I've been screwing around with microtek. I call them disguising my caller ID multiple times a day. I act dumb, curse, and anything else to get a good laugh. It's great. If you get any further calls from them, put their caller IDs on here so I can call them and mess with them.

Called early this morning...  Never answered for I didn't recognize the 917 area code, for I live in Canada.  Guess there international now.

I join. It was and with me. Let's discuss this question. Here or in PM. informal wedding dresses uk http://www.weddingdressonlinesale.co.uk/18-informal-wedding-dresses/

Just recieved a call from 971-217-9510 to refund my money for fixing my computer. Person could hardly speak english like a second language. Told me his name was Anthony.

I live in Ventura, CA and received a call from MicroTec telling me my computer is going to crash any minute. He told me to go on my computer click on Start, select All programs, Accessories, and then Command Prompt. Well then I knew that something just wasn't right. He also said that somebody is trying to hack into my computer and he wanted to protect me. I asked how do I know that it is not you trying to hack into my computer and his answer was why would I be calling you if I would try to hack into your computer. Well we know the answer to that. I tried calling 971-217-9510 from my home phone number and couldn't get through., but I was able to dial it from my cell phone and same person answered the phone but then hang up on me. What a scam!!!!!

100% SCAM & TOTAL SCAM HOW THIS HAS NOT BEEN STOPPED I DON'T KNOW ... CALLS WITH DESCRIPTION OF CALL ON CALLER ID AS "RAGS" & "ANONYMOUS" BE FOREWARNED DO NOTHING WITH THIS OBVIOUS ATTACK ON YOUR PRIVACY & ATTEMPTS AT STEALING THROUGH BELLIGERENT FRAUD .... SCAM SCAM SCAM ...

This "Telemarketing Scam" is very, very good!!!! They provide web addresses that really exist, i.e. Microtech, is a real internet consulting company, Microtek, makes scanners and other products, even the [support at microtech term can be Googled and it displays as Microtech Support, however the real URL lists Microtek with the e - k ending at the end, not tech.
As with an earlier post, they do have all the correct information about your computer, software, etc........really scarey!!!...............They want to "SCAM" you out of $$$$ from $50 - $199, then offer a special for "Only" $130 for 3 years of free support anytime over the term..................Not Happening!!

As with an earlier post they do have all the correct information on you, IP, URL, all of it right down to the Microsoft Product ID codes............ They want to scam you out of $$$ from $50 - $199, then offer a special for "Only" $130 for 3 years with free anytime support........................Not happening!!

Got the same call.  Said his name was John Taylor - Indian accent with a generic name.  Thought it was outsourcing until I asked a question or two and I knew it was a scam.  Had fun with him, got his number and hung up.  We get scam calls all the time and, for fun, we like to harass them.  He hasn't called bad unfortunately.

Correction: Telemarketer

Please locate the person(s) who insists on calling folks to possibly access their computer systems and potentially do harm to or with any stored data.
Thank you.

Jst got a call from the number 971-217-9510. said he was from windows. Said my computer was sending  out programs back to windowns. Wanted me to go to the computer and go to the flag on my key board and press the letter r at the same time. thats when I asked for his number to call him back to make sure who he was! He said he would wait for my call! Checked the number on internet. Scam!!!

They don't have your IP address, they want you to open your PC by going to their website which is not a so-called website it's just a program setup to latch onto your computer when you open the site (it's like being connected to their network, the administrator can open all your files once you do this)

I just hung up on them (Irecognised the number from a previous time)............. raining here in Plymouth UK hope it improves for the Olympics.

Got a call from a blocked number, the Indian guy said he was calling from Windows, I said who makes Windows? He said Microtek.  He said I had multiple errors on my computer, etc, I asked which computer and he said the HP.  He wasn't guessing, he had some info, however, he was probably from a company that Microsoft has cut loose as a partner for doing this--but too late because they have all our info from Microsoft already. (I found a couple articles about this on the net).  I asked for a number to call him back and got 971 217-9510.  Obviously, this is a scam.

