A guy called me who has an Indian accent, claiming he was a windows tech support person. (No Surprise) he knew my name, and wanted me to go to the run window and type in wvw something, but it put me in the system logs, right about that time, I knew he was a scam and hung up.

How about the ad that appears for me at the end of all of this... 4 reasons why Mac is slow and you can click on macaw.com/Slow_Mac  If I click on that will I get hacked???

I got a call from this number at 7:10 AM this morning.  A man with a thick Indian accent tried to tell me that my Microsoft WORD was sending viruses through my emails and he needed to help me fix it "right now".  When I asked for his name and who he worked for he said "we work for Microsoft".  I asked him to explain who is "we" and did he understand that it was 7:00 AM.   He dodged answering the who is we question but said, "yes I know it's early but this is very important".  I told him I have my own local IT person and would have a trusted source check out any problems and then I hung up.
SCAM, SCAM, SCAM

Who the frig is this person???  I'm getting calls around the clock - all hours of the morning.  I've reported this to the FTC and sent word to case assistant at Langley.

Just got 2 calls from this number, within 15 minutes; same statements as above. Indian speaking male, started talking to me about virus' in the area. I explained I have a Mac (really don't but figured if they really worked for windows they'd know otherwise). The second time I answered 'China King, May I help you?' Without responding I heard a 'click'!!!

Wanted to have me put info into my computer.
Scam!!!

Get these calls several times a week.Indian speaking man claims to be with Windows,sometimes Microsoft.Wants me to get on my computer & follow his instructions.When I say no and to stop calling me,he hangs up.People!!!never get on your computer and follow anything these people say!!!! They want to hack into your computer!!!

An Indian thick accent guy said my computer had a virus and it caused it to run slow. Being on the weary side of " who the heck is this?" I' from Microsoft ... I needed proof. He was able to take me to MS-DOS area, type in codes to access info on numbers, told me what it said. Then he tells me to go to web-site AMMYY. He told me to click on green button. Reading info on page, this allows him to access my computer. Red Flag went off in my mind. No way Jose! Told him I had to go. Hung up. No outsider should be allowed to see everything on your computer, bank numbers, passwords. Hang up on them, block them, don't believe them. They even called on Christmas! Didn't answer since they're blocked.

Just got my 2nd call from this hacker.  Anybody contacted go to ic3.gov and report it. He had my name and phone number. I am changing all passwords. Lets get this clown

I received a call at 7:00 am and my answering machine was full and they must have let it ring about 30 times before finally hanging up.  The caller ID says "Savoy Taurean".

Have received 2 calls from these people. "Problems with your windows computer".. Indian call center, lots of background conversations. Told them I would report them. I'm on the do not call list, anyway... Glad to see my assumptions were correct about this one.

got a call at 4:30 pm from someone sounding like Indian saying something about my Microsoft was infected and if I used email, googled sites or used my banking my computer was infected and could crash as any time.  Wanted me to go to my computer and he would show me how to protect it from crashing. Had to fix it right away, told him my computer was turned off and my connection was really slow, will call back later.

Why can't the NSA find these idiots? Here's your rag head terrorist.  

They tried to pull me into the let-us-save-your-Windows thing a few days ago, and called me again two more times. I do not own anything running Windows, but I didn't bother messing with the guy.

These entities must be making money somehow; otherwise. they wouldn't pay a room full of drones with only a basic grasp of the English language to endure torrents of verbal abuse, like the one I unleashed when "Taurean Savoy" rang my landline at 6:10 AM today. Are there really people who fall for this? And WHY is this stuff legal?

I too got the call...The Indian said he was from Microsoft to fix my Google problems...Would not take my NO as an acceptable answer...He HAD to fix it NOW....I hung up.....

