Indian accent guy calling himself "Nick," calls my elderly Mom and keeps her on phone for an hour - I live an hour away, and got suspicious when her phone was busy for so long, so Skyped her, and got to see her kind of helplessly (dementia) trying to TALK with this guy... another stroke of luck, a neighbor came into Mom's house and talked with "Nick," who was evidently angry. Mom said he'd told her hackers had gotten into her computer, and she actually remembered the amount of $269 as what it would cost her for them to fix it! And, he called again the next night. This is so sad, and we have no idea what to do about it! Jerks.

I just received a call from a guy with an indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft. He said everyday I was logging into the internet I was getting viruses. I googled the number that he gave me because I told him to prove who he was. The number 1-888-514-1650. After seeing everyones posts I quickly hung up on him. Thank you!

Got a call today (6.4.14), same thing as some of you have stated. Caller had a thick accent (maybe India)..said he was Matthew Johnson, from Microsoft windows tech support, and he said my computer was "sending them error messages" and "downloading unwanted files that would damage the pc and these files were bypassing my pc security system" He wanted me to run a program and it would help identify if these unwanted files were actually on the pc. If so, he wanted to help remove them. I took his phone number 1-888-514-1650, and his ID WS109. When I called the company back the person who answered the phone said they were "Go 4 Marketplace"

This call sounded very much like all the other calls reported for this number. He had some personal information: He knew I had done business with KOBO recently. He said his name was Bruce. I went along with him until he started asking me to execute programs from the DOS command line and then I said I wanted to check him out and get back to him.
| Indian hackers fail... 2014-05-27 00:05:44 Unknown |
Any body that says that it is not a scam is lying, it is also probably some Indian people trying to clear their name so they can hack more computers, just listen to their grammar!!! "but don't know", "but he help me to make", "WHY U PEOPLE ARE TELLING IT IS SCAM?", "Then they provided me some softwares with a lifetime package and gifted me a TAB" I also received a call from this number: 888-514-1650, they asked me to go to my files, so I said that I keep my nail files in the cabinet, but I have a metal file in my tool box XD XD XD

Guy from India claimed he was a calling because my Windows was infected and tried to get me to perform some operation on my computer. Of course , I didn't trust him, especially after he had my name, but also the name of someone who hasn't lived here in many years (from phone book.) Told me his name was Max Parker and gave me this number. However, my caller ID said 305-474-0806 which seems to be a landline in Florida.
| DN 2014-05-23 12:33:24 Unknown |
Called me and told me that my computer and every other ones in the house using the wifi with Windows was infected and that he could clear it out. He said he would tell exactly what files needed to be cleared. I had to ask him several times for the number and this is the one he gave me, 1-888-514-1650. He had a very thick Indian accent and I didn't get his name. When you call the number it goes directly to a list of "press 1 for this and 2 for that". Never was on the computer when I was on the phone with him, so I feel my machine is safe. Not sure exactly how he got my phone number.

Not again...I got the same call from another guy named Joseph, with some sort of Emply id- MSW1089. When he asked me to turn on my computer i started playing with him, and said that my computer was turned on. After quite a while he started giving me a indications that end of the call he just want money. The last word i said is f*** off. Why better business don't take any kind of actions regarding this bloody Indian scam calls.

These things never end. Got a call from this same number 1-305-474-0866. Wanted to clean up my computer by telling me the keystrokes to do it. I played along with him for awhile and then asked him to give me all the keystrokes to do it myself later when I could check out if they were legit. He said that he had to help me do it directly. I asked him who he worked for and he said "Goforeemarket" and I asked him who was paying him and he said that was private. He gave me the number 1-888-574-1650 to call his company. I told him I wasn't going to let him have control of my computer and he hung up. I called back the first number above immediately and it was disconnected.

I just got the same type of call from "Jay Smith." Caller id said it was a Miami, FL number: 305-474-0866. He said it was different from the callback number (the "888" number) because he was using VOIP. Didn't trust it. Said he was from "Go4emarket" and they'd been hired by Microsoft to provide technical service. He said that, if I didn't do as he requested now, then my computer might crash and then they wouldn't be able to help me. Still didn't trust it.
| Mary 2014-05-10 17:10:42 Unknown |
This is a mess. Do not allow these people access to your machine.
| Alex 2014-05-10 00:08:29 Unknown |

| Jill 2014-05-09 21:03:58 Unknown |
I also got the call from "Rick" wanting to get into my computer. He said it was a tech call wanting to help clean my unwanted files. He said everything he could to get me to log on to my computer. I knew he was a scam and I had a little fun asking him stupid questions. Sadly he played along thinking he would get into my computer. Very scary!!
| sssmickey 2014-04-25 18:12:56 Unknown |
Second time received the call. Last time they use the last call number on caller ID. Trying to scam me big time on getting in to my cumputer. Keep up the reporting

I got a call from this company using 305-474-0866 and got the call back number at 888-514-1650, told them I am hard of hearing and they need to speak up. Had him screaming as loud as he could told him I could still not hear, would he like to call my grandson, he is good with computers. He took the grandson's phone number I gave him. The number I gave him The United States Attorney's Office in Boston, hope he calls. I also give out the Boston FBI number and for people selling drugs and medical supplies the Boston DEA number

They called us and tried to scare us into doing something on our computer, because 'Microsoft texts' would not be working. Really? Funny my computer works just fine. We are older and have some experience with computers. I might add not stupid! The whole thing got funny when the 'English as a second language' person tried to blame people in Texas for the problem I'm having....of course I ask for his number so I could look up what company this was from. I never buy into to anyone that acts angry because I'm not concerned by his words.....odd people to say the least!
| Janet 2014-04-12 22:44:01 Unknown |
Yesterday I got a cal from a man with a strong Indian accent also. He said was with Tech company licensed by Microsoft and got my info from their list. Of registered Microsoft users. Thing is I don't recall registering with Microsoft. Not calling back either.
| Lance 2014-04-10 22:17:34 Unknown |
Called claiming to want to help resolve serious security issues. Heavy middle-east accent and could barely understand. Also claimed to be associated with Microsoft. Don't buy it. Don't EVER buy it!! You call Microsoft. Microsoft does not call you.

