901-466-7722

Called us at 6:14 AM and then mumbled something unintelligible and hung up.

Received several calls from these annoying people telling me my computer is hacked.

Several calls yesterday and again this morning from people with Indian accents claiming to be from Microsoft or Windows telling us our computer is hacked and we need them to fix it. My caller ID shows Featherstone J, and superpages.com lists the number under Jerry H Featherstone, 1315 Hebron Dr Stanton, TN, 38069

Just got a call from this number. Caller ID said Somerville, TN. Guy with Indian accent saying he was from Microsoft Windows and my computer had a vurus. I knew it was a scam and asked if I could call him back to see what # I would get. He asked several times if he could call me back and each time I said I would call him and he hung up. Watch out. They want your credit card info.

Just reported this to our local attorney general's office. Was told the scammers likely "spoofed" the number so it isn't really who the caller id says it is. Also, they're likely trying to access our computer so they can lock it and charge us to unlock it. Advised ignoring the call altogether is the best way to make it stop. AG suggested filing a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center which is affiliated with the FBI. www.ic3.gov.

5 times this week telling me my computer has been hacked I keep telling them to take me off the list.

Everyday this week pretending to be a windows or Microsoft agent looking to gain info on our computer.

Report to IC3.gov, definite scammers of Pakistani / Indian origin. They will harass you and call you late in the evening vindictively if you call their bluff.

received 4 calls yesterday from this guy "heavy accent" told him "I know this is a scam, put my number on do not call". So when he called again this morning @ 0645, I let him run his mouth about how to type in instructions, I asked him, " do you need to gain access to my 'puter to fix the problem?" He then said YES, Well I informed he must be pretty stupid to keep calling me and I know it's a SCAM! he proceeded to curse me out and I returned the favor! we went on for about 30 seconds and then I hung up, He calls me back up! I p/u and hang up and left the phone off the hook. its been 20 min, so hopefully he won't call back......

Received several calls from this number with the same m.o.  Problem with windows, blah, blah, blah. I don't even use a windows operating system.  Anyway, they keep calling.  Very annoying.

I just received a call with the same mo as  previously mentioned.  When I asked for  a call back # I was given the actual customer service # for Microsoft customer support....however the number that he called me from was this 901 number. He was impatient with my questioning him.

Called at 11:04 PM! I never answer these idiots.

someone called from this number claiming my computer had been hacked and they new the name of my computer and serial number. I imediately ran my two virus softwares and nothing came up.

Most definitely a SCAM! So do not give them any info. They will call all day. How do these people sleep? But you can tell them you are filing charges with your State Attorney General after seeing them in a story last night about their companies scamming Americans. I cant wait to see them Gitmo'd.

Avoid tech support phone scams
Cybercriminals don't just send fraudulent email messages and set up fake websites. They might also call you on the telephone and claim to be from Microsoft. They might offer to help solve your computer problems or sell you a software license. Once they have access to your computer, they can do the following:

◾Trick you into installing malicious software that could capture sensitive data, such as online banking user names and passwords. They might also then charge you to remove this software.
◾Convince you to visit legitimate websites (like www.ammyy.com) to download software that will allow them to take control of your computer remotely and adjust settings to leave your computer vulnerable.
◾Request credit card information so they can bill you for phony services.
◾Direct you to fraudulent websites and ask you to enter credit card and other personal or financial information there.
Neither Microsoft nor our partners make unsolicited phone calls (also known as cold calls) to charge you for computer security or software fixes.
Telephone tech support scams: What you need to know
Cybercriminals often use publicly available phone directories, so they might know your name and other personal information when they call you. They might even guess what operating system you're using.

Once they've gained your trust, they might ask for your user name and password or ask you to go to a legitimate website (such as www.ammyy.com) to install software that will let them access your computer to fix it. Once you do this, your computer and your personal information are vulnerable.

Do not trust unsolicited calls. Do not provide any personal information.

Here are some of the organizations that cybercriminals claim to be from:

they kept telling me that my computer had been hacked. I asked to speak to a supervisor because they keep calling me at 10:30 at night. She hung up on me.

Have received10 calls from this number. Before 7 am and after 11pm.  When I told this jerk I was going to report him to the state attorney general's office he if he called again he used vulgar language. I am calling the state first thing tomorrow.  This is harassment !

Calls originate in India and Pakistan.  They are spoofing local numbers.  Ignore and block the calls.

They will continue calling.  Invest in a call blocker.  Not perfect but it can help.
