Indian man claims he's from Microsoft and calling regarding home computer.  This guy is rude and stalks you at all hours.  I asked him numerous times to stop calling.  He told me he will call our house everyday all day.  Loser.  I blocked his # and now he's calling from another random #

called and hung on the phone and then said good by

they call and stay on the line a then it says good by

I've been getting these calls for a couple months now, 2 in the last 2 days, after repeatedly telling this jerk to not call me back to no avail, I decided to go to my service provider and add this number to my selective call list. (Most major carriers have this, if you're getting plagued by these calls you may want to look into its existence) I'm wondering if they aren't getting the number from internet website information, I've got a couple virtually unknown websites I own (so I don't pay for domain privacy) and I'm wondering if they are getting it from that. Anyone else getting called by them have a website?

This phone no was on my caller ID for the past few days. I called it and the message said not in service. I did not speak to anyone.

OMG THIS HAPPENED TO ME LIKE 20 MINUTES AGO I TOLD HIM MY AGE AND HE TOLD ME I SOUNDED SEXY OUR CONVO WAS LIKE 2 MINUTES AND I KEPT SAYING DONT CALL AND HE KEPT REPEATING HIMSELF IF HE CALLS BACK IM GONNA TELL HIM THAT TOO

A man with an Indian accent claimed to be with Windows and he was calling from the "technology department" to fix my PC.  I told him I didn't have a PC.  He said, "You don't have a laptop?"  I said no, then asked him how he got my number.  The call immediately disconnected.

Oh, Come on Amouse! Going political.
I?ve had a great deal of respect for what you?ve posted over some time, so wont go there.
I?ve gone political here and there. So be it,  I?d rather bust some bad people than argue that.

---> "I will be filing a report with the FTC." <---

Not anytime soon, you won't.  The tea baggers have shut them down.  You can't even queue up a report for later investigation, nor can your state or local government access their databases.  Try for yourself:

And don't look for this to be on the tea baggers' list of things to restore quickly.  It doesn't provide a good photo op for them.

These a***oles have been calling my house at least twice a day every day this week. They claim to be with Microsoft. I've told them to stop calling me more than once, and they're calling increasingly late in the evening now. I will be filing a report with the FTC.

I have been getting calls for the past few days from this number and another number which is also a scam. I picked it up the first time and it said "New York" and then then it was dead, the second time the phone rang, I did not pick it up and just looked up the number here. I hope this does not continue. Is there anyway to report these numbers?

I've been getting calls from this number and instead of answering the phone, I checked here.  Glad I did.  Just wish they would stop calling!

A fellow with an India accent has been calling every day for the past week by the name of Jara Jorge.  He was hard to understand.  For the first 5 days, I just let it ring.  Yesterday, I answered and no one was there.  Today, it rang again and I picked it up. He said that he had been trying to get ahold of me for a long while because I had a virus on my computer and he wanted to help.  I ask him who he was and he said he was with Microsoft.  He repeated himself about the virus, then I proceeded to tell him to never call again and hung up.  I hope he doesn't call back again!!!!!

Spoofed caller ID.  Callback leads to "number not in service"

I keep getting calls from this "New York" number. Someone with a heavy (East) Indian accent tries to tell me that Microsoft's getting message from my computer about virus activity/operating system errors/etc . . . I usually hang up on them. Once I told the fellow I knew it was a scam, then hung up. Today I told him it was impossible as I didn't have a computer! He told me to go to hell. LOL

'"They really need to add "scammer" to the "call type" dropdown on this site." JulieFromUtah'  I totally agree.

Received 3 calls already today and several over the last few days. They do not say anything. Just hangs up.

got.called 3 times today.  told him phone was being traced by police.  rude, argumentative.

MJG, I presume you meant report that number to the Do Not Call list although I'm not sure how much that will help with a foreign scammer using VOIP to spoof a US number.

Sorry - 800notes is not the people who are calling you.  This website can NOT help you end calls from that .  Why not add that number to the federal DO NOT CALL list??

constantly recieving calls for 718-205-0445 and I want these calls to stop ASAP

This is not the first time my phone has been called by this number. I thought I'd reported this before but I guess I didn't. Don't see my name anywhere here. The couple times I've seen this number and "Jara Jorge" (the name that comes up on caller ID) I've let it go to my answering machine. And of course no message is left -- the caller hangs up.