I just call the same call today . He said his name was David Spencer.
That his phone number was 971-217-9510 if I wanted to call back to verify.
He gave me some bogus MS license number.
He said he was authorized by MS to call me.
He said he was calling from Oregon.
I asked him where he got my phone number and he said from the IRS!
I told him I didn't believe him, thought it was a scam and not to call me again and hung up.
His accent was possibly British and he used zed instead of z

I got this same call yesterday & when i asked him to repeat his name to said i already told u what it was. Demanded i go turn on computer & then said i got virus 2 days ago it was trojan virus. He wanted me to go to website so he could fix it. I asked for website & he wouldnt give it to me. He was indian & the stuck his boss who sounded russian on phone. Neither one could speak english very well & they were getting pissed. I told them call back in 10 mins & u can speak to husband & he works for FBI & he hung up on me.

Got the same phone call yesterday from Microtech. The guy, David Corner, who is also from india took me to the different steps and then asked me to pay $149 to protect my PC. I am glad that I asked him to think about it and call later. I then searched for his phone number and got here. He got my windows ID though, hope this is will not do me bad.

My mother just called by a "Patrick" today wanting to talk to her about her computer that was evidently running a lot of viruses. She told them my husband works with computers so he would take of it. She did ask for his phone number though which was this 971-217-9510 number. The funny thing is she got call from a similar company yesterday called Micro PC Help. And they told her the same thing. And that if she went to their website they would fix it for her. She was leery so she told them she told them she had a son in law that was a computer tech and he'd look into it. And she called me right after she hung up on them. I researched the company name and found a ton of articles about this particular scam. And when I googled this number from today this site came up and a lot of articles about different scams going on. So yeah. Total scam. And yeah it has been around a while but that doesn't mean it isn't annoying.

Called and said  my hard drive was going to crash - I asked for their phone number and to send me an e-mail detailing the "supposed" problem.

I've been called by this guy twice in the past week, wanting me to mess with my operating system. When I said I was on the Do Not Call List, he argued with me and said I wasn't. I've meanwhile verified the I am on the list still. I smelled a scam immediately. I hope someone is checking into this guy. When I asked why he was spying on my computer, he conveniently got silent. When I asked for his phone number, he was evasive, but eventually gave me this Oregon phone number (his heavy accent and the bad connection tells me he was actually probably in India or one of Arab nations). I am even more suspicious because it appears he has his phone number blocked from being detected. WATCH OUT FOR THIS GUY!!!!!!!!

I got the exact same thing today.  Interesting however, as we just bought two new computers from Best Buy in Salem.  Any connection to your new computer purchases?

If these toads call you hang up. I grilled the guy for 10 minutes until he finally gave up and hung up on me.

I received a call a couple of days ago from "edward" with the same thing, telling me my computer was going to crash. How do they have our IP address? I didn't go on to even confirm this, my concern is we recently signed up for a telephone through TimeWarner a week ago and upgraded to high-speed internet, and the tech guy went onto my computer and typed in an ip address so that we could set up a new wireless id and password.

Wondering if this caused anything.

By any chance do you have TimeWarner as your cable provider, internet or phone?
Less than a week and half ago, we installed a landline through TimeWarner and here we go a call like this comes in. My husband is the only one who has the number.

Same guy called me yesterday from MicroTech, named Edward with a robotic voice.
Oddly enough, we just hooked up a landline with TimeWarner Cable. One week & 2 days after setting up this landline via modem with TW, we get this call.

Obviously I was smart enough to know right away that my computer (which I don't use) is not going to crash. After several questions on my end, I asked "so, Edward what is it that you'd like me to do?" and of course he replied, "I need you to go to your computer now"...blah, blah, blah......

Told him to never call again and I'm reporting this to TimeWarner.

Just went thru the call with Roger... He had my code for windows..then he took me to a page when would give him access to my operating system...didn't  go for it.  Scary that he had my code though....told him eventually to send me something in writing and I would get back to him.... Problem for me was though  my machine's acting up....But thank you guys for you comments

This Roger Williams dude is quite the character.  I told him I was having his call traced and he wasn't even threatened by it.  What a scammer.  He just wouldn't hang up and kept insisting that my computer with Windows had viruses on it.  I'm a little internet provider here in Northern California and my gentleman friend received the call and handed me the phone.  "Roger" finally hung up when I told him I knew it was a scam because my computer was a Mac and not and PC with Windows.

I caution my customers about calls such as this and want everyone to know about these jerks.  This time "Roger" wanted me to type in showmypc.com in the location bar so that he could convince me to let him into my computer.

People beware of scams like this.  If it were a nasty virus, it would be on the National news.  Microsoft would never call individuals with the kinds of lines that "Roger" came up with.  Again, BEWARE.
