These Hindu Mother F****rs are running a scam from India which will contaminate your computer w/ malware. It is a total fraud--They claim to represent Microsoft but upon contacting Microsoft, they were exposed. Please call the Federal Trade Comission 877-382-4357 as recommended by Microsoft and report them. If you get a call from someone w/ an American sounding name w/ an Indian accent, tell them to f*** off. And if he calls again tell him you will personally go to Mumbai and castrate him and nuke has facility. If you are transferred to his Hindu woman supervisor, tell her you will **** her w/ a bull p***s cut from a holy cow and then nuke the place. It worked for me Caller: Echo Tech Support

The computer illiteracy displayed on these posts is exactly what a number of businesses, legitimate or not, truly rely on to make money.  
In this case, receiving an unsolicited call from a company ?offering? to help you should raise any number of flags.  Businesses do nothing EXCEPT for profit.  Please keep this in mind as you read this.
In the case of this company, I had a great deal of fun asking questions. Here is a summary of the basic conversation I had with ?John??a representative of the company under discussion:
John began the call in the typically ?outsourced? accent we?ve all become accustomed to.  First, he stated he was responding to an error report I filed (true) with Windows within the past month (Sept, 2013). Speaking quickly he stated that if I granted him ?remote? access to my computer, he would fix any errors I might have.
WARNING FLAG 1: DO NOT GRANT REMOTE ACCESS: If you grant remote access to an unverified, unauthenticated source, it is possible for that source to contaminate your computer with their own malware, adware, keylogger, etc. This, in turn, turns your computer into a virtual buffet: All of your personal data ? including banking, passwords, etc.?can then be forwarded to this companies servers and used for fraud.
I then asked John to tell me the name of his company, his work phone?and. More specifically?how he gained access to a Windows error report (and, my home phone number!). John attempted to explain that his company obtains information from my ISP, Century Link (who denied this) and not from Windows (who basically admits they have limited control over online reports.
WARNING FLAG 2: IT?S NOT A FREE SURVICE:  John told me there would be a nominal ?fee? if there were a number of errors to fix. But, here?s the thing: Once you?ve granted them remote access to your Eventlog and your computer?they really don?t need anything else. Your privacy and security have been potentially compromised.
WARNING FLAG 3: THE AGENT CAN GIVE NO SPECIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE HIS COMPANY GOT YOUR HOME PHONE?OR THE FACT THAT THEY KNEW YOU FILED AN ERROR REPORT:  John, in fact, had difficulty with this  question, and attempted to gloss over it.
Look, people: Isn?t it enough that the United States has a rogue spy agency (NSA) that has ALL your data already?  Do you really WANT to be victimized further?
WANRING FLAG 4: IF YOU GRANTED THIS COMPANY REMOTE ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER, I RECOMMEND YOU SCAN YOUR HARD DRIVE FOR KEYLOGGING SOFTWARE OR OTHER MALWARE. USE A REPUTABLE COMPANY.

you are a liar and work for these scam artists ......read on and do not trust anyone who says they work for Microsoft fixing things ......

Appear to be scam operators, just looking to obtain your credit card information. Probably thieves. They say they are from "Windows technical support". Will hang up on you if you challenge them.

I have a friend who works for Microsoft and ran echo tech support through their database. And it is in fact a scam. So those who are saying they fixed it in fact have been scammed not helped. Sorry about your dumbass luck.

A page full of fake "testmionals" proves nothing - except what frauds you are.

Which god?  Ganesh?  Shiva?  Cthulhu?  The Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Give it a rest you Dolt! Your Scam is busted here. Every time you post you just reinforce the fact that you are one...CLUELESS FRAUD!
Skeff Ett Liv!

Echotech support is not a scam.they really helped me to fix my computer.
i got a call from a name of frank.he was a good guy.he helped me to fix my computer

message was that he (Abey Baul) was from Windows Tech Support and errors from my windows computer had been reported to them.  He gave me the telephone number of 210-228-4047 and an extention number.  Said he needed to access my computer to correct my registry.  I told him I needed to close out of programs and I would call him back.  On the internet I checked to see if Windows tech was calling customers. (seemed unlikely since when you need them you have to pay for it!).  Only saw that "Windows tech calling" was used with scams.  Also checked out the telephone number online and saw it was used with various scams.  Within 3 minutes he called me back and insisted he was with Windows and needed to repair my computer.  I told him I had checked them out.  He tried again to convince me he was with Windows and that I had only 45 minutes to agree to the repair.

See: http://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx :

"Microsoft does not make unsolicited phone calls to help you fix your computer"

"In this scam cybercriminals call you and claim to be from Microsoft Tech Support. They offer to help solve your computer problems. Once the crooks have gained your trust, they attempt to steal from you and damage your computer with malicious software including viruses and spyware."

"Although law enforcement can trace phone numbers, perpetrators often use pay phones, disposable cellular phones, or stolen cellular phone numbers. It's better to avoid being conned rather than try to repair the damage afterwards."

"Treat all unsolicited phone calls with skepticism. Do not provide any personal information."

