This seems to be a scam with an rude Indian guy

This number called me several times...I don't answer "Name Not Found" on caller ID, leaves no message.:

This Indian man keeps calling me saying that I paid for a computer tec service, which I did, and he said that the business went out of business, which it did not, and he wants to refund me my money. Ha Ha Ha. I told him to mail me a check. He said that he had to credit my credit card. LOL LOL. I told him, over and over again that if he could not send me a check to forget it. He just will not stop calling my cell.  I contacted my tech service and they can't do anything about it.  I cannot block the number because I use an older phone, flip, and it will not allow be to block numbers and he uses different phone numbers.  When I call the number back a recording comes on that says it has been disconnected.

They Left No Messages.

yeah, unfortunately im an idiot and this indian guy named sam took me for $250 without me even knowing it. he said he was working on my computer..... yeah

Since the scammers accessed the computer, they probably did one or more of the following:
• Disabled the anti-virus software
• Added nasty malware to the computer
• Copied the Contact List (so they can spam/email your soon-to-be ex-friends)
• Copied any financial data or passwords they could find
• Compromised your ID
• "Zombied" the computer, so it would respond to THEIR commands sent via internet
• Deleted some important files
• Asked for money to repair the damage they caused

What can you do immediately after such an attack?
1.  Pull the cables on the computer, or otherwise disable it, so it cannot access the internet.
2.  Change ALL  passwords stored on the computer.
3.  Run FULL malware scans on the computer, in "SAFE" mode!
4.  Change the passwords again, particularly if the malware scans showed anything.
5.  Inform your bank and credit card companies.
6.  Sign up for credit monitoring, and check the status frequently
7.  You may have to bring the computer to a local repair shop, and tell them the story.
8.  Tell friends what happened, so they can be aware of strange emails from you.
9.  Connect to the internet only AFTER all the above have been done.
10.  Change the passwords on all online accounts.  Even better - access a "safe", uninfected  computer, and chance your online account passwords RIGHT NOW.

NOTE:
If your computer set a "Restore Point" while it was infected, any "System Restore" you make will re-infect your computer.  Suggest you delete any potentially infected restore points and avoid setting such restore points until after your computer has been thoroughly cleaned!

You fell for one scam, and might be susceptible to others mentioned on this site:

Read that info to educate and help protect yourself!

Honest computer companies do NOT cold-call people, or cause popups from websites to tell them their computers need fixing!

Some scammers even have websites, and falsely advertise they are associated with popular software packages or computer companies; so do NOT believe a "we will fix your computer remotely" site, and allow them access to your computer!

I also get this call with the same "someone owes you money from closed business."  Well the business I hired online I allowed to access my computer and they changed all my email passwords, got into my bank accounts and wired money Thailand, tried to get Paypal for $690.  If a payment goes for $700 in Paypal, there is additional paperwork.  This "business" has given my number out to many people and I get calls daily from all over but this one especially.  The business that stole my money is Pairsys.  They are also on Facebook and brag about the money they get.  I didn't lose any money since my bank covered everything and fortunately I happened to get into Paypal and stopped that payment.  Don't trust anyone online!!!

Did the same to me but he got into my bank act.almost got all my money.If it wasn't for western union he would have.They need to do something about him I have his address.

let me have his address. he scammed my mother

He scammed me too. Totally messed up my office computer. I did give my credit card number and cvv #, when he wanted driver license # I realized it was a scam. I hung up on him and went to the bank and canceled the card. Then spent the next day with the REAL tech Co fixing the computer. Thank you Kangaroo Techies.

A representative of Techkangaroos  fraudulently withdrew $2100 from my account after convincing me to give him my debit card information to refund $99 for dispute over software purchased online many months ago. The software did not work so I complained and received this call months latter. He identified himself as Sam Spencer, employee ID SSP1992 and had an Indian accent.
The withdrawls show up as going to Western Union in Denver, CO. I disputed the charges with my bank as fraud but no resolution yet.

he constantly keeps calling me

Theys guys are disturbing my peace and wen I told him to stop calling me they tell me [***] you , laughing and hang up two times a day they call me there disterbing me peace I wish to find out were they are and send them a letter from my lawyer I am over the top now it been over a year and half

This "India" company says they have a contract to provide computer repair & virus removal. He says they went out of business, but keep calling me. They want my bank account info to refund my account. I have had it with them. If I can get enough info I will take some serious legal action.

I don't pick up these numbers with different area codes if I don't recognize the caller, and this number just called today.  However, I got the same scam from a local number about refunding my computer tech money if I furnish the financial info.  Blocking the number doesn't help b/c they switch numbers constantly.  I made the mistake of making some disparaging remarks about him, his mother, and his manhood--now he calls almost daily several times a day even though I never pick up.  Surely his supervisors can see he's not being very productive!

That was good thinking you asked to send you a check for the refund. I wish I had done the same thing.  I fell for their scam. They had taken more than $4000.00 from me before I realized it was a scam. They are still trying to call my cell phone now but I'm just ignoring it. Be aware that they keep changing their numbers but they are the same scammers.

I got the same call. He said I got service plan with them protecting my windows system. The only problem is that I have been using Mac for years! Then he said they fix all kinds of computers....SCAN!

home.  cid "california."  no vm.

I paid 279.99 with  my credit card  this was in November 2015 and now I am being told by "Microsoft" that I have a virus in my PC' I called the credit card company  and they are starting a dispute with this other company.

That is because the people you paid $279.99 to put it there to spy on you gather all your information and keystrokes, etc.  Microsoft does not call people.  You call them.  Take your computer to a brick and mortar computer shop in your are and have them clean it.  And take the time to read Slim's post as well.
