david86 is part of the scam if he is posting that anyone calling like this is legit.  DO NOT TRUST ANYONE THAT SAYS THESE CALLS ARE LEGIT.

david86 us a lying scumbag scammer like the rest. the only posts on here that are legit are the ones that
inform you  to avoid these scams - anything else is a trap!

what KC said. this is a scam.  do your homework and do not give these thieves a thread of information. microsoft or any of their partners NEVER  solicit techsupport help. these calls are as old as the fraud they are soliciting.  do not fall for these scumbags.

1-855-440-8822 is one of many numbers used by international scammers and cons - they most definitely are not legitimate.  all you have to do is look at microsofts website addressing this issue - there is NEVER  support contacting the user. IT IS A SCAM.  if you push these people they will threaten you with all kinds of verbal threats. that is not what a legit business does.

Just had a call from a man with a heavy accent that sounded Indian or Pakistani. He sounded very insistent and had a sense of urgency.  Said he was from Indigo Solutions, Bloomington, Ill. and when pressed, gave me this 855 number and said his name was,  Allen Peter.  Said my computer was sending out error messages that they were intercepting and he wanted to fix them.  Also mentioned that he was a Microsoft engineer.  He kept insisting I go to my computer and I told him everything looked fine.  Immediately turned it off so he didn't in some way have access to it. Sounds like it was a scam to me.  A legitimate business does not operate this way!  Allen Peter...humm....Maybe if he said he was "Santa Claus" I would have believed him.

It is definately wise to play it safe.   The real Microsoft doesn't call anyone to solicite.   Those who are saying that they were so helpful and so glad they called and that they fixed their computer are just a bunch of lying scammers hoping to boost their scam by posting false information.  These scammers are calling from Southern Aisa (usually India or Pakistan).   This scam is really getting old but will be milked until all people wise up and start hanging up the phone.    Steer clear....they are just filthy thieves...

I jut rec'd a call from this number claiming to be fro Microsoft.  The guy had a heavy accent. Didn't chance it with my computer info. Looks like everyone is saying something different abut these guys.  I'll play it safe.

called by man claiming to be Dom Smith, very heavy accent, wanted me to start up my computer,he,said something about software like Karen K above, I  did not trust him his call id # didn't make sense, it started with 135- I couldn't find that area code anywhere.

they are so helpful, they fixed all my computer problem.
ant mr. truth teller they are not a scam, they provided me with all paperwork. and my PC is also working great.

Karen that is a known scam. Please see Latest Forum Threads. There is always a Thread devoted to this very call, although they come with various numbers.

Yeah I did and they are independent company and they have no contract with Microsoft.
They are best online technical support company available online.
You can put your confidence on them.

Received a call from this number on June 12.  The caller (foreign accent) told me I needed to go to my computer because it was downloading malicious software and I should follow his instructions.  Claimed to be from Indigo?  A Microsoft Company?  This is not the first time I received a call like this.
