"Paul" called to tell me he was calling from Microsoft about a problem with my Windows computer. Paul had a very strong accent and not to stereotype did not sound  like a Paul.
Ha, ha, I said.

I received the call today from Firststep Tech.  He indicated he was calling about my computer; I told the him it was a scam and told him not to call back.  He asked "Who told you it was a scam..."  I just hung up.

I searched and there is a First Step Tech in Linkedin and a Facebook page but I have no idea if they are connected, probably not.

I'm sure these guys / gals are just trying to sound legit and picked a name to show up on the phone that would not cause alarm.

To bad it does not show up as "Overseas Scammer"

This guy bother me the busy morning....for unknown reason.
Talk sound very weird.

same exact thing 5 minutes ago and I told him the same thing and I hung up and reported it.

got this call several times today, 21 jan 2015.  was suspicious. i was going to be stupid and do as voice instructed me. then i listened to that little voice in my head telling me to halt operations.  did research and read about the scam.  individual called again and i told him to quit calling this number or i would report him to the proper authorities for harrassing phone calls.  told him toquit calling my f'ing number.

These people are a totally extreme annoyance!   We get calls from them EVERYDAY!  I tell them to stop calling here but that doesn't work.  You can't call them back with this number either because I am told it is not a working number!   This is harassment

These guys are morons.
Anyone who deals with them, are also morons.
I have a Mac, and we don't worry about [***] like "First Step Tech."
Assswipes.

These people from Firststep Tech are really annoying.  They have called our home 4 times in the last 3 days.  I told them the first time they called that we did not call for any help with our computer and hung up.  They called again later that evening.  They are very pushy.  This was a man with a very strong accent who I could barely even understand.  Hung up again on them.  Now they have called twice more, so when I see it is them I simply do not answer.  This is so annoying when you are trying to eat a meal in peace and these people are allowed to intrude upon you with no repercussions apparently.  Extremely aggravated with them for sure.  I googled their name and they claim to have been in business for a year now and a non-profit.  Yeah, right.  

Just got a call today at work from these scammers.  Asian man "Jason" claiming I had major issues with my Windows computer.  Told me they were going to "fix" it and was I "in front of the computer right now" to which I responded no and I wasn't able to talk to them.  I was given a phone number of 800-932-1962 to call back so they could walk me through "fixing" my computer.  I am not that stupid as to let some scammer at my computer much less waste my time at work talking to these idiots.  Caller ID was First Step Tech - do not pick up their call.  Made my company IT dept aware of it so they can let others know about this scam.

Indian sounding person called me claiming that my computer sent out error signal and he was calling to help me fix it.  I asked how he even got my phone number and he claimed it was linked to my IP address.  I told him that was impossible that I had that computer way before that phone number.  He said it just is.  I said well my computer is ancient and I am not going to fix it, I am just going to throw it away and get a new one.  He then hung up on me.  

computer scam

I got same call

computer scam

I hung up on First Step  Tech and they called back on all these. They all computer scam

Friday, 9:42 am. My cell rings, I pick it. "Hello?" I say. No response. "Hello??" I say again. Indian dude. "Hello, I call you from Windows Tech Support. We detected several errors reported from you Windows computer. Could you, please, sit in front of it and I will drive you through the issues?" He says. "How could it be possible if I never had a Windows computer?" I said. He hangs up on me.

I did have an issue with computer, fixed- days ago. Today a call saying frm windows my computer was compromised necessary for imidate  attention .I refused saying will call my tech to continue then call you back. No you must do it now. No again. I hung up. Called my friend,he said windows or Microsoft Doesn't not call clients.

caller saying my system window has been compromised and needs me to go on line to fix. I refused saying my tech friend will help me . No he doesn't. again I refused .he got mad and hung up.

Problem with my windows computer! I happened to be on my computer at the time. I just kept saying I can't hear you and that the call was going in and out! after several tries, He simply said he would call me back another time! I guess it wasn't as critical as he thought, since he hasn't called back yet! lol  I only hope no one falls for this crap, since these days you can Google anything which is how I came to this site!

Received a call from 530-287-8505 First Step Tech, terrible English final someone came on and said, They were receiving attack message from my computer. But my computer was turned off. When I asked for his number to call him back, he hung up.  

Got a [***] call from firststep tech with an Indian accent. He was trying to gain access to my computer, saying my computer was sending malware to the microsoft server and they had to fix my computer. I told him I had 3 computers (I don't)  and asked which one had the problem. Being retired I wanted to play along and waste his time. I asked him how he got my phone # since it is unlisted and he couldn't come up with a valid response. I think this is a job for Seal Team 6 !!!!!!!
