Same Indian guy called and went thru whole spiel

Guy with accent (it wasn't Indian, but similar to that) claimed my computer had issues and he claimed he was the only windows service center able to fix it!  He even gave me the impression he might have been contacted by law enforcement about the "problems" with my computer.


The phone number was blocked but when I asked him for his phone number he did give it to me.

I was never able to figure out what he actually wanted to do to my computer (because I wasn't willing to turn it on for him).  When I asked him to tell me what my IP address was (since he knew so much about my computer) he put me on hold to ask a supervisor what my IP address was and then he ended up hanging up on me.

Got the same call this morning but would not tell me what company he was working for. Have had these calls before and they are a scam. do not give them any information

I believe it is a scam. My mother fell for it hook line and sinker. 129.00 later and no way to contact company. Later on I'm going over there to see if I can determine any damage or see what they accessed.

Idian sounding woman called my wife today. Told we were downloading malicious software and tried the pitch like it was an emergency. My wife was smart enough to figure it out. She told we rarely used the computer and it dumbfounded the woman.

Guy called today , say thing, I did get a name and phone number ryan holmes ( ya right) and they gave me this number as a call back, I did call back a woman answered , ask how could she help me, I hung up

I just received a call today fro a guy with an Indian accent....roger Smith...saying our computer has been hacked....now I am scared

Yes I had one also today.  Indian accent from New York.  I told him I didnt know if he was a bad guy or not so I would get my husband to call him back.  He gave me the name of Roger Smith and gave me the same phone number telling me it was their Customer Service.  Told me that he was from microsoft and they were getting error messages from my computer and my IP address was going to be black listed !!!!!!

My dad got it this morn. Luckily there are two CS majors in our family so dad didn't let them do anything, and said he would contact his family about it instead. He said it was three people with thick accents, a Roger, a Julian, and a woman who didn't give her name.

I received the same call from an Indian guy who said he was from Microsoft PC support telling me I had issues with my IP address and that they would black list it. Then they gave me this phone number 347-480-2300 to confirm, which I did call and sure enough they answered Microsoft PC support.  I could even hear several people in the background having various conversations about computer support issues. They said that I just needed to reactivate my Microsoft security software and they would walk me through the process.  Of course they wanted $398 to do so.  That's when I realized they were full of BullSh*t.  It's a SCAM.  Try calling that number and it is a non-working number.

Received a call from these scammers this morning. They told me that my PC was in the process of being hacked! They claimed that they had access to an international router and could "see" what was going on with my laptop. The guy had a VERY strong Indian accent. I told him no thank you I was not interested in their help. He became very persistent with me, I hung up on him. Please do not give this company your IP address. I plan on contacting the BBB on this group. Let's stop these scammers!

Received a call from 347-480-2300, a man with an Indian accent said he was Ryan Witson, (right) and our computer had been hacked.  He immediately said I should get to my computer and he would walk me through it.  I told him I wanted his number and I would verify his information.  He claimed to be with Microsoft Support.  Fortunately, I found this site and I know it is a scam.  Thank you for posting your  experiences.

This is absolutely a scam.  Do NOT give a person from this number any information-- hang up immediately.  Report any interaction with your local FBI office immediately.

We were scammed on May 10, 2013.

Got a call from someone with a foreign accent saying they were Microsoft .  They said Microsoft reported to them than my computer had hacking software and wanted me to run a programe "eventvwr"  I Did not and contacted Microsoft , then found out it was a scam.

Same thing happened to me claimed my computer was hacked. Indian accent told me he was from Microsoft support called pc support & his name was Max William. Funny thing was he couldn't even say his name correctly. Heard lots of talking in background. When I questioned him on what info he had on me he got very frustrated. I refused to give him my name & said he had the wrong info. Take me off your list. Big scam- very pushy!

Guy with Indian accent called and said my computer was being hacked into and he would help me fix it. Said he was from Microsoft He gave his name as Bicky at the above number. when I called the number twice while I had him on hold a guy name allen or alex answered and  got very nasty with me when I challenged him and said there is nothing wrong with your computer and
hung up. THIS IS A SCAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same story- though it was Mr. James Ford.  Same phone number.  He got upset when I said I would be phoning the police.  Seems I was not very grateful to someone who was just trying to help.