"If you receive an unsolicited call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft Tech Support, hang up. We do not make these kinds of calls."

This warning may also be helpful:

Also, check out your Microsoft Windows license.  The license will tell you that Microsoft does NOT collect personally identifiable information from you.  Alarm bells should ring all over the place if someone calls you claiming that they are from Microsoft or are an official Microsoft Windows Tech Support agent and that they identified you or your computer personally based on information "Windows was sending out."

Regarding echotechsupport.com, here is the owner of that domain name, his purported street address and telephone number in India:

Note, too, that this domain name has been in existence for only about seven months:

And here is a recent article from the Hindustan Times, bemoaning the fact that India has become the epicenter of fraudulent call activity, including those calls claiming to come from Microsoft or an "affiliated company" claiming to be calling to "fix" your computer.

It is worth noting that this website (800notes.com) turns up very often on the first page of Google searches when people are looking up a telephone number.  I suspect that scammers have noticed this fact and are now trying to flood this site with a lot of fraudulent testimonials for fraudulent companies.

As a general rule, I would guess that NOT being found on this site AT ALL is the best recommendation this site can give to a company.

If you think that you are the target of an Internet scam, which this caller may well be perpetrating, and you are in the United States, the best thing you may be able to do is report it to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at http://ic3.gov/default.aspx .

Few days ago someone called me up and told me that are from Echo Tech Support doing something for windows, i allowed them to make me understand everything which i was unaware of, they took a remote of my computer and fixed it. I am not very Technically sound but they were easy to Understand. The guy whom i was talking to was James Peterson, and the supervisor whom i spoked to was named Vinnie Kamble. He is a very good and helpful Technician. God Bless Them Both.

Because it IS a scam and you're a blatant shill, posting the address and phone number of one of your victims.

High time someone turned around and hacked them back!

They are losers. Trying to "repair" my computer. I'm a network administrator and I'm no idiot. I fired up a decoy virtual machine and they infected it. Ran a reversetcp meterpreter session to their system by exploiting some security holes in the "technicians" pc. Trashed all records of my phone number. Haven't got a phone call back. If anyone wants me to use the backdoor I put in let me know :)

210) 228-4074 Echo Tech Support very Good Support

They say they are from Echo Tech Support doing something for windows very helpful saved my computer from being crashed. God Bless Them.

He's a lazy loser.  Don't respond to anything he asks you to do.  To bad he's NOT smart enough to get a REAL job and mingle with the REAL world.  Steve Brown is NOT his real name.  He has been reported to the police in the SA area and Houston area.

ALWAYS CHECK THE NUMBER!!!  ANOTHER SCAM.  DON'T CALL HIM BACK.  NOTHING IS FREE....ALWAYS REMEMBER.  "SORRY STEVE O."  CALL YOUR MOTHER!!!

They keep calling me saying they are from Microsoft.  The weird thing is they want Teamviewer up and I am on it right now with someone fixing my computer.  They keep saying that Microsoft is detecting that there is a problem with my server and they have to get in right now to fix it.

Just received a call from "Windows Tech Support". Told me my computer was throwing out spyware.  Brett with a very thick India accent ext 2034 just wanted to help me clean up my computer.  I am an older lady and at first I was scared.  I called my son who is very computer savvy and he told me to go to google and enter the phone number no spaces or hyphens and SURPRISE SURPRISE IT"S A SCAM.  DO NOT FALL FOR THIS.

same here, Ace.
"steve's" extension is 2009, in case anyone wants to contact him.
there ARE anti-crash goodies out there, and a couple I tried years ago actually
did work, preventing those BSODs.
I highly recommend NIRSOFT.NET for windows investigative tools, esp.
Process Explorer, Process Monitor.  Freeware. Sent the guy a donation once,
perhaps it's time again. I have no affiliation with him whatsoever.

Have a good one, all.

I noticed that scammers have posted a link.  BE CAREFUL & DO NOT Click on there link.  They want to get remote access your your computer.  Please DO NOT click on their link.

Call came in "unknown" and I asked for him to call me back and unblock his phone #.  He gave me this phone # and I called it from my other phone.  He has a fairly heavy accent, I believe it sounded Indian or Pakistani.  Said I have down loaded a virus onto my computer and then asked if I had a windows computer.  I asked if he believed in God and he said, "No, I do not believe in God or Heaven or Hell".  I said you are an illegal scammer and he asked, "how can a scammer be legal?"  I said that scamming is illegal and is against the law.  He said, "Laws are made to be broken," and the he asked me, "Don't you believe this, that laws are made to be broken?".  I answered, No I don't, and that you are going to go to hell and I will pray for your soul.  I then hung up.  While I was having this conversation, I called the phone # that he gave and a man answered and said, "Yes it is me".

These guys appear to be up to no good.  A guy named Steve (with a strong Indian accent) told my wife that our computer was sending so many errors from Windows that it was overtaxing their server.  That's hilarious on so many levels, but I can honestly see how some not-so-tech-savvy folks might buy into their little ruse.  They seemed to want to sell some software that could prevent this from happening, and clean up our machine.
