You need to file fraud and take your computer to a real live tech you can see face to face. This is a scam and your replying to a shill for the scam.  You need to change all your passwords everyplace and place fraud alerts on your credit, bank, and CC's if you have them. 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 received a call from sean wright TSI130 from your company and said he was with micro soft defender and that my certification ran out and i have hackers tapping into my computer(he took remote control of ny computer) he signed me up for a two year contract indicating that if i didnt sign up i would be subject to hackers . my computer shut down and was unable to restart until i piad $295 for the contract-- beacuse this was after hours, he told ne to call 8005798083 and he would fix my computer.

shayantan adhikari .9831887933 . this is the person who owns this scam company, abuse as much as you can by calling him up

A man by the name Edward just called me from this number he said his identification is MS 117. He was very adamant about wanting me to log on to my computer so he could fix my issue with windows. I told him to remove my phone number from the calling list he said that was not possible. When I asked him which computer needed Repair he could not tell me. So I called him out and told him that I knew that was a scam. He then told me to call him back at 1 800-597-8083 That's when I did the search and found this site.

I am getting the same calls. They say they are partnered with microsoft and need to me to go to my computer to help with the problems.  I played dumb, got the same message to call the 800 579-8083 and that his name was William.  Im pretty sure its a scam for them to get info from your computer.

They now have a new tactic claiming that they are not calling for Microsoft but are calling to let you know that they are a legitimate company and if you have problems, please call them @ 1 800 579 8083.
So they want you to believe that they are a brand new and honest company.

Could not understand them well enough to get the name of the company they claim to be.

Makes you wonder how desperate these shills are, doesn't it!!

Of course they won't! LOL! These shills are such game players! I just read one in another thread that claimed to be the government, lol!

SO - what is your real physical address?  By that I mean street address, city, and zip code.  Of course there won't be an honest one since you are just a shill.

OKAY!  

I have an issue!  I'm on my computer, surfing the web, and come across the awesome 800notes.com. I'm doing mah thing, helping people, getting help, la la la, when, suddenly, a wild scammer appears!   This scammer claims to work with computers and that people's computers have issues, but really, only is interested in harming and stealing.  This scammer conveniently ignores that Microsoft themselves states that THIS IS A SCAM.  

Whatever should I DO??  


Oh, I know, I'll listen to Microsoft. Let's see, again, what they have to say:


Will Microsoft ever call me?

There are some cases where Microsoft will work with your Internet service provider and call you to fix a malware-infected computer?such as during the recent cleanup effort begun in our botnet takedown actions. These calls will be made by someone with whom you can verify you already are a customer. You will never receive a legitimate call from Microsoft or our partners to charge you for computer fixes.


Righto.  BYE NOW, SCAMMER.

(And whatever babelfish did you run that post through? JFC ow.)

And you are a scammer that doesn't use Western Union to scam people.  The absence of WU doesn't make you any less of a scammer.

Thanks Mery Ann for relying on us. We never ever ask our customer to make any payment through Western Union and we dont accept any money transaction from Western Union. Western Union gateway are used by scammers to rob people.

called and clam to be with microsoft and they are not affiliated.

did you actually get any support from them?

after a lot of google i found there are many companies who are calling us with same speech. major of them are using western union which means they are frauds. atleast this company has a base in us. the owner said they are new and trying to build competency. they have outsourced the support to an indian company. local guys charge a lot to do small jobs. this company seems cheaper to me.

Microsoft and it's network partners do NOT call you - not unless you've submitted a help ticket online or via phone first.

i got same type a call yesterday from techylink. they said they are member of microsoft partner network. they did some tweak in my system and my browser that was taking time to load pages, became very fast. my avast was expired they help get a worryfree trendmicro cloud security. they also say that they are trendmicro partner. but everytime i made call to the 800* it went to voice mail and then someone called back.

Just recd phone call from Jenny. She was definitely Indian. I could barely hear her. She told me that she was calling from Microsoft about a corrupt server and my computer ID came up on their list. She told me to run a program titled EVENTVWR...I asked for her number and she gave me 800-579-8083.

person called insisted that Microsoft Corp does no longer support using Norton Antivirus. Told me I needed his service, He called yesterday and again today Company names is Techylink.

this same thing happens to me 1.800.579.8083 and the man from india states his name is Joshua Lane -i questioned whether or not from India -he told me i was stupid

i just got a call i ask him how he got my no he try to say something i couldnt understand so he started cursing me out i hung up and he call me from 347 468 8856 i have a trace on my ph so i am going to see how this go

The same just happened to me, I told them I will call back then I found this forum

Just got a call from a "Brad Smith" with such a heavy Indian accent I couldnt understand him. He told me that for the last two weeks they were getting messages of a corrupt file in my computer. He wanted me to download something. I refuse and told him I didnt have time for this call and I have insurance that could easily fix this. I asked for his number and he said just to call him back and ask for him. He also said he was from microsoft. LIES!

Just recieved a call from this company, Techylink, says they are a microsoft partner and they want to help me with my computer.  Funny thing is he had my cell phone number and email address but Microsoft doesn't collect any personally identifiable information in any reports your pc may send to them.  I am an IT professional and have never seen or heard of anything like this, DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION, DENY THAT ANY OF THE INFO THEY HAVE ON YOU IS CORRECT AND HANG UP ON THEM.
