212-796-4064

Got a call from unknown number.  An indian guy claimed he was calling from Microsoft and that I had a virus on my computer.  He was very insistent that I get on my computer immediately to work with him in removing the virus.  He identified himself as Martin and provided this number 212-796-4064 as his call back number.

Just like "carfeul person" I too received teh same exact call from and indian guy and gave the 212-796-4064 number to me too, he said his name was Mr. Johnson though and wouldn't give me his first name but gave me an employee number.  As he told me that I had a trojan virus - he proceeded to tell me I had an xp OS, and that I used a verizon internet connection and that my computer was at least a year old, I told him that was all correct even though none of it is accurate.  he wanted me to go wo www.supportonclick.com - I said I did but I didn't. While I truthfully have no proof, I have to believe this is some sort of scam to get personal information off of my computer - or to somehow infect my computer so I would need to "buy" his service or something to remove it.  I don't see how this guy and his call can be legit.

Just got a call from this same number.  Said I had error messages from Microsoft and he needed to fix.  I asked for his number which he gave as 212-796-4064.
I asked him why he was calling from NY not calling from Washington State--since that is where Microsoft is located.  He got flustered and then hung up.
Same Indian accented guy called my neighbor on Tuesday.

July 11th 08.
Got a call from same Indian man who stated that he was calling from an affiliation of microsoft and that i had a trojan virus on my computer, he was extremely persistent that I followed his instructions as the virus would crash my computer. He asked me to go to "run" and type in supportonclick.com , then to sign up, the page was asking for my personal info.(name,address, tel.# ect). i told him I was concerned as I did not contact microsoft regarding any problems and I would call him back. He gave me 2 callback #s 212-796-4064 and 212-796-0581 , and his name is GARY, but stated that he would callback in 15 minutes. I called both #s and none worked. 15 minutes later "GARY the scammer" called back and I cursed him out. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS INDIAN GUY.

The Indian guy called me, claiming to be from Microsoft. He said I had spy-ware embedded in cookies and Micosoft technician would help me if I logged on to spotonclick. He was persistent and insistent that I should follow his instructions and being a computer novice I was taken in ,at first by the Microsoft name. However I was suspicious that he didn't want me to log on to Microsoft. When he asked me for £45 I went balistic. He didn't get any details or the money but I feel an idiot for not recognising the phone call for what it was

Just got a call from and Indian man - same as all the above - very insistent that I had a Trojan virus on my computer, that he was with Microsoft, that it was infecting my files. Gave me incorrect info about my computer which I didn't correct. Told him that was rubbish - no problems on my computer, but I called the 212 number to check up.  Another Indian who admitted they weren't actually Microsoft but were supportonclick, and get information on customers from dealers.  He tried to put me through to the Sales Dept. Told him never to call me again. Has anyone notified Microsoft?

Just had a similar experience - caller ID blocked - claimed to be from Microsoft saying that I had a Trojan virus on an XP computer with a Verizon internet account. Extremely persistent - even called back.  Also offered a second number to call - 212-796-0581 in addition to 212-796-4064.  Name given was Keith Watson.  -- Where are they getting their list of people to call.  It seems like the people most likely to know both your Internet provider and your operating system would likely be your Internet service provider.  Hmmm... Has somebody gotten illegal access to a Verizon customer list?

same as above. live in NJ. Received a call from Bryan with an accent. He was desperate to send me to supportonclick.com. He asked for my wife, different last name. She is not registered anywhere with the computer. He claimed he was affiliated with Microsoft, and that they had gathered information that indicated a virus. He could even name it "trojan horse virus." I laughed at him and said that was a category, not an actual virus.
A few weeks ago, my wife gave out her yahoo id and password along with her name and phone number to a scam email supposedly from Yahoo Mail support.
I have reported the whole thing to Yahoo.

I also received a call from this guy.  He said that I could sign up for
help at $80 a month.  I think that he works with other people who work customer service at banks accross the country.   How unfair is this!
They want your ss#'s.  God only knows what their plans are for your financial situation.

Call from Indian who assured me I'd been infected with a virus and I should log onto www.supportonclick.co.uk. Gave me his UK number as 01274900834. When I told him I was registered with Telephone Preference Service and he shouldn't be calling me he was completely unaware of their existence. I strung him along for 15 minutes then got bored. There should be some way of shutting down parasites like this.

Just had a call from this guy!  What a giggle!

Told me he'd been asked to call from my ISP's support dept because I had problems on my PC.  Suspecting something fishy:
Me: Who's my ISP then?
Guy: Either Virgin, Sky or BT
Me: Well, which is it?

