I also got a from them said his name Daniel representing Glacso Infotech. I gave them him access to my computer to know what they do, as I'm a IT professional. They showed me event viewer & errors present in it. They asked me for $50 for fixing this errors. But they didn't mess with anything onto my computer.

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!
If you think this is legit you're an IDIOT and deserve what you get for letting these criminals into your computer.

Liar. Microsoft themselves say this is a scam.



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.


Cybercriminals often use publicly available phone directories so they might know your name and other personal information when they call you. They might even guess what operating system you're using.

Once they've gained your trust, they might ask for your user name and password or ask you to go to a website to install software that will let them access your computer to fix it. Once you do this, your computer and your personal information is vulnerable.

Do not trust unsolicited calls. Do not provide any personal information.

Looks like a shill for the fraud here.

This is a legit company, providing each and every services they promised. I received it personally.

And then, Sam screamed- ?Then how come you say that I am a SCAMMER????

Where do you want to begin, shill?
Unlawful, non-compliant telemarketing of your stupid SCAM?
Illegal Consumer credit card laundering?
Consumer abuse, terrorist threats, harassment by telephone?

Another computer scam operating out of India.

"What if they provide u all service in front of your eyes n then talk about money?" ... WHAT?  So now these fake Microsoft scammers now sound like they're providing (micro)soft porn?!  ;-)

"u cant tell this can be scam or not" - Yes, yes we can!  As Mike-in-MD already pointed out, Microsoft themselves has posted that this type of call is a scam.  Microsoft will not call you about ?fixing? your computer.  If the person on the other end says they are from Microsoft, they are lying, and thus it is a scam.

?Sometimes this callers are true callers? - See above.  If they say they are from Microsoft, as the OP stated they did, they are not true callers, they are frauds and charlatans.

?What if they provide u all service in front of your eyes n then talk about money?? - You were the stupid one of the litter, correct?  Bad business practice any way you look at it.  If someone provides a service and both parties have not agreed on the price up front then the provider has basically agreed to do it for free.  Since there is no agreement, there is no contract, and no charges are enforceable.  But this is ignoring the fact that allowing someone you do not know, who cold called you out of the blue, access to your computer is one of the dumbest things you could do.  The smart person only allows someone they know firsthand and trust to touch their computer.  This may be themselves (ideally), a relative or close friend, or a local shop where they can talk with the technician face to face.  They would never, ever, allow some unknown voice (often with a thick third-world accent and poor English language skills) on the other end of a phone call, that they did not even initiate, access to their computer.  Ideally, they would not even answer the unrecognized phone number and thus even deny access to their phone.

?but because of other scamers we think every call about computer is scam? - So true, but that is because the companies that are not scammers do not call people out of the blue and claim there are problems with their computers.  Since the callers that are not scammers do not call people, then the only callers that do that ARE scammers.

The caller to the OP is a scammer, we can tell.  You are supporting that scammer, thus you are either one of the scammers yourself or a shill for scammers.  You can try to blow your smoke in hopes to obfuscate the issue but the regular folks here know which way the wind blows and they can quickly clear the air and show scammers and shills for what they are.

Here's some advice for you: Stop shilling and scamming, get a real job that actually pay's for real work!

Here's some feedback for you: Congratulations, you won today's shill award!

Microsoft themselves say it is a scam: http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

Caller ID information is easily faked and should not be trusted.

That glasco.com web site is a slapped-up disaster that looks like it was created by a high school student on a bad day. Notice the company has no physical address listed anywhere on its site. It doesn't name any people behind the business. The domain registration is "private" (anonymized) ? no reputable business would do that. They just copied the Microsoft Certified Professional System Engineer Logo onto their site! Anyone can do that.

All bad warning signs. Stay away

I also just got a call from that same number which is located in New York.  The gentlemens name is Kevin Martin, ID: 1100, ph 845-580-6922.  He even gave me his call back number to call him to make sure this was not a scam.  The internet site is legit, I checked it out.  www.glacso.com  It even has the Microsoft Certified Professional System Engineer Logo at the right bottom of the website.   Give me your advice and feedback.

and Joy i got the call from same number but that guy was so co-operative. He help my computer run faster n virus free with 1 year of licensed antivirus at cheaper cost. Im happy with it

u cant tell this can be scam or not. Sometimes this callers are true callers but because of other scamers we think every call about computer is scam. What if they provide u all service in front of your eyes n then talk about money?

You are correct. It is definitely a scam to gain remote access to your computer to extort money from you and/or steal your personal information such as logins and passwords to your banking websites, emails, etc.  Microsoft never cold calls users or hires companies to do so. They have warnings about this scam on their website:

Said he was a Microsoft Tech and wanted to access my computer. He said my computer was sending out global messages and had a virus. I think this is a scam.