The call actually showed up as 11 2145646792 which means the call originated outside the country.  This is usually my first clue it is a scam. They getthese numbers that look like they are coming from the States but are not. Being 7 AM on a Saturday, and with a lot of ice on the roads I answered without looking closely at the caller Id. Thick Indian accent, male telling me he was calling with Windows support (second). I was like as in Microsoft. He response was no mama. Microsoft only makes the program from the manufacture that runs the computer, and they don't anyone.
I am thinking no **** sherlock. By this time I know he is full of bull. He goes on to tell me that my computer had downloaded a bunch of programs from the Internet over the last few days and he can help me fix it.
I am thinking yeah right and your cousin has some money he needs help getting out of Nigeria too. I told him no I don't think so I have plenty of protection on my computer and I ain't buying what ever he is selling.
He said no it is not a virus. My antivirus is not going to protect me or catch it. I need to go sit in front of my computer and he will help me fix it.
Yeah I just fell of the turnip truck yesterday, and am that stupid. I ask him if he knows what day and time it is he is calling. I don't know what country he is calling from. But hubs and I are both IT people and I know better. I am calling the police to report this call and he can kiss it. Then I hung up.
Never give anyone access to your computer. Microsoft, Wimdow, Norton, McAfee, Webroot,office, Apple, HP, Dell, etc. are not going to call you or email you. They are going to alert you through a push notification on your computer. The same way they notify you when you have any update. They will also know your computers IP address, serial number, and/or program licence number. DO NOT EVER log onto your computer and put in a code or give someone offsite access to your computer who calls you or emails you. It is a scam and they are wanting to hack you computer. Copy this and send it to your Grandma and other people you know who are not computer savvy and might believe this call is legitimate.

I never answer my home telephone but I was expecting a call from a company and so I took a chance.  After a few seconds a  man with a very thick accent started almost yelling hello and I knew immediately it was not the call I was expecting and that it was probably a telemarketer.  I was disgusted and every time he yelled hello I waited a bit and then yelled back hello.  Then he started saying something about my computer and because I couldn't understand a thing he was saying I just kept saying "what?".  I think he got disgusted and hung up.  Because I thought he mentioned my computer I immediately unplugged my modem.  I texted the number to whitepages.com and got Savoy Taurean that was mentioned above and then searched the name online and found this webpage.  It looks like he was worse than a telemarketer!   I guess I will go back to never answering my phone.................

I'm in Geneva, Switzerland and receive calls from this number. Don't answer numbers I don't know.

Called today 12/03/2013...I do not answer such calls.  Scam,scam!!!

Three phone calls today. The first was at 7:00am. Indian speaking man claimed he represented windows operating systems and my computer had a virus. I hung up on him.....

I just got one of those 214 564 6792 calls. Pretty much the same scenario as everyone else. I asked to speak to his suspervisor, who came on the phone sounding exactly like the caller.  This "Siri" person threatened me. I asked him all the pertinent questions...can you read English...do you read the papers...then I said then you must have read this call is a scam. He became enraged....how dare you, (over and over again). I said, you called me, I didn't call you, I'm the one who is enraged. His response was I should put a bomb in your home! I said, what did you say...he repeated it. I said if I could find out where you are you could be arrested for threatening to put a bomb in my home! He said, call the police... I said, sure, and tell them that "Jack" in Baltimore Maryland called me and threatened me. I said, I know you are probably not Jack nor are you in Baltimore. He said he was in Baltimore. I hung up. He called right back, I didn't answer. I don't know how to block my number but I'm going to find out.
This went beyond harrasment and scamming. These people should be dealt with by the police.
Thanks for letting me "vent"...grrrr.

the same name and number 214-564-6792 first he called me private and also wanted me to hit the windows key and follow his instructions I started to then felt something wrong about it and stop and told him I was not going to do it...this was yesterday and today he just called with this number and the name taurean savoy, I told him to stop calling and nothing is wrong with my computer.

