Kevin Called, wanted to secure my computer and wanted me to buy a green dot money pack card with $100.00 on the card.  This is not a real tech corporation.   Kevin calls and he calls from a Washington, DC # 202-241-8304 as well as the 888's listed in other comments.   This truly is a prank,  Yes they will offer a life time of support, but want to keep selling you something to protect your computer, each time they call.  I will admit this, Kevin did resolve some issues with my computer.  I did fall pray to the first time, were I did give money for a life time of tech support, he was helpful, but he keeps wanting to sell something new,  Yes just hang UP!

I am a computer support specialist in rural territory.  Two households in my area have received calls  and paid the money.  The "techies" left them in a mess.  This is a farce and people should be warned.  They left a txt file on the desktop:
HELPLINE:1-888-882-0967

got a call like that and then I called Microsoft, worst thing I could have done, they sold me a service and charged me $99. did not do anything good for my computer, I did most of the work to get it right. am challenging the charge and they do not want to take it off my credit card acct.

Number belongs to Online Techies. They are absolute SCUM. This is a scam.

I guess most likely a scam.

My mom just called me saying that she got a call from MS. Same BS as everyone mentioned above. Obvious scam. Hang up and report. 888-882-0967

Number belongs to http://onlinetechiesupport.com . Indian company phoning & pretending to be Microsoft support. Tell you there is a problem with your computer & offer remote assistance.
This is a scam - dont fall for it.

These people called my inlaws saying that there are issues on their computer, they remoted into their computer, then said that this virus has corrupted their printer and all so even getting a new computer would not fix the issue.  After trying to sell them "lifetime support" for $139 then trying to give them a senior discount, I am sure that this is a scam.

Got a call from Joshua Mclane from Microsoft Support stating my computer is sending threats to their main computer? . Very thick accent and didn't want to provide me with a number. Suspicious? Most likely a scam

When they called me, "Kevin" said he was with "Microsoft Support" and was calling about an issue with my PC.  I assume they would have "found" threats that they would be happy to fix for a fee.  Nope!
