call from "Wes Hardin" at 706-541-2987. When I answered there was silence but the line was open. So I yelled "hello" and got an electronic raspberry.

These calls will not stop until the telecommunications industry takes measures to prevent 'spoofing' caller ID information.  

In this case the caller intends to talk you into downloading malware onto your PC, in other cases they try and scam your credit card.  

The caller is using an internet phone and software to mask the fact that they are calling from a boilerroom in India.  

The person making the call is generally trying to improve their English speaking skills with the goal of, you guessed it, going to work for a legitimate Indian company and taking a job that results from US companies off-shoring US jobs.  

We get screwed every step of the way!

same deal

Very annoyed with calls from this numb  - 706-541-2987, sometimes no caller ID, but sometimes the ID reads Wes Hardin. How do you  make this STOP???????

Received the third call in the last week from these scumbags. Comes across caller ID as "Wes Hardin". I answered with "Hello" and a male with a thick Indian accent told me he was from "Windows Technical Security Department". I told him "Shut up and stop calling with these scams" to which he replied "You shut up". I hung up laughing. Previously, callers from the same number had identified themselves as calling from "Windows Computer".

Indian computer support scam.

Just got a call from this number.  I answered as the ID said "Hardin Wes", and after a few seconds a recorded voice said, "Goodbye".  I got a call the other day from a different number about fixing my computer as it was causing problems with the Internet.  After listening to the Asian sounding person for a few minutes, I asked him, "And what do you expect me to do about it?", before hanging up on him.  

Wants to fix my Windows, mmmm hmmmmm.  No thanks.      

Hardin Wes called us as well.

"Maria" just called me, telling me she was from Windows Computer.  I said "You're running a scam!" She said "Oh no sir, it's not a scam.  You have a problem with your computer.  It keeps sending error messages online." I told her I didn't use Windows Computer.  She asked what kind of computer I had.  I told her I had a Sinclair.  She had no idea what I was talking about.  I told her to get a better job because she wasn't good at scamming people, then I hung up.  Pathetic, but just the sort of thing that would entrap older folks.  Terrible.  NB: John Wesley Harding is the name of an old. Bob Dylan song; caller came up on caller ID as Wes Hardin, so it looked fake before I even answered.  I kind of hope they call again so I can ask them what my keyboard is supposed to look like of if they have nanotech.

Caller ID said Wes Hardin. Didn't answer and no message. Glad I didn't.

This call came up as Wes Harding and is the second time in 2 days they've called.. I said Hello which obviously triggered the pickup at the other end, It was an Indian Male voice, I didn't let him continue after he asked for my brother who doesn't live here and never has... I'm so tired of this crap..

Some chucklehead called me from this number tonight.  I said hello 3 times and there was no response.  Then there was an automated voice saying "Goodbye" and the call disconnected.  Came up as "Wes Hardin" on caller ID.  Yeah, right, sounds like one of these fake "English" names they use when you call the help desk.  Too bad he didn't say anything when I answered.  I wanted to ask him why he calls himself a "We* Hard*n".

These people have been calling our home for weeks.  Today the lady tried to speak wtih my husband for 10 min.  Then later called back to harrass him.  She told him to come see her and she would kill him.  I have asked her not to call again.  Yikes!
Caller ID is Wes Hardin 706-541-2987

Has been calling our house for months, same story, Microsoft stuff. They've gone as far to say "we know where you live." They've threatened my whole family with sexual assault. Not sure if I should be flattered or afraid with that(?). Try asking them for supervisor, it's hilarious when someone gets on the phone and says "I SUPERVISOR"

Same thing happened to me. There has to be a way to track these people down and shut them down.

received call sounded like Indian accent said he was from MICROSOFT wated to fix my computer -- when I questioned him he hung up

Wes Hardin called.  Stated my computer was sending bad files and he coudl help me.  I told him I needed to turn on my computer and it has been taking over 10 minutes to boot....and he said thats because its infected.  I told him to hold on while it boots up and set the phone down.  And I never came back!  

Comes up as Hardin Wes on Caller I.D. almost every day (706-541-2987.)  Talked to an Asian-sounding woman named "Maria" who told me she was calling from Technical Division of Windows Operating Systems and there were critical errors on our computer that they were going to fix.  I asked her if she was looking for a credit card number to help pay for that and she got confused.  I kept asking her questions (her English was poor) and confused her to the point where she was very frustrated.  When I asked her for a reference number, she read my phone number back to me.  I asked her for a contact phone number and she gave me this: 859-212-0707.  I told them to never call me again in not-so-nice words.  
 

Came up as Wes Hardin on caller ID. Thick middle-eastern accent. Claimed my computer was reporting bad files or something like that. I work in IT. Told him I knew this was a scam and to remove my phone number, and he said 'who told you it's a scam?' and I hung up on him and blocked the number.

Called to tell me they were from Windows support and that I had a problem with my computer.  I told them the call was being recorded and he laughed and said it was ok to record the call any time.  I asked what my problem was and he was confused.  Wanted to know what the problem was.  i told him he was the one that called and said I had a problem so what was the problem.  I finally got him so confused he couldn't remember the problem.  I told him if he couldn't remember what the problem was, how could he help me.  I just kept asking him questions until he got tired of listening to me and finally hung up.  I get these stupid calls all the time and decided I was going to play along this time to see what they did.  Just confuse them and they probably won't call any more. Scammers are out there everywhere.

Who owns the number?

"Wes Hardin" just called to tell me he just got an alert on my computer.  I asked him what my IP address was and he gave me an address in Florida.  I said "No, not a street address, my IP address; on my computer.:" He was confused about what I wanted. #1-I don't live in Florida; #2-If you were truly from a legit company, you'd know what an IP address was and you'd know mine; #3-You wouldn't sound like you're calling from a bar.  I say keep them on the line, confuse them, wrack up the phone bill!

After this number calls u get calls from John Kendall 347-753-9068 with same scam

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!

The number wants ur info to get ur money n s***. they call saying my web browser crashed i asked wat browser they said opera 1 i was like yeah thnx but i dont have tht browser.

Exact same thing happened to me. "Windows Computer" Having had to wait for legitimate tech support, am I supposed to believe that "Windows" is calling me? She even asked me what browser I was using. I told her I would call her back and asked her for her phone number, and she told me it was 859-212-0717 and her name was "Amy."

Same.  Female Indian says she is from "Windows Computer."And they have a problem with my system... Fraud. Microsoft can't possibly teach me even if they did find a glitch on my computer. There is no registration to track.  Total b***s***.

Male caller said something about fixing computer.  I said my computer was okay.  Thanked him for calling but not to call again.

Caller ID said  "Wes Hardin"  . - they didn't let it ring long enough to have machine answer.
