Got a call from this number for the second time. Guy from Windows Care claimed my computer was infected and needs service. Obvious scam so I told him there was no problem. He tried to convince me but finally hung up. Noted his number and will have it blocked.

I got a call from the same number: 213-221-3528; in fact, they have called me multiple times over the past week or so. My niece took a call from one of these idiots when they tried to call her grandmother to gain access to her computer... And people wonder why I don't answer my phone if I don't recognize the number... Smh!!!

This is another one of those G.D. scammers.....they called me, I did not answer. They let the phone ring only twice, left no message. When in the hell is this sort of bull-s*** going to end? They are crooks, and we need to learn you can not give them any information....
| Poodles 2014-04-08 00:46:00 Unknown |
A friend of mine kept getting calls from this number....finally she told them that she does not own a computer...they hung up suddenly, and she is no longer getting calls from them....definately a scammer, so everyone beware...don't get "sucked" into their scam.

Got a call from (213) 221-3528 Windows Care! They told me that I had put in a service call for my pc at home and that he was going to help me! To turn my computer on and he was going to guide me! He hung up at me when I told him I did not have a computer!

Just got a call from this number... "Ma'am, your computer is infected. You need to act quickly to save the remaining files..." Dumb a***s.

This fake Windows Service Center, likely based in India or Pakistan, calls at least every couple weeks, warning of catastrophic events on various PCs--they use a bank of numbers, so it is hard to block all call center calls. They actually had the gall to call on Thanksgiving last year and when they were informed of this fact, the caller claimed " I know its a holiday and your PC is sending out serious error messages." They do try to target older households in middle-class areas, hoping that they can victimize users with little to no knowledge of the scam or of normal operating system design.
My usual response, if I bother to answer at al, is either "get a real job" or "you all are crooks and deserve to be in jail," with an occasional expletive thrown in.

These people must have my number on speed dial as they call at least 5-7 times a week for the past several months. Always people with heavy accents. When I ask which computer and what operating system they are calling about they can tell me only that my computer is sending error messages to them. Total B. S. I know enough about computers to know they do not send out random messages and if Microsoft was calling they would not tell me a lot of things I know are not true. These people are pure scammers and simply won't take no for an answer. Just hang up on them, or as I did, tell them you are calling the FBI and they will hang up on you. Please do not give them any of your personal information...

Several calls from this number, same line about windows infection. We use our smart phones and iPads , and have not used a laptop, or desktop in over a year.
This time the caller said he didn't have to listen to this bull-s and hung up on me. LOL.

These people continue to call me threatening to crash my computer! Perhaps these are the people the NSAshould be concerned with.

| Kris 2014-02-03 20:19:01 Unknown |
I received FIVE calls from this number today (one at 1:40 pm) (I was at work, they didn't leave a VM) and FOUR while I was on the other line (all within a span of one minute (First one was at 3:04pm-the last at 3:05 PM)...Obviously I did not answer, since I didn't recognize the number. So I looked it up and found the information on this site. I will be posting to friends online to NOT answer this phone number. (My parents can be a bit gullible).
| wendi 2014-02-03 19:11:24 Unknown |

Window Scare is right.

I got a call from this number and when I answered, they said my computer IP address was sending out signals blocking their network. I said, "Oh, no! Give me your IP address so I can check that." Then they then hung up.

Their current address is Octane Infosolution Pvt Ltd, BF - 10, Saltlake, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
They are also running another company with the name of Octane Edutech Pvt Ltd.
Their previous address was FD - 14, Saltlake, Kolkata, West Bengal, India.

Someone left this number to me who was issuing me a refund after me paying them 600 USD in advance. When I checked, then I was horrified to know that scammers are calling me from India ! OMG I am gonna report this to the FTC. On one of the posts I found that they have shifted their office address to BF 10 , Saltlake, Kolkata, West Bengal, India and using the name of Octane Edutech ....

Did not leave message. Blocked number.
| Fred 2014-01-17 22:30:33 Unknown |
Got the same type of call from the same number. Caller had an Indian accent. Asked him if he thought I was stupid and then proceeded to curse him out.

Got a call from these scammers. Amazing that it is still going on. Gave me same song and dance as everyone else got. I am an IT Manager and know this is all BS. Asked the guy a LOT of questions that he couldn't answer. He just stumbled his way through the call. What was funny was he was telling me that I "singed up" for Windows Care with my current phone number when I bought my computer. Asked him WHEN was that? He couldn't give a date. Plus the phone number he is calling me on wasn't my number when I bought my computer. Anyhow long story short I enjoyed calling this guy out on everything he said. He realized I was on to him so just hung up on me when he got nowhere. I also gave the info out for this scam on the FCC website. Unfortunately due to cost cuts our Gov can't do a thing about these kind of scams anymore. There are way too many and now all worldwide. Not enough personnel to go after them and these idiots are always one step ahead. Too bad the NSA can't actually do some good and go after them. Ha!

| Allyson 2014-01-08 20:45:14 Unknown |
I have been getting calls from this number several times a day for the past week. When anyone answers we get a "ding" and an electronic good-bye.
| Deejay 2014-01-08 19:33:26 Unknown |
If you don't know the number or name, don't even answer. If you can, block the number.
| Eileen 2014-01-04 21:03:31 Unknown |
Just got a call from 213-221-3528; I actually didnt answer it because I didn't recognize it but googled it & found this page. Thanks for the heads up, if they call again, I'll continue to ignore it.
| t.timmerman 2014-01-04 18:45:59 Unknown |
Man saying were sending error messages to him. No. 213-221-3528.
| Big Al 2013-12-24 02:20:45 Unknown |
These folks are stupid! I played along thanking him for ?saving? me and coming to my rescue, until he realized I was pulling his leg. Then he got mad. I don?t even have Windows on my Mac!
| Big Al 2013-12-24 02:17:48 Unknown |
You are the scammer!
