530-287-8505

Got one here this morning as well.

i received a call from 530-287-8505 stating that I had windows errors from a couple of weeks ago and I had not had any ever. scam

Call from this no., ID, FirstStep Tech. , female asian voice, i hung up.

I got a call from this number saying my windows computer has some serious problems. It was a foreign language caller and the background noise was a call center of multiple foreign speakers all saying the same message in different ways. I told her to never call again and she said, " Hey lady behave yourself or I will blacklist your computer". Obviously a scam and not very sophisticated at that!

530-287-8505 called at 1211PM today.  I didn't answer, they left no message.  Caller ID said FIRSTSTEP TECH.  I see this is a new number for the Windows computer technician fixing your computer scam. Will file a complaint with the FTC.

FIRSTSTEP TECH
I answered, automated voice said "goodbye".

got a missed call on the landline this morning.    From what others have said DARN DARN DARN.  they always call when I am asleep.  I truly want to screw with these scammers.  Yes I know it is a false Microsoft call for viruses, Windows problems, spam, etc.  Yes I know NOT to got to any website they want me to but I KNOW I can have SOOOOO much fun.

First clue was getting a call from an obvious foreign voice, yelling hello. First told me I had problems with Windows, I run on MAC so for fun worked the call a while asking questions back. Finally when she said "what do you see?' I said "I see this is a scam"  and she screamed a bunch of foul expletives at me F*** you you stupid b**** and f*** your father too, which I found amusing since it's usually stated as your mother. Tried to call back to report to a supervisor (# shows up on caller ID) but could not connect, all lines busy....FIRSTSTEP TECH.That rep was a real peach......

Got a call from this number. It showed up as FIRSTSTEP TECH on Caller ID. The gentlemen on the other end had a very thick indian accent, but I was able to make out that he was claiming to be from Microsoft Tech Support saying my computer has a lot of problems and he was there to help me fix them. Being a computer tech myself, I knew it was a scam and hung up.

Get these calls numerous times weekly.  The man/women always say we have computer problems, etc.   Today we told him we didn't own a computer.  He became flustered and hung up.  Complete scammer.  

Received a call from them today - I asked what he wanted - responded "how are you". I asked again - same response. I told him where to go, in  very impolite language. Since I doubt he spoke English very well, he probably didn't understand me..

Same as others.  My computer is infected. Blah. Blah. Blah. Toyed with this [***] for about a half hour acting gullible and concerned about these alleged viruses and malware on my computer.  Throughout the call, I made various nonsensical off topic references to Sony Pictures, a breast pump, Indian food giving me the runs, and One Direction's new album.  He remained on task determined to help me fix my computer.  He finally figured out I was wasting his time, called me a dirty [***], and hung up on me.

They called me this morning to tell me my Windows computer was having issues, I run Linux I told him he was a sleazeball.

Got a call from these idiots at 9:35AM EST.  Stated that my computer was reporting errors.  I stated "Really, read me the MAC address that you're getting errors from" and and the foreign female scammer hung up.  Display read "Allegahny, California"

I got a call from this fake company today. They told me i had a laptop downloading malicious content. I askef him where he was calling from. He said Nevada, Los Angeles. Thats not even a place. I asked him which computer and he told it was my grandfathers. What he doesnt is my grandfather has been deceased. And his laptop was parted out and recycled. He got mad and hung up

Called us on the 20th at 5:57AM!  Told my IT husband that our windows computer has malware on it. We own Mac's. This is the fourth time someone with an Asian Indian accent has called with the same scam. We have strung them along, told them to put us on their "Do not call" list, told them our phone was being tapped by the NSA & just plain hung up on them! Caller ID shows FirstStep Tech. Wish something could be done to shut them down.

Firststep Tech: aka Microsoft report of my computer showing malware, virus, etc.  Indian voice.  Noting that his number has been used since before Christmas, I will inform the FTC of this number being used to scam individuals.  

I have received numerous calls from 530-287-8505 - Firststep Tech about errors on my computer.  they wanted me to log into my computer so they could identify the issues/error messages. funny thing is:  I don't own a home computer.  This is obviously a scam.

I got a call a half hour ago from that number an indian guy burly speaks English telling me that i have a malicious virus in my windows and he want to help me to remove it, i insisted to know the company name and how they knew that and he keeps saying open your computer ill help you to remove it, so i told him that im not gonna do that do you need anything else !!? And he hunged up the phone call..

same as the responses already listed...the asian "tech" cold barely speak English and they have called repeatedly...to fix my computer...easy to tell a scam like this...I ask questions and they hang up..
