210-888-0671

I got this phone call today, and sadly I have given them my credit card information. But now i have close my credit card and would get a new one in 10 days. Does anyone know what will happen if your computer have been remoted? that's the thing i am worried right now. (I have used another application to clean my computer and found no virus....and i am assuming my computer is fine now....i hope.)

If I was you I would shut down my computer and take it to a local computer-repair shop.  Tell them what happened and have them clean out whatever the scammer left behind.  The scammers may have installed stuff your anti-virus won't find.

I tried to e-mail your company Peter but the letter came back to me. Please tell me what you did to my computer. I still have a bunch of "failures" that you had me freaked out about.Oh, if you have something to say, Please have the courage and courtesy to say it in english! Thanks.

A friend got this call and got scammed into getting them to install Advanced Sytem Removal, Optimizer, etc.  Also the Teamviewer.  I disconnected the internet and removed all these items, turned off the system recovery.  I have a disk burned every night on her computer to back this up.  Cleaned up the registry from anything installed that day and rebooted the computer.  After the reboot I did a search for new files, and found 2 trojans that had been installed during the time of that install.  Install AVAST antivrus and MalwareBytes ran them both and did a boot time scan.  If their software was what they claimed it to be, the best that was on the market then why didn't it find the Trojans that were on the computer that they put there?  Grab AVAST and do a boot time scan anyone that was duped into giving them access to your computer.  www.avast.com is a decent free antivirus that will clean them up.

Good luck and microsoft will never call you unless you call them first.  Call them and ask.  Don't trust these plants that are posting here, get it from the source.

Same thing happened here. My son answered the phone and could tell it was an autodialer because of the pause beforehand. The first time they hung up right away, then called right back. Said they were from Microsoft. The East Asian person on the other end asked for my husband and my son got the impression that he had called tech support from his location which was not at home at the time. When I took over the call to say he was out of the country I asked for a number where he could call them back and the number she gave me was 210-888-0671. But as she was giving it to me I could hear someone say "don't give out that number ... this one" and the call ended rather abruptly.

This ticks me off that scam artists can get away with crap like this. There must be something we can do.

Hey, "Shaun Brown"!
How about you learn English first before posing as Microsoft tech support? And you can get your Microsoft Certification online - nothing to do with Microsoft support.

These scammers just tried to get my father as well. Finally, years of telling him to be careful have paid off. He told the person "Angel Smit" that he we need to talk to his son before he went any further. Dad called me, I punched in this phone number and what do you know...a SCAM.

I received a call late last night from an unknown number....it hung up within 2 seconds after I answered.  For some reason, I told my wife, "great, now they know they got a active line and we will get spam calls".  

Let it be know today at 2.30 pm I got a call from New York 212-777-3456.  A guy with a strong accent claimed to be a Microsoft tech and was calling me because they received error reports from my computer.

He said he will help me correct the problem.  I recorded his conversation because I knew he was immediately full of S*#T.  Non the less I amused him and followed his directions up to a certain point.  Here is what he wanted me to do:

Go to start menu, right click on my computer,  manage, system tools, event viewer, log summary.  There he asked me if there were any errors.  There were however, I know this is normal.

He then asked me to go into MSCONFIG through run menu, services and he stated all Microsoft windows should be running.  (Some of mine were not and I didn't elaborate what was running and not running).

He then stated he can eliminate all errors and fix my computer and he began telling me my computer may have been hijacked by a hacker and this is why I am having problems with my computer that he will fix for me.

He gave me a web site (www.ammyy.com) that I can go to so he then log onto my computer and fix my issues.  At this point I began asking him questions about who he is and his company.  He was annoyed but answered, I guess he though he had me!

This is the info I got from him:

Name: Frankie Ramsey
Operator # 0259
He stated he was a Microsoft Tech but do not work for Microsoft.  Microsoft sends this company error reports to handle.  
Company Name: Hawk Tech live (googled but nothing found)
I asked where he is calling from, his reply was Texas but from a NY number!!!

He kept interrupting me during the 3rd degree questioning and asked me if I know what hackers do and that he will install 3 programs onto my pc to fix the problems I apparently was having (by the way I was having no problems - I use a mac) lol.

I told him before I go any further that I would like to investigate everything he told me and asked me to do so I could be more comfortable and know what was being done.  He said sure and gave me 210-888-0671 number to reach him to continue anytime.  Im not planning on calling back!

Anything we can do with this number and Bogus info?  I am from BC, Canada.

