THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ONLY FIFTEEN MINUTES AFTER THE  POST ABOVE WHAT CAN WE DO TO STOP THESE SCUMBAGS FROM TRYING TO STEAL PEOPLES INFO  ETC. AND SHUT THEM DOWN FOR GOOD .  I ALREADY AM ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST  THIS IS THIS A JOKE IN ITSELF DOES ANYONE EVER PROSECUTED UNDER THE STATUTE OF THE LAWS OF DO NOT CALL .  IT SEEMS LATELY I GET AT LEAST 8-10 CALLS A WEEK EVEN ON MY CELL PHONE.

LOL, just got a call from these people. thick indian accent (although he emphasized repeatedly that he was in NY) "I am calling today because we have had many complaints in the past few days from windows users that when they visit websites, download videos or check e-mails they have been downloading software unbeknownst to them and it installs itself onto their harddrive..." and blah blah blah... I said if this was a genuine alert from Microsoft that I will check microsoft's website for any alerts, and that I probably know more about computers than this guy (who sounded like he was reading a script, and was impossible to interrupt). I always feel bad for the people who were born yesterday and get taken really easily by these scams.

Everyone that is registered with the National DO NOT CALL registry, should file a complaint against this company.

3/31...didn't answer. 212 is a New York exchange, but who ever heard of 000?  I'm tired of scams.

Asking for ID info

Called wanting ID information

got a call from 212-000-3459 at apprx 5:05 PM EST

Man with thick indian/pakistani or some sort of turban wearing accent so i thought it was a telemarketer so i used a not so friendly voice, he said the call was in regards to my computer and i must be hard to understand cuz i had to repeat myself every time, he asked if i was the computer user in my house and i said sure then i asked what is this about and he just repeated it is about my computer, i replied 'so what is it then' in a somewhat raised voice and the [***] just hung up.

you mean its not for real???

you mean its not for real???

I got a call from this idiot too.  Before your computer screen went blank with the white lettering....did you follow any of his requests to hold keys down or enter codes?  Did he get access somehow to yours?

I also receive calls from this phone #. I don't answer calls I don't recognize, but I will return a call if they leave a message with a real phone # that I can check out. Unfortunately, calls like these usually wait till the answer machine/voice mail picks up to hang up. By the end of the day they have filled my answering machine with hang ups so that  friends and family, etc. can't leave me a message. It is sad that we can't even block them. They just change the numbers they call from.

Sae as others - an incoming call this afternoon (4-11-2012). Same "accent" - most like from India - using a BS 212 area code number that is not a real number (212-000-3459). As with others posting here, calling that number shows it is not legit - nor connected with any business, etc.

THIS IS A SCAM - do NOT fall for it.

Same crap! 12:13pm  4/12/2012

Got the same call a while ago. Same accent, etc. I happened to be on my computer, but not online. He/she told me what to do as far as the whole logo/letter R thing. I told him I did what he asked and he asked me what was on the screen. I told him "server not found." He went nuts, then put his "technical" person on the phone. HE said I called THEM. Nuh,uh.

Got a call from this number 5 times in one day.  Did not answer them.  How do you report them as nuisance calls?  anyone know?

Same story as above.  Thick Indian/Pakistani accent with kings English butchered.   Operating systems questions, etc.  4/13/2012  ~7:30 PM eastern.

Thats what he was doing . I followed up to the point he lead me to a page to download software so he could take over my pc. He then asked me how much i could afford, anything he said. Obvious scam. Dont let them download software to share pcs

Dont give out your area code either or email. This guy also had a thick acccent.

The big kicker was when i asked price, and he asked "how much can you afford". Huge red flag.

Also Microsoft will NEVER call you to help you fix  a problem you didnt know about.

The caller I got sounded Nigerian. There was a lot of background noise like a "boiler room" brokerage operation.              He said his company was One Stop Computer xxxxxxx. I told him I did  have good experience with diagnostic                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        software as it screwed up my Registry.
When I asked to have my number  removed from his calling list, the line went dead .

I just told the guy to shove it up his [***] and he asked me to repeat it slower so I did and then he really got rude and I once again told him where to put it. I would love to know how to reach people like this so that I can call them and have some fun.
