- WJ, Ottawa, Ontario, CanadaOct 9/12 - about 5pm. Area code 613. Received similar call from same number: 510-943-3040.
The caller identified himself as a Windows technician. His company was contacting all Windows users to warn about malicious hacking signals and our computer was sending them. He was sincere, urgently wanted to help us, but spoke quickly with a heavy Indian/Pakistani accent and was hard to understand. Answers to "Who do you think you are calling?" "Why hasn't Microsoft or our ISP alerted us?" were confusing. His boss, a woman with same accent was just as sincere, forceful and confusing.
I said 'no thanks', hung up, and contacted our ISP, Rogers Cable. The technician confirmed it as a scam, that we were properly protected against attacks, and should report it to:

- anasazi| 1 replyI just got telephone through my cable Internet. These people just called me. I didn't answer, but my laptop immediately froze up. Now it won't come back on. Coincidence?
- notgiven replies to anasaziUnplug the switch/router for a minute or two, then plug it back in. Restart your computer. It should work now. Most problems can be fixed by rebooting.

- Ria replies to JRI am glad I don't have you for a relative. I have lots of relatives in Europe and they also have strange numbers that I don't always recognize. So, not answering is not always an option for everyone.
Ria - JessicaThis phone number called me at 11:30pm
- Caller: ???
- mickeyJust got a call a few minutes ago from them. Most of what he said was so hard to understand I kept making him repeat himself, the only thing I really got was that he made some comment about people with computers connected to the internet were reporting problems so I was pretty sure it was a scam and hung up. If I had really been thinking I would have told him I didn't have a computer in the first place and see what his response was to that. We are on the do not call list but it doesn't seem to make a difference anymore so I went in and blocked the number, I realize they can still call but will have to use a different number anyway.

- JayI received a call today from this number. The guy was of Asian accent. He told me something about qualifying for free grant money for education. When I told him I was already an enrolled student, he replied that it didn't matter, that all I had to do was answer a few questions. He asked if I was a U.S. citizen (to which I am), and then contradicted himself when he asked what college programs I would be interested in. I humored him and told him computer programming. Then he asked if I had a working internet. I saw where he was going. So then he asked me if I was enrolled in school. I told him once again I was. He said in order to get the grant money, I needed to just say "no," that I wasn't currently enrolled. At this point, I got disgusted and hung up on him. What idiots they are!

- G SethI also got the call...Indian accent...from Microsoft, want to "help" me with my problem. Now I have a lot of problems, but not one with my computer. I work for a large computer company with iron clad anti virus and work through a VPN. So this is definitely a scam. The minute I started asking questions about who he was, he hung up....be careful out there!
