Rcvd phone call...man - Tech Service..blah blah..a lot of error messages with Microsoft, approx 40%, wanted me to sit down at my computer...who is home at 2 pm? I'm working.  he wanted to call back tomorrow morning, told him I was working...thing is, I pay a service to watch over my computers 24/7...if there was something wrong...they would've informed me; not some hack with a very heavy accent.  silly man. agree with Tammy n Joy...let me call you...not the other way around.

Similar call like above. Told him to provide me with the password I had set up with Microsoft for IT assistants and he said sure do you have a pen and paper handy. And then hung up. Really do they think people are that stupid to just give them access to their computers. Get a real legal job.

I also received a call from a man with and accent (Accent- Most likely from or near India).  Said that he was an IT Tech from Microsoft.  That one of my computers was doing Something like the above comment.  I cut him off.  I just said, I don't do anything on the phone.  Thanks, I'll look into that good bye.  

Just rec'd a call (06/18/14) from 845-335-2990   Foreign female (India) stated she is an IT Tech from Microsoft and stated my computer is sending threats to Washington.   She wanted me to turn on my computer and read a number to her -
The entire time I could hardly hear her so after a few minutes she just hung up!

I received the same kind of call. Thick accent. Told me he was receiving pings from my computer. Said if I went to my computer he would tell me how to fix it. I was not at home so he offered to call me back tomorrow. Smh. Scamming idiots

He said there was a problem with my computer. Stated he was a certified computer technician and that he was getting pings from my computer that several Windows programs were not able to be used and if I would go to my computer he would give me a website to go to so that he could fix it for me. I asked for the name and address of the company. I was told the company name was Tech Service Masters. When I asked for the address he replied Ontario, Canada. I pressed further for the street address and he replied, " do you want me to fix your computer or not?" When I asked him for the address again he hung up. The call seemed to be looking for a way to gain remote access to my computer and was definitely had call room noise in the background. Very thick accent possibly from India