I've gotten multiple calls from callers with strong indian accents, who indicate that they want to deal with files on my windows computer (as if I would give access to a stranger).
This time I was tired of them calling and wanted to find out who they were and what they were doing. So I got the number, checked it here, and saw that many other people had been called by them. I called them back to see if the number actually worked, and it did. I asked to get off their call list and the guy acted all confused like he didn't understand what I was talking about and like I needed to talk to another department. I said, "That's okay, I can just give your information to the FCC, since you are required by law to take me off your calling list." Suddenly, he seemed to comprehend English, and firmly stated that I wouldn't get any more calls.
Just so you know, there is are severe fines for calling someone on the do not call list, as copied below:
"State penalties range from $500. to $25,000 per violation. National Registry fines are $16,000. per violation. Please note you can have multiple $16,000. fines per call. Example: An individual is on the National Registry and you called after hours. Two violations for a $32,000 fine, one call. Call centers and businesses may be investigated by the FTC, FCC, States Attorney Generals, individuals or all four." http://www.donotcallprotection.com/do_not_call_faq2.shtml

Mr. Parker. its not lie. I have met one of my friend who took this service and received acknowledgement letter and he was asked to sign and fax. He did as well. In that acknowledgement letter they mentioned to check terms and condition in their website however when you visit www.esupport-live.com website and observe, its a 2 page website and will not find any terms and conditions or policies of the company. It clearly indicates they don't know what they are doing. They are making stories and telling to old age people and scaring them pretending they are from microsoft and fooling around and taking money from us.
If you wish, you can also visit their website and try to find out their terms and conditions, policies, blogs, serveys etc. nothing is there in it. THEY ARE FAKE. CRIMINALS. FRAUDS. THIEFS. I don't have any more words to describe them.
| Anthony 2014-03-31 18:19:37 Unknown |
its true. Everything belong to E-support Live is fake. its a scam company. They pretend to help the customers however they actually do not. They provide free softwares like CCleaner and Malwarebytes at a cost which is absolutely free of cost. Moreover they will show inf files on your computer stating that these are infected files however they are suppose to understand that this is not infected but infromation files. They pretend themselves tech savvy but not. They are liers and making us fool to make money.E-Support Live is a Scam company nothing else.

They called me and I let them in my Virtual machine first thing he did is run syslock command and set system password. I was glad I had snapshot on place. Be-careful you can full them by phone but never let them connect to your computer of install remote software
| Sylvie Tyler 2014-03-28 23:45:15 Unknown |
Just got a call from eSupport live. Just from looking at the caller ID my gut told me scam call, plus I'd just gotten another one yesterday. Heavy Indian accent, same story as the others - viruses on my computer that he wantd to help me clean off. I played along and asked why he wanted to help me, how would he benefit, he kept reverting to his script, when I pressed he said it was just his job that he was getting paid for, I pressed more, why did hi s company want to help me - out of the kindness of their hearts? He was obviously getting frustrated but kept insisting I just look at my computer. I finally told him that it was obvious to me that this was a fraud call but he didn't budge surprisingly. Usually when I say that I hear a click. He kept pressing me to go to my computer and I finally said no thanks and then I got a click. His frustration and rudeness at certain points were definite red flags.

They are Indian scammers and extortionists. This scam is popular all over India and usually targets people in English-speaking countries.
It's been going on since about 2008 and I still don't know why people are still falling for it.
If someone with an Indian accent calls you out of the blue and offers you something, you can be pretty sure it is a scam to get your credit or debit card information.
They spoof numbers to make you think they are calling from somewhere ELSE rather than India. They also adopt anglicized names--which should be a dead giveaway, but people still fall for the scam.
| Charlene 2014-03-27 18:35:12 Unknown |
I got the call today, with caller ID showing 201-236-0038. "Robin" said, in a thick accent, that my comptuer screen would be black tomorrow if I didn't let him help me. He gave the call-back number and address as: 888-514-1650 and 616 Corporate Way, Valley Cottage, NY (which Google shows as an address for some
tech-sounding company).
| Shawn 2014-03-25 19:14:17 Unknown |
I got a call today at around 1:00 PM today (3/25/2014), The caller said his name is James William from Microsoft authorized company to contact me because recently there are issues with IE on windows, which had downloaded unwanted files to my computer, he wanted to access to my computer and walk me through to fix the problem. This guy has a strong Indian accent. This is a very suspicious call, I did not let him access to my computer, and asked if I could have him back. He gave his phone # as 1-888-514 1650, but the caller id shows it as 303-961 5402. Then I googled it and found there are so many comments on this #. I don't think it is safe to let unknown person access to my computer just by a call. Be vigilance.
