315-294-0229

Claimed to be with Microsoft and wanted to access computer. Very polite guy w Indian accent but definitely a scam. Didn't see this number anywhere on the Internet so in case they call you - don't answer!

Got a call from one of these bozos. I strung him along for about 15 minutes before I told him I own my own PC repair business and he was lying. He said his name was Stephen (or Steven) Foster (with an Indian accent... so funny, why can't they use a reasonable sounding Indian name? maybe "Pradeep"??) from Windows PC Care Support. the number that came up on the caller ID was "Peek Beatrice" 256-232-2097. Then I spoke low and very loudly into the phone and said, "YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF" and he told me to "Shut up!". BUWAHAHAH... LOL.  This is the number he said he was calling from (3152940229). I asked if I could call him back on it and reach him. He said I could, so he probably has a skype number with fake caller ID.

My wife get a call from Robert(?) with a strong Indian accent offering PC support saying that we were downloading malware and they could fix it. He said he was from Windows and the number was 315 295 0229. We won't be calling him back.

Many thanks to others above who confirmed my suspicions this guy spoke with an Indian accent asking had I noticed my computer running slowly -apparently if I didn't do what he told me to my computer would stop working , he told me to open up my computer and he would help me down load a programme which who protect my computer forever. What a tit.

I got this call as well! Be aware they will try to run your credit card and try to stay on the phone with you when you call your bank or they will try to call for you if its declined, hopefully you wont say anything like passwords while on the phone with the bank try to reverse  the declined card. He will say the company name is service tech. He is very deceiving low life person or persons that pry on unsuspected good people. there is another number that they use and it is 419-822-3758  Microsoft Will Never Call You for any reason....

Caller ID showed name and number as UC Campus Berkeley, 510 642 1886.  However, the person on the other end with an Indian accent said his name was Ray Conn (I had him spell it for me); said he was working for the Windows Service Center for Microsoft; told me there was a problem with my operating system and he was calling to help me fix it.   I told him I hadn't noticed any problems but was really busy at the moment and I'd be happy to call him back.  The return number he gave me was 315 294 0229.

I also received a call this morning.  Same story.  Definitely a scam.

Scam....trying to get your passwords and account information. ..His name was Albert Williams ..heavy foreign accent

Got a call from "Brad" Indian guy. Said he was microsoft and Caller id was 219-322-2695 from Dyer Family Den who said my computer was infected. I didn't know Microsoft changed its name. So I asked him for an email and he said he couldn't give it out. funny but he wanted info on me. this guy is probably a terrorist working for isis. Microsoft shut them down you sobs...........ever since I downloaded windows I have problems.

Just got a call from a Peter Williams who said he worked for Microsoft and that they saw I was having computer problems and wanted me to go to my computer and give him my computer ID # b/c the problems I was having could allow hackers to get into my computer.  I asked him what if he was a hacker and he gave my a number that so I could match it to my computer number and know he wasn't a hacker.  Told him I would have to call him back later he gave me a number 315-294-0229 but the called ID my phone showed was 219-322-2695/  Then I checked her obviously I did the right thing.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions.  I got a call from an Indian sounding guy named "Nick Parker" though caller ID said "Troy".  ID said 240-600-0148.  Call back # was 315-294-0229. Said he was from Microsoft.  LOL!

I had the very same call. Same thick Indian accent - said his name is John. He had me look into my event viewer and look for any errors or warnings. He had me run a netstat in a command window and said that the IP: 127.0.0.1 proved that hackers have already hacked my pc. Said I could verify that he is from Microsoft by calling 315-294-0229, or by going to www.microsoftsafetyandsecurity.com. I noticed that my called ID said the call was from WA (Washinngton). He said that hackers had already hacked my computer and that they are using it already. He wanted to transfer the call to his technician who would remotely access my computer. I told him I would call the number 315-294-0229 to verify his identity, but instead I googled the number and found this forum. I too believe this is not legitimate. I will not be calling him back.

I checked the area code (315) and it is an area code in NY; even though when I got the scam call from 315-294-0229 my caller ID said is was from WA (Washington) state! Don't be fooled, this is a scam caller!

In addition to the other comments, my guy was named Matthew James. I almost asked him if he wa Welsh! I was on the phone with him for about 20 minutes. Definitely Indian accent. He gave me a we site maccare@live.co.us  - anyone know if it's kosher.

If he cold called you about supposed problems on your computer that he has no way of actually knowing about and gave you that website, chances are the site is not reliable. However, he could have given you that site to make him look legit when he has no affiliation with it. Better safe than sorry.

This guy got belligerent and told my husband that a woman didn't have the capability of understanding what he was trying to do...scammers!

No they didn't, stop posting LIES!!!

Reported shill!!

No it isn't shroll! Reported post!