He couldn't tell me, so I got into a discussion about how I was software developer and if I had a problem with my PC I think I'd know about it.

Whenever I asked him a question he couldn't answer he just went back to the original statement that he was calling from the ISP's support dept.

The thing to do with any of these things is just to keep asking them questions - "What do you mean?" is a great one to ask about five times if you've got the time!

Received call from indian sounding guy.Something wrong with my computer,slow to start up.As it was thought he knew what he was doing,so paid a quarterly payment.Had call today 21 08 2008 again same thing ,slow running so log on to www.supportonclick.co.uk,eventually going to subscription page and then to pay an annual payment of £43-00p.Told him i paid payment in June he said now annaul payment due.didnt feel safe so told him i would contact them later.Had about 4 calls after that from different guys one after the other.Iasked for phone number.A bit hesitant but gave me this number 1274900834.I wont phone it.I think ive been had.

FYI - Received a call today on my home phone (landline) at 7:20pm local time here in Adelaide South Australia. Caller (Indian accent, no name) and script sounding much the same as those desribed previously - he said he was ringing from "Support On Click" and claiming my "local ISP" had provided them with a report that my PC was "running slowly" and that it was a "computer technical issue". I asked where he had got my phone number and details from - he repeatedly said my number (and the report about my PC running slow) was from "my local ISP" though he never named that ISP. I think this is very improbable as my ISP has a very good name and their website says nothing about this purported service provider. The caller kept returning to the same "scripted" phrases during the call but also became rather garbled as he went on to say that the problems they could help me with "might nver happen"!  A Google search indicates a website exists for this company (along with other search results from rather improbably looking "news sites") but I would be very cautious.

hi everybody....the site that you are talking about, is not that bad.....i visited the site. They asked me to pay $89 for a 1 year service. The $89 is the registration charge and in return they would be providing 12 months free support. The price is not recurring.....I visited the site but did not pay the price.....I wanted to take a look of their service....They provided me a tech support before paying and the reality is that my computer problem had been resolved by them.....I then happily paid them $178 ...thats a 2 yr subscription.....Now also whenever I call them they provide me free support.....no body asks for any dollars......I think there would be someone from you who should try out the service once.

Hate to tell you this, but you have.

Some how, I think every one who reads this is going to think you work for them.

Hi, I have had the company (SupportOnClick) call me twice now. All the usual very dodgy stuff. The funny thing is I mocked them the first time but two weeks later they called back again so that time I waited and got all their details (Nothing more then what is stated above). I put a complaint into the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission). He made all the usual claims that he was from MS and the ISPs but then didn't really know anything useful. In the end when I told him he was a scammer he said he was a federal agent calling from Washington DC and I was in big trouble for wasting his time and that I was an idiot (real professional). Needless to say he hung up to me laughing. Most definitely a scam and fraud I feel for the computer illiterate who will fall for their evil plan.

I too have been receiving calls from this guy.  First one went exactly as above using "your computer is running slow" and the error report to MS. He became really nasty when I refused to go onto the supportclickon site and when I asked how I was to know it was not a scam he tried to make me look a fool by saying he had given me his details by giving me the web address.  He actually scared me because he called me by my second christian name which is the name used by friends, whereas people who don't know me call me by my first name.  He also seemed to know where I lived and a few other details.  He then said he had been contacted by BT. I got rid of him that time, but have since had about ten more calls from him and my husband has had one.  After the second call to me I telephone Microsoft who confirmed supportclickon is not on their list of support companies.

Further to message above, sorry, I used the name supportclickon when I obviously meant supportonclick!

Twice had calls from this Indian "company". Number was witheld but when asked they gave me supportonclick.com as reference. This site lists the 796 4064 contact number!
I suspect they are planting and using Trojan droppers to get information from PCs. A few weeks ago I had a serious trojan problem which killed my virus and spy/ad killer software. The next day this company rang me and knew I "had a serious virus problem" and could help me cure it! How??? I had not told anyone!!!!
I told the caller what I thought of him as he must have put the virus there and he called me a "Fxxxing mother fxxxker".
Last night I had an internet problem which I resolved with my ISP. This morning I had the second call from "supportonclick". They told me my ISP had contacted them via the International ISP Agency (which doesn't exist!) to tell me they could help me with my slow computer.

There are several articles about this company on the net, giving it a bona fide appearance, but they are all on free sites and look as if they have been fabricated to give it a respectable "front".
They offered to give me an id and password so they could access my PC! No way!!!!!!!