I received a call today from a cellular phone number (214)564-6792, which was an Indian sounding guy, whom stated his name is David. Oh, not to mention today happens to be Thanksgiving and he called at approximately at 7:20AM this morning.  I became a bit skeptical once the guy (David) asked my name (He stated the first initial and my full last name).  After he stated my address, I figured he found me on Google, because my address is listed under a total different state.  I asked him, why was he calling so early, and what did he happen to find regarding computer.  He went on to explain that my computer was currently being hacked and it's extremely dangerous because my bank accounts and personal information was being exposed.  Any website that I've visited is at risk. -He happened to capture my attention once he said that.

David later asked me, if I can press the ctrl and windows button simultaneously, and kept pressing the issue that I press it. I later asked him, what's it for, and he exclaimed, its to check for an online infection.  I placed him on hold, and went directly into my boyfriends room (he's excellent on computers) to ask him to listen in and apprise me of his opinion. After listening for less than 5 seconds, he stated it wasn't legit and advised that I hang up, in which I did immediately.  However, I called the number right back twice(allowing my number to show, and blocking my number) and received an error message as follows, "The number or code you have dialed is incorrect, please check the number or code and try again."

I have not received any calls back from this David guy, but if I do, he will definitely be blocked!  What a horrible hoax! I hope this helps and please use your direct common sense when dealing with these people!  This goes to show how people are in such desperation to attempt anything around this season!

I received a telephone call today from a man who represented himself as a ?WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM TECHNICIAN.?  He told me that my computer was presently downloading a virus and that he was calling to help me clear it up.  Of course to do this I would have to give him remote access to my computer.  I was not home at the time and THAT WAS NOT ABOUT TO HAPPEN ANYWAY!
I became suspicious since Microsoft Windows do not monitor our operation systems and they certainly do not initiate contact with us or call us about a potential virus problem in our system.  Plus, I just renewed my virus protection package and all systems are running normally (By The Grace of God).  Therefore, I began an investigation into this alleged virus problem and discovered that IT IS A SCAM.  
These scammers will ask you to cut off your computer.  Then sign back on and visit a particular site where you will be asked to download their software tools and give remote control of your computer to them at which time they will plant all types of bugs, viruses, worms, malware and trojans on your computer and then offer to remove them for you for about $200.00 / with a CREDIT CARD TRANSACTION.
DON?T FALL FOR IT.  Use common sense and be skeptical about anything that is out of the norm.  
BEWARE OF THESE SCAMMERS and help me spread the word by passing this notice to as many of your friends as possible.  
Look out for a call from 214 564-6792. It is the devil himself.  They have called me 5 times today and are still calling.  I am about to block their number.

A woman who identified herself as "Jack" told me that my computer had a virus and was connecting to the internet, infecting other computers.  I let the call continue until she told me to press the Windows key on my computer.  I told her I had a Mac.  She said "Go buy a windows computer."  I said I was perfectly happy with my computer and I haven't had any problems with viruses with it.  She told me "Go buy a windows computer and then I can help you."  She was laughing.  I said, "No thanks!"

Probably NSA trying to get some more data.

I have been receiving calls from this # as well, they never left messages. I finally answered this morning when they called at 7:40 am, and it was an Indian speaking man, telling me there was a problem with the Microsoft product in my home. I told him I was not interested and hung up. I got in touch with Microsoft who confirmed it as a hoax. They want you to get them into your system to "fix" the problem, and then gain access to all of your personal information.

Very dangerous. Difficult to understand Indian male claims to be from Microsoft and my computer has a dangerous virus. He wants me to go into Windows and type in a certain code. I checked with my IT person. This is a hacker, and if I had followed his instructions it would have given him access to everything in my computer uncluding email addresses, credit card numbers and bank accounts.

Very dangerous.  Almost unable to understand this Indian man.  He claimed to be calling from Microsoft about a virus in my computer.  Didn't sound legit, so I spoke with my IT person.  This is a scam and if you follow his directions it will give access to your computer records with bank accounts, credit card numbers, etc.

Why don't these clowns have to abide by the do not call list.  Someone should crack down on these fools.
