914-290-4992

called about a problem with my PC at home

Called about malware affecting my computer.  Said he was Matt Williams from Microsoft, but his accent made it difficult to understand him.  When he requested that I access a file on my computer by pressing Windows R, I told him I could not do it at this time and would call him back.

Max called said there was a problem with my computer and he worked for "windows."  The ID on the phone just stated "out of area."

Please don't give anyone access to your PC, unless you are 100% sure of who they are. You just gave that person Total access to any and all information on your computer. If you have ever bought anything with a credit or paypal they can now get all personal info. about you. They now have the ability to use your computer as If they were you.... I am not sure what you can do to block them but please look on windows official site and see how to shut them down. God Bless and Good luck. I pray they do not get any info. that can harm you.

I got a call from that # 914-290-4992  it came up on my caller ID as (0). I couldn't understand the guy so I told him to give me his # and I would call back. Then I did a reverse look up  on the # and it came from White Plains, NY. It was a cell phone using voip, which they were probably not even in this country. Beware all this is a scam to gain access to your PC. Hang up and report them, Please.

I received a call from the phone number I.D. 253-802-0308 from a Matt Williams.  He said he was calling from Windows.  I asked if he was from Microsoft, he said no one was calling mr from Microsoft, he was calling from Windows.  He stated there was problem with my computer, that information and signals from my IP address were sending information to them.  He stated that my computer was in very serious danger.  He also offered to help me with the issue and kept expressing the seriousness of the issue. When I asked what type of signals/information he would not say.  I told him I needed to call him back and he then gave the 914-290-4992 number asking me if I was sure I would be calling him back.  I said Yes, however knew this wasn't right and looked up the number.  I had trouble understanding him as his accent was heavy and sounded from the middle East.  After putting his number in Google I found this site to report the Scam. I am so glad I didn't call him back.  He did however call me again later and I didn't answer the phone and he didn't leave a message.  Have not heard from him again.

This is definitely as SCAM as you thought. Microsoft has information on their website about scams like this.

Never allow anyone that you do not know remote access to your computer.  At best they will charge you a lot of money for worthless "protection" and at worst they will install malware on your computer to steal your logins, passwords, credit card numbers and any other personal information that may be there.

Got a call from "Peter Williams" at this number who said he was with "Windows". Same story about messages from my computer & he could fix the problem.

I gave him no info about me or my computer & strongly encourage no contact with these people.

I got a call from Fraudster 253-290-4992 .

I have received 3 calls from 253-802-0308 and 914-290-4992. I usually don't answer but was busy and didn't check caller id. It was Terry Tyson saying he worked for windows and my computer was generating problems. I promptly told him he was not getting access to my computer and that I was calling the police to report his scam. Needless to say, he hung up.

I got a call from the number 253 802 0308  and a man with a foreign accent said he was calling from Windows support and told me that I had tried to download something and I needed to click on the windows flag and press R at the same time.  He told me to open RUN and type in eventwr or something .  I asked him for his number and he gave me the 914-290-4002 number ans said he was calling from New York.
