4028759195

got the same call today, said they were from windows and I needed to turn on my computer so they could fix it that it  was fixing to crash because of downloaded viruses. They need to be stopped

I got a phone call today from this number.  Caller ID said it was NelNet.  It is the only reason I picked it up because I used to have a student loan through Nelnet.  A very foreign woman was speaking very slowly to me saying she was from Microsoft and blah blah blah.. I understood malicious software and that was it.  I kept saying, "I'm sorry I don't understand you."  So she started talking louder and slower.. lol  I hung up.  I wonder how many times this works?

he keeps calling my phone saying he's with a computer company asking weird question, then hangs up calls back again and dead air. stop calling me!!

Same exact thing happened to me that happened to Merry Boberry!  How did they get my number and how do I get them to stop!?!?

These people called me today and said they were from microsoft and told me my computer was hacked and they could help me fix it if I turned it on, I said no and hung up on them.

I had this Middle easter calling at home, very stupid to ask for remote access. He said that my system was infected with malware. He call from 14028759195 claiming is from Microsoft...

I received a call from a foreign man who was using the number he has called my cell phone numerous of times then proceeded to call my house phone. Same guy. Every time I tell him to stop calling tht I know it's a scam and he tells me he's sorry I feel that way but that I'm wrong. I told him if he doesn't stop I will sue for harassment. He hangs up. Don't answer these calls. It is a scam. My friend who is an IT guy knows its a scam since I had him answer one of the calls I received. How they got ahold of my house line I have no clue but it's got to stop.

Bogus call asking me to go online and type in their URL so they could fix a malware on my system.  Claimed they were the authorized software protection company working with Microsoft.  Vere strong accent and considerable background noise prevented me from getting full info but it sounded like he said Softtech.  When I asked him to spell it out, he ignored me.  He kept insisting that I should just go to the website and he would help me with my problem.

Scammers. Rajiv ("Jeff") calling "from Windows" to let me know they are receiving error messages from my (Apple) computer. Boy did he pick the wrong day to give me an opportunity to tear somebody a new one.

For future reference, Indian men really, really hate it when you say anything to imply that they are gay, so if you want to get a little payback...

I too had a call today from this man. Could hardly understand him, I told him I wasn't interested and he kept talking about protecting my computer! I asked him where he got my number,several times (was a cell number) finally he hung up, between me saying "NOT INTERESTED" and "WHERE DID YOU GET MY NUMBER?".

Actually I did recently get a scam e-mail...from (it said) Kohl's store offering a $25 gift certificate if I filled out a survey. After I went through endless questions, unrelated to shopping, I quit and called Kohl's! They said it wasn't from them, that it was a scam using their name. I am on Kohl's regular mailing list, otherwise, I would have been more cautious

Also I began getting multiple calls about enrolling in universities and offering medical supplies asking about information to call my doctors! I regret putting any information out without checking with Kohl's first!

Did anyone else being harassed by this "eastern sounding man" have such scam survey they fell for?

Wonder if anybody played along and wrote down the URL so maybe it could be shut down, they probably would just change it, anyway.

Has anybody actually been harmed by virus or identity theft so far? As long as they have been doing this, I wouldn't be surprised.

I just got a call from phone # 402-875-9195, my called ID said it was NelNet. This guy "James" said my computer was sending messages to Microsoft saying there was errors and malicious viruses on my computer that they needed to fix. When he took me to a webpage where it said "remote access", I told him if he thought I was giving him remote access to my computer, he was crazy!!! The funny thing is, this company JUST called my parents' home number with the same scam. That time it was a lady, and when I told her I knew she was trying to scam us, she said "What do you mean a scam"?? Then hung up on me. We were almost taken by these scammers a couple of months ago, and I am now very vigilant in protecting myself and my friends and family from these people. Can't we stop these people??? Heck, I'll do anything to help stop this stuff!!!

First call from Gay Hadji today...and he left a message containing nothing but static.  What a loser.

got the call today in Laval, spoke with two guys... the first one (middle eastern accent) got pissed when I started asking questions, passed me on to a "supervisor" (asian accent)... sounded like they were sitting in the middle of the road... same bs about a high grade infection only they could fix, they had received error messages from my windows 7, which I don't use... asked me to google "service2pc", which I did not... beware, they are still roaming!  hang up much sooner then I did... 5 min I will never get back!

Just received a call from (402) 875-9195.  The number showed up on caller ID as:  NELNET.  The man on the line claimed that my computer was sending messages to his company and that he worked for MicroSoft.  He said that the Windows 7 software was designed to provide the computer identification number and my home number when the computer was downloading malware.  He repeated questions over and over in an effort to get me to say "yes" or "ok" or some other word or phrase that would indicate approval or authorization to remote into my computer.  When I explained that I needed to check in with my employer before authorizing any remote access to my computer he hung up.

Obviously, this is a scam.  And, remember to be very careful when someone is trying to get you to say the word "yes" or "ok" or "go ahead".  These are common con artist techniques.  ALWAYS remember to answer their questions with a question, instead.  Instead -- For example:  Is this (your name)?  Respond:  Why do you ask?  or Who is calling, please?  Or, if they ask:  Can you hear me?  Respond:  Can YOU hear me?  or What is wrong with YOUR phone?

Received a call from these guys a few minutes ago. I live in Montreal. Strangely, the last guy who posted  a message is from Laval which is near my location. They are probably targeting different locations every time.

Same story for me. A guy with an accent, "Alex Brown", called and said he was from Microsoft. There was a lot of background noise. He transferred me to another guy, "Johnson", who told me to type eventvwr (which opens the event viewer application). He told me to open Windows logs then click on Applications. He told me that all the errors and warnings in Applications and system were malwares and viruses. This is were I knew it was total BS. I still continued to talk to him just to see how far he'll go (no school today, I had time to lose). Then he asked me what browser I was using. He told me to open a webpage, go on Google and type service2pc. Oh, and he was always saying type C for Charlie, S for Sam, R for Rogers, etc. He asked me to go on the first website, service2pc.weebly.com. He told me to go to the bottom of the page and  click on the Windows logo. I ran the application because I have 4 antiviruses and I tested viruses on my PC. A program named ammyy opened. It's the kind of program which lets another user take control of your PC  opened. He asked for my ID but I denied. Clearly a scam.

Unlike some other people, the 2 guys were polite and when I told "Johnson" I couldn't trust him, he said "it's ok, thanks anyways" and hung up.

This is the second time now, last week they were from microsoft , this week i again answered and asked them their full name, their return number, their emp id number etc, and they also said this week they are from microsoft

Got one call from them on 11/22/13.  No message.

Caller is obviously from India or Pakistan - cold calling  & trying to scare the gullible into giving control of the computer.  There is no way they can tie your computer's IP address to an individual phone number.  It only shows the city or general location of the computer.  So they are robo dialing numbers.  It is clearly a scam, especially if you are running any robust anti-virus software.

Received a call from a representative supposedly from Microsoft.  The caller id comes up as "Nelnet" with this number 402-875-9195.  There was a click then you can hear a lot of talking in the background (i.e. call center).A man with a heavy Indian accent proceeds to inform me that they have received reports that something is wrong with my computer.  I immediately told him I know that this is a scam and it's all over the internet.  He kept telling me, no this is not a scam.  He wanted to argue with me about this not being a scam, ha, ha!  If I had the time I would have screwed around with him.  I just told him he was an idiot and everyone knows about this.  We get at least one call a week from "Microsoft systems" concerning a computer problem.  It's amazing that these people can keep calling us from different numbers each week.  Consumers beware of these calls.  Thank goodness for forums like this where we can make others aware of the scams!