My phone doesn't have a call blocker - just has caller ID that pops up on my television as well as the phone (my service is connected). I always look up to see who's calling and know when to answer it and when to let it go to the answering machine. TV is always on; if I'm not watching a show, I listen to one of the music channels.The only time it doesn't show up on the TV is if I'm watching a show I previously recorded on the DVR. Then I just pick up the phone and look at its window. Can be a PITA but I deal with it.

Judging from what I've read here, my system does prevent me from having any problems - that I know of, that is,

Got a call this morning, afternoon and at night, picked up at night knowing this is a scam call. Had time, to fool with the caller, he told me he's calling from microsoft had virus, and I acted like I'm concerned and started to follow his directions. Guy had a chinese or indian accent, had him spell out everything time (r or romeo), i would start talking about romeo and juliet, d for deer, I start talking about hunting, Have fun with the scammer, then hung up on him.

I had the same thing today. I told him, "Thank you for letting me know about it, I will contact my IT department and they will investigate and resolve it.  Would you line me to transfer you to them?"  CLICK!!

ALEJANDRO JARA
(718) 205-0445
Apt 2f, 10468 38th Ave, Corona, Queens County, NY-11368

Before answering, I screened the id and the name read Jara Jorge #7182050445, upon answering, I heard an echo and/or reverb in the background, once the caller began his dialog stating his name was James, an IT employed with Microsoft. He went on to say they had detected numerous of malware and viruses within my computer, which at the time my computer wasn't powered on. I then asked for his name once again, he said,

Him: James.
I: James, what?
Him: James John.
I: So you have two first names?
Him: yes sir, can you turn on your computer so that we can fix the problem.
I: Where are your head quartered James?
Him: California
I: What city?

(CLICK) he hung up!

Beware! Total scammer!

They called me twice yesterday....Labor Day. First message was on machine but was just a lot of background noise. Then last night a lady called and told me a lot of messages were being sent to that number from my computer. She ask me to get on my computer and she could show me what was happening. I told her I had ALL kinds of Security so I was not concerned. She kept insisting. I hung up.

Called three times within an hour. Some sort of scam. This guy with a thick accent claims to be with Windows and there is something wrong with your PC. They are trying to get your info.Told him, I was going to connect him to the State Attorney General's office. He hung up.

Its called number spoofing. They use disconnected numbers and sometimes even spoof real legit numbers and IDs hoping you answer the phone.  

All those phoney techs want is access to your computer for who knows what and also to scam $$ for repairs they are not even doing.

This person, "Jara Jorge" has called my telephone number twice today. I dialed it back after the 2nd call, and I got a three tone signal and a message that the number was not a working number. However, I know it is, because someone just called me from it and I did not manually dial it back. I used redial. I have been having trouble with my internet connection all day long, and I have a feeling it is because of this number. I think someone is using our internet system to do something nefarious... I saw several reports here that said the caller claimed to be from Windows support, and then requested they turn on their computer. In order for someone outside to use your computer they have to have it on... they are probably watching your keystrokes.

SO - JARA?? STOP IT. I AM REPORTING YOU TO THE FBI. So there.

Same as above - called me on July 12, 2013 and said he was from Microsoft Technical Support.  Said I had very bad virus on my computer and wanted me to start pushing buttons.  Had a very heavy Indian accent.  I had already Googled the number and seen the scam reports, so I told him to never call again, at which point he started swearing at me.  I did call my police dept and the dispatcher told me that no crime had been committed since I didn't do what he wanted, but if I had told him to never call back, and if he did, I could sue them for harrassment.
He called again today, August 30, 2013.  Same accent, said he was with Windows Technical Support, and the same deal with viruses, and still wanting me to go into my computer and push buttons and he would fix it.  After playing him for a bit, I finally told him that I had previously told them to never call back and now I was calling the police dept and suing them.  He said, go ahead and call the police and I will talk to them.  I told him 3 times to never call back.  He insisted several times that I give him info from my computer.  I did hang up on him and called the police, they did come out, and they are checking into what they can find.  The dispatcher today also said she had another call come in about this same scam earlier in the day.
