accent that I can barely understand. Hanging up doesn't seem to help, because they keep calling. They clain to be from Windows, bt Windows doesn't know anything abut them.

My phone shows they are in/from Twin Cities, Minnesota. Upon more investigating, they are based out of MN, I don't recall the names of the cities but they are in a couple spots. I CB (called back) the # that posted on my phone (651.698.4075) using my Google phone #, it just rang & rang. I blocked the # on my house phone: Love the air horn idea...going to get mine ready as well in case they CB using a diff #.
 I saw in another post the question of who to call to report/turn them in? I myself would like to know as well. So, if anyone out there happens to see this & knows the answer, PLEASE advise. I'd love to see these suckers shot down or get their balls nailed to the wall!
 One other thing, I was told at one time that Microsoft/Windows does not, will not, nor will they EVER contact 'consumers' to inform them they may have downloaded a 'threat' & ask for CC, IP address, or any other info to 'remove' it. Reason being; software support is far & few between with warranties/service plans & software suppliers. If SW (software) support was offered & purchased at the time of purchasing a pc, it would cost an arm & a leg.
 In fact, if there is a threat on a pc, & you call Microsoft or the warranty people covering the unit, 99% of the time you'll be told that software isn't covered & a system recovery (wipe off all data from the C: drive & reload the OS-as if the unit was new out of box) is the only option available. I worked at a call center & that's exactly what I was trained to do, anything software I was to tell the CM (customer) it wasn't covered, back up all important data & start a system recovery. I realize this is a bit more info than you bargained for but, I hope that it will help!

I have been getting these calls for months and have given them hang-ups, called them scammers, told them I'm recording this call and to stop herrassing me. Today I told them to F-off and they called back 5 times, I didn't pick up so they left me a voicemail calling me a "B" and how he was going to come over tonight and "F" me and cut me!!!!! and a bunch of other vulgar things. Was told by phone company to make out police report and have police hear the voicemail, so that's what I'm going to do! We'll see if this helps.

I spoke to them twice within a week and when I told them I had no idea what they where talking about I got told to F*** off.

Stop these calls from coming in

I'm pretty sure my call was from a Filipina woman. I don't have a computer running Windows, so I knew it was a scam. I didn't answer at first, but they kept calling during dinner so I picked up and then hung up.

keep asking them for some one who speaks English ,makes them nuts,they start sweating at you.

get calls from them all the time.  dont answer as I dont know who they are, Very annoying

WTG Sandy, we need more people like you and I that use "colorful" language on this type of scum.

They just called me at 1 in the morning.  I told him not to call me, and he told me was was obligated to call customers to protect ten.  When I asked to speak to a supervisor, he hung up on me.

The last time I told them I had a Mac, they apologized and hung up.  I'm sorry it didn't work for you that time but I'd try it again.  .

This number called me at 10pm!!  We were all asleep.  I normally don't answer but at that time of night I wasn't sure what to think.  (No I don't pay and won't pay for caller ID.  Normally I let the answering machine get it).  There was a "ring back" when I answered the phone and the male with the Indian accent called me the wrong name.  I told them how I felt about them calling me at 10pm and to not call me again.  

If you have been answering the calls from these Indian computer scammers--DON'T-- also, simply block this number.

These people call me at 7:00am on Saturday and at 9:30pm on Sunday night.  They call during the week sometimes 3 times a day or more.  I wish I knew how to get them to Stop.............they are driving me crazy!!!

DO NOT CALL ME-REMOVE ME FROM YOUR CALL LIST!!! I DO NOT WANT YOU CALLING ME AT 8AM IN THE MORNING OR ANY OTHER TIME!!!!

We have been besieged with calls from California, New Jersey, and this number from the Twin Cities over the last two days. Last night they called at 11:30 p.m., 1:15 a.m., 4:30 a.m., and 5:15 a.m. waking me at every call. Century Link won't let me block the area code from which they are calling. I started with rude insults and the last call I received I tried a different tack and told them I don't have a Windows computer I have Android and IOS. He argued with me insisting that I had a Windows computer and read to me my name, street address, and phone number and said that I do have Windows and hackers are stealing my information. This rampant harassment has got to stop. This will be the final straw forcing us to give up our land line and go with just cell phones that we can turn off at night. I can't believe that there is not a way for the phone company to restrict these calls to my phone!

I'm wondering if any of these calls are associated with Facebook. Anybody else think this is possible for these stupid callers. Just wondering. I've got this # blocked and they are still calling. These foreigners are idiots in my opinion. Doesn't say much for Microsoft letting them get away with this. I'm sure it's fraud!

Stupid scammers. But I have forgiven them and moving on. Let that be my parting gift.

got a call from them tonight.....i flailed my colorful vocabulary at them & told them to kiss my badass honey badger a**....but interestingly enough, they claimed to be from US national security & threatened me with cops at my door if i didnt do what they instructed immediately.  

Call hang up at 715 pm PDT.  Obviously they have changed their scam phone number again.  

Same story as others that have posted about this number - Someone from India (OK, maybe I am being a racist)...  Claimed that my computer has a virus and is causing problems on the internet.  I asked what system I was running and he said "Windows 7 32 bit".  As it works out, I am not :-) When I said I didn't have Win 7 32 bit he hung up.

Is there room in Gitmo for these scammers?

They keep calling  and when you call the number back it says disconnected or assigned to a different area code     SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

OK, Rasheed (aka Brandon King). I believe you. Just give me a call at 763-555-1122. I need your expertise with my pc. I have my cc all ready to give my payment. Wow! What a bargain! Only 5.99 USD?  I am anxiously awaiting your call.

These guys are getting persistent about 5 or 6 calls this week.  Going to recharge the airhorn tomorrow and give them a blast of tht, see if it blows a bit of space between their ears.  Does anyone actually know where they are? and a callback number would be good, then we can scam them back.

They have called me 4 times in the last 3 weeks here in New Zealand,I just lead them on.