Cheers

was waiting for call-back from a Shaw technician and when the phone rang, i answered and being a pen-
sionere did not realize that it was someone else as the man started talking about my needing 3 new
"parts' ( i can't remember right now what they are called), and informed me it would be a cost of $200.00
(two  hundred dollars) and kept trying to get me to get a Mastercard, Visa  (or the likes) or asked me if
i knew anyone that has one that would 'help me out'. Being a total fool and too trusting, i told 'him' that
i would have the money on Aug.29-2011 and not having a charge card would have to pay it some other
way; the point of this COMPLAINT being that when i realized the BIG MISTAKE i had made even talk-
ing to ANYONE about personal matters like that it had me "fired up" as i totally dislike(to put it lightly)
people '"playing games!"with me. I suggest you have one 'good, strong' talk with Jeffrey Connor at your
San Antonio, Texas office as to me, and for me, it was no g.d.joke--not one bit

We were contacted by these jokers today. The person on the line claiming that they were working for Microsoft and we had to give them access to our computer in order to remove viruses from it.

They gave us the 210-888-0671 number as a way to call them back.

These guys are not legitimate, and you should refuse to speak with them. Microsoft DOES NOT monitor your computer for viruses, nor does your internet service provider. Additionally, neither would give out your contact information to a third party, as that would violate most privacy policies.

These are crooks who are using a cold calling list to attempt to SCAM you. If you receive one of these phone calls and are afraid your computer does have viruses, don't do anything they ask of you! Instead, contact the dealer from whom you purchased your PC, or have a tech-savvy relative or friend look at it for you.

Same.  I have been called by an Indian sounding guy at least 6 or 7 times over the past 2 weeks.  This scam has been reported in our local paper.  First few times I hung up, then I quizzed them on the fact that it was a scam and they hung up, and a few minutes ago I said I was busy and could I call them back.  The guy said he was called David Harper, on 210-888-0671.  I phoned RCMP with the info and they have given me the Phonebusters number to report it to:  1-888-495-8501.

They never give up. "I have a virus in my PC that needs to be removed". So my response is: "Sir,tell me who my Internet Provider is and also my current IP address is at this very moment". He pauses in his response,then says "one moment". The moment lasts for just about a minuite,then the line "mysteriously" became disconnected.
This was the third call from an Indian guy. I have a Mac,so it didn't take me 1 second to figure out that what he was going to try to do,and charge me for it

Oh Really! [***]! Why have you guys called me 4 times,and you don't even know what computer I have,and the OS system I am running.Do you just assume all people use Windows? I don't,for the reason that is what you are trying to do to people who do use Windows!
I feel a little safer with a Mac because of all the built in features for security.The only Malware so far that has come out is MAC DEFENDER,but it only makes the Mac looks like it is loaded with virus's when it really is not.A user who does not know,sends money to people like you to have it "removed".
Very few have fallen for this scam,as the Mac community gets the word out right away. CNET for one and MacIntouch for another.

DO NOT, DO NOT give these scammers remote access to your computer!
They will rip you off and install viruses to STEAL any financial info you have stored.
Then you'll have your computer wiped and then you'll have to start all over again.
A headache no one needs.

Hi..just got the call - again - man with an East Indian accent telling me he was from Microsoft and that my computer has been alerted as having a virus and he called to help me fix the problem.  The phone number given was 210-888-0671.  I got very suspect and said I would call him back - entered the number into Google and found this string of reports and others.  It had scam written all over it!

Received a call. Give me a spiel about computer viruses. Asked for his number and told him I would call him back.  Did not understand him and did not want to waste my time.

I received a call from Angel Smith.  She tried to scare me that my computer was infected and she did indicate that she was from Microsoft in Texus.  I could hear the call centre with other agents trying to scam other victims.  She led me to a website called http://www.ammyy.com/en/  .  I think she thought i was going to give her access to my PC or my credit card.  The call back number was 210-888-0671.   Angel turned out to be a witch in disguise.   She caused me to miss the rinse on my laundry.

Hi. My Mom got the same call and got the number from them but told them that her son (me) would have to deal with them as I handle all her computer service. I explained to Mom that Microsoft never calls you. Your ISP may contact you if they notice a lot of spam emails being sent from your ip address. I told Mom  next time that they call to hang up.
Bye.

It is Nov.4 and I am in Calgary, Alberta. My wife got home from work today and said she got a call at her employer's home from the same guy that called me. He said he was from Microsoft yadayada. These guys are still at it. They must be making a fortune. If they get a small fraction of the people they phone all over N America they make a killing. I have had several calls from "peter" threatening me to pay him "or else". Can't anyone stop them?

Received phone call from this number my young son answered and took their word for it and let then into our computer. He started yelling hurry up you're not giong fast enough and thats when my husband heard what was going on and he asked for their phone number and told them he would call them back. I googled the number and came upon your website.
