888-732-3037

Was told this was Windows Tech. Support by a person, Lisa, claiming to be calling to "fix" my computer from sending bad viruses to other people. Microsoft Tech Support said this is not one of their numbers. So glad I did not give Lisa access to my computer.

I too got the same call twice already by a guy with  heavy accent Indian probably Pakistani trying to access my computer said it was a Windows error that my computer was sending but decided to look up the number and it looks like it's all a scam

I received the same call from "Daisy" just a few minutes ago. The accent was so thick I had a very hard time understanding her.  

When she wanted to allow them access to my computer to fix these "errors" I questioned the authenticity of the call and she told me to I could call her back at 1-888-732-3037 ext 1012 so that I would know it was legitimate.  LOL

Like calling her back at the number she gives me would prove anything!  HaHa

Yep, seems to be going around.  Had the same call two days in a row.  Today it was from Ethan at x1010.  Heavy eastern accent, not sure is Indian or Pakistani.  Sure getting to be annoying though.  Said my IP was 192.168.1.100.  What kind of idiots are these people.

I got the same call.  Heavy Indian accent. He told me how to view my errors and warning from Microsoft and said that my computer will crash if I don't resolve this soon.  He was surprised that I didn't have problems already with it. He then wanted me to downloaded a remote access software so that he could gain control of my computer and fix the problem.  I knew at that point that it was scam.  Why would Microsoft waste their time calling millions of Windows users and spending a couple hours resolving their problems that they don't even know they have.  I asked him to send me an email with ways I can resolve the problem myself, and he said that he can only call and resolve over the phone.  I just got his number and hung up.  Smells Fishy!

Received a call a few minutes ago from RESTRICTED....knew from right then when I answered and it rang through to someone else it wasn't legit.  Very heavy accent, I had to ask him to repeat himself.  Asked him to tell me what I needed to be looking for...kept telling me to let him know when I had my computer running. Said my computer had been hacked and was sending messages.  I told him I needed to call him back as I didn't have my computer.  When I asked him if he knew my name and who he was calling he said Amaya.  Then right away said, oh my, I have the wrong number?  I am so so sorry.  My apologies.  Gave me 1-888-732-3037 as call back number.  
Overseas scammers trying to get money...untraceable. HANG UP

I too received a call from "Microsoft Windows Technical Support." The caller fit the same profile as the other calls allegedly from this 800 number. The caller claimed my computer was hacked. Since I had dealt with a company with the same call back number in the past, I trusted the caller to take over my machine and demonstrate the problem. He showed me the hacker's IP address--which turned out to be the looping IPA that appears on every Windows computer. Then he showed me a Trojan spyware--which turned out to be the ubiquitous CSRSS graphics module that Microsoft installs on every Windows computer. I did uninstall the team viewer after the call and searched my system for problems. I found a very bad Trojan, CVE 2013 3598, which likely was not on my machine before this call. Beware folks, these people may be up to more mischief than just running a scam.

Received a call with ID 888-888-8888 just now. Same experience as described above, with the guy telling me he was from Windows support and my computer had errors. Very heavy accent and said his call back was 888-732-3037 Ethan Hunt, x1010. Told me he needed to access my computer to fix and I said I'd call him back. I told him to take me off his list and he said if he did that he'd revoke my Windows license permanently! Do NOT allow access or even answer calls with blocked ID's like this. Total scam and maybe worse.

Same experience as posters above. I got a call from 888-888-8888, with the same dialogue as posted above. I told the guy my computer was at home so I couldn't access it, and he gave me a number to call back after I get home: 1-888-732-3037 x1012.

I won't be calling them back for sure. Thanks everyone for the heads up.
