received a call today from them - same thing - error with computer - couldn't understand them - asked them if they were driving - they said yes - scam - thick accent

mmm....They are supposed to be ''Microsoft'' *cough*"MicroScam"

They called earlier this year and called this morning at 8h55 am (august 21, 2013)

I will ask Bell Canada to block them...

...Dont they have real jobs????

Called this AM from 971-217-9518.  A recorded voice said they were calling from National Credit Union Association and that my debit card has been blocked.  Instructed me to press 1 to get it reactivated.  I hung up.  Please don't give these guys your debit card information.  This is a big time scam to take money from your bank account.

Late Call 9:40pm on a sunday.  Heavy accent, could be Indian.  Stated my computer was sending error messages.  I asked WHY he was calling me... he did not come up with an answer and I told him I did not trust this conversation and hung up.  Got online and found this site.

My neighbor got a call from them last night.  They told her there was a problem with her computer.  She told him he was a F'n Idiot because she doesn't even own a computer.  I told her next time to go along with it and keep him on the line as long as possible.  Make like you're following the instructions and then he won't be ripping anyone else off during that time.

I received a call from the number this morning. For the life of me they need to have some one of the English language call ! I did here something about my computer but that was it. I disconnected the phone. If it was Microsoft calling then get someone who can speak English.

Everything is in English now in spanish. Yo tambien recibir dos de estas llamadas y cuidado es un fraude Tratando de hace caer al mas tonto.

an arrogant a***ole strong accent and i told him i have told you guys not to call me before ...... he said when did you tell me that why are you lying. I said don't call my f****ng # anymore do you understand and he said i understand your # f****. He was just a jerk and they have called before .... i tried being nice before it doesn't work.......last time i told him thanks for the info i will have my computer checked out at best buy.

I got a call from an Indian guy the same as the previous posts, claiming I have a malicious software and he was calling from Windows. He called few times, I stopped picking up and when the voice mail went on he did not leave a message. He called from 917-217-9518. I asked him few times for an employee ID and he said the connection was breaking up and called back. Also, to email me his employee ID because I did not believe him he was who he was and since he has all my information he can do it, but did not receive an email to confirm he was a Windows representative. So I guess another b***s***ter trying to scam people. Have your security on and ignore these F**KHeads.

I just got the call from 917-217-9518... telling that they are getting error message from my PC. I asked how they get error message... the error message should go to Microsoft... He said Microsoft is only a vendor... I am also in the IT field so I asked him again how they are linked to Microsoft and how they get the error message... His tone went bad and disconnected the phone... Tried to trace the call but did not get the details...

They had called me a few minuets ago, i had answered said hello 3 times and they hung up, so i called back and it rang and rang then it said that the caller i was trying to reach is unavailable

I just got a call from this number as well. I told the woman I wasn't interested and to have a nice day. She had the nerve to call me back and tell me I was being rude and she was trying to help me with my computer. I "politely" listened for two minutes, told her I was in fact extremely busy at the moment. That I was going to look into the number she called from to see if they were legit and that they were free to call me back at a later time. She hung up on me. lol

This number phones and when answered a recorded maessage says goodbye

I got this call today. The caller claimed that he calls from Microsoft and wants to access my computer to remove infected software.

The number i 1-971-217-9518.  The caller is India with a heavy accent.  He claims that he calls from Columbus, Ohio.

This number called me this morning while I was trying to rest, it said on my caller ID that it was a number out of Beverton, Or.
my husbands sister lives in beverton Or so I almost answered it.
I have had this same number calling before but said from TX, from AL from so many different places. They have to be really STUPID to think us Americans are as stupid as they are.
If I know its them I will answer the phone saying...... hello 911 what is your emergancy.... they hang up and dont call back for a very long time. Or sometimes I answer the phone saying Hello Maricopa county sheriffs Dept Caption  Miller homicide what can we do for you, again they hang up.

Got this today....  the # was different by the last digit  971 217-9508    I wished I had thought longer and engaged this guy in conversation more....Instead I got angry and told him this was bullc rap and to never call again.  Tried to call it back to see who or what answered....got answering machine saying they were not available.  Someone mentioned this was a Beverton Oregon number....that is not correct.  It is a NY City area code.  They tried this with my mother last year who hung up and called me about it.  Fortunately, even though she is not very computer literate she did not fall for it.

Do people in India have legitimate jobs or is the entire population making money on harassing scam phone calls? This is the 50th number these losers have called me from.

More Indian computer scam rejects. Getting sick of their crap.

caller id showed "googlepages top"

I recognized the many calls, 5 to 10 times, or more, I've received from these con artists - claiming to be from Microsoft or Windows.

Warning -- Scammers pretending to be Microsoft staff members, are calling people, attempting to trick someone into thinking they notice malware in their Computer.

I recognized the strong accent and general approach from many calls I've received from these con artists. I immediately told him he had nothing to do with my computer and he was working for scammers. I told him I hoped he knew that he was cheating people and hung up. This one did not try to talk over me and deny wrongdoing.  March 4, 2013. This time he cited problems with my "windows computer" instead of my Microsoft computer.

They called from 2 different numbers more than once. 917-217-9518 and 917-217-9514, caller ID comes up as Top Google Pages and says your computer is sending error messages. People have Indian accents. Cla to be from Microsoft. They ask you to go onto ammy.com to tap into your computer.

keeps calling and somehow is avoiding call screening-blocking

Just received a call from this number. He tried to tell me there was a problem with our Windows computer. The funny thing, we have all Apple products and we don't use any Windows products. What a joke, please don't get scammed by these guys.

Scam still calling

971-217-9518 is in Beaverton, OR
Microsoft.

I got a call but no message was left on my answering machine. My phone number is not on my computer and I use DSL with PPoE. This means that I get a different IP number each time I get on the internet. I have to manually log onto the internet so my computer does not do this automatically. My software firewall tells me every time my computer wants to check into a web address on its own volition and asks my permission to do so. I always deny permission.

It's those famous Indians calling to let me know that it's the Microsoft Statistics department and that I have viruses on my computer. So have some fun with them, they're trying to connect to your computer to steal your personal info. Don't do anything they ask, but do waste their time.

Got this call today too, I could barely tell what he was saying but I did make out that he said my computer was sending him errors. I asked how he could be attached to my computer in any such way and he said that it was from an online survey. I said Uhhh, I didn't do any survey... he mumbled something and hung up. After seeing this page I really hope they don't call me back, I won't be so nice next time ;)

We live in Ontario, Canada and I am the tech support guy in the house.
My wife has received two such calls in my absence from these people. She hung up and told me about them. I can't wait to get one of these guys who would like to fix my "Windows computer" on the phone.
I am disappointed that they are still in business harassing people with these calls?
