800-433-5778

It is "Geek Squad" calling you. Their number is 1-800-GEEK-SQUAD

no message

Centralized number for Geek Squad.  They will probably refer you to your local Best Buy store.

It is the Geek Squad recording, letting you know an item you left for repairs is ready.

Geek Squad calling confirming appointment to exorcise demons from my computor.

Whoever it is, they must be using random dialing, because they called my brand-new Tracfone, which had never been used to contact any company.

If it's the Geek Squad why don't they have that or at least Best Buy for a caller ID.  We might be more inclined to answer particularly if we've had them work on our computer recently.  Repeated callbacks to this number over a 45 minute period got nothing but a busy signal.

Got a call from this number recently. I don't shop at Best Buy, and I'd never use Geek Squad! I think it's the same tele-scammer that calls me at least once everyday (Monday - Friday), usually around the same time, but with a different number each day. I don't answer, and they never leave a message. My policy is that I don't answer the phone unless it's from someone I know. Plus, I won't hear the ringer anyway ... I have the normal ringtone set to a very silent ringtone. Only friends, family and contacts have regular ringtones, so I'll hear when they call and I'll answer the phone for them. Oh, and I have any unknown numbers set to "automatic reject" so they won't even get a chance to ring my phone! I used to really hate these tele-scammers, but now I get a little satisfaction knowing I've wasted some of their time! Maybe if more people do like I do, the tele-scammers will only be wasting the time and resources of the telephone service providers, and then, maybe the service providers will take some action against them. One can hope....

What is this man some kind of feeking buy on line store

Best Buy Geek Squad letting me know my iPad is ready for pickup.

They will closed these crooks down- Federal Verifications and GSA Applications and their 300 names.

As of 11/25/14 so it's current.
GREENVILLE, S.C. —When Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi charged a company near Tampa with violating the state's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, WYFF News 4 Investigates found a Greenville connection to the lawsuit.
The injunction, filed Nov. 5, against Federal Verification Co., Inc. of Oldsmar, Florida, also names GSA Greenville and GSA South Carolina as part of the same operation.
According to the lawsuit, Federal Verification, which operates "under the name of GSA Applications and numerous other fictitious or other names," misled customers across the country "as to the likelihood of successfully landing a government contract."
"This company is doing a shell game," a former employee of the Greenville office told WYFF News 4 Investigates on the condition his name is not mentioned and his face isn't shown.
The company is accused of collecting advance fees of $5,000 to $8,000 dollars, while "assuring the business it qualifies for a five to 20 year GSA contract award." The lawsuit  also says salespersons "were assigned various aliases and business names to use when selling their services.
The former employee claims calls from the Pelham Road office appeared to be coming from cities across the country to make the company seem bigger.
"Phoenix, Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, there was Chicago, Illinois, Atlanta, Georgia, Des Moines, Iowa, Washington, D.C. It kind of went on and on," he said. "They gave me an email out of corporate from Florida with a list of fake company names. They wanted me to pick one. Most of them were very bad names. I picked the best one that I thought, and I picked the location, which was Atlanta."
He said the job paid good money and claimed some salespersons made several thousand dollars per week, often by telling businesses they qualified for federal contract, when they did not.
"(They sold) companies that weren't a fit or didn't meet the criteria. Anything to get the sale, they would do," he said.
WYFF News 4 Investigates tried repeatedly to contract the Pelham Road office for comment. John Warren is listed in a press release issued by the company as the president of Contract Award Services, one of the companies named in the Florida Attorney General's lawsuit.
In a 2013 court filing, Warren is listed as National Sales Director for GSA Applications, another company named in the injunction.
When phone calls and emails were not returned, WYFF News 4's Tim Waller went to the office at 7003 Pelham Road and approach Warren on the sidewalk outside.
"You guys are on private property," Warren said. "You need to leave, gentlemen. This is GPE. You have the wrong company."
"Can we talk to you?" Waller asked.
"No. Please leave," Warren said.
GPE is a new company that is not listed in the Florida lawsuit. The former employee said GPE stands for GSA Program Experts. He showed  us online reviews that say GPE is also a government contract company. One review thanked "John Warren and his team" for helping them secure a contract.

I was having trouble with my computer something about a virus on it and I called and they repaired it but now there is a blue box that appears on my screen and it says every keystroke that I make

Some joker with an India accent claiming to be from Windows. Now the spammers are using 800 number apparently.

This apparently isn't the Geek Squad.  I just got a call (heavy accent) explaining that my computer had communicated a problem to them. I have a service agreement with Best Buy so I was thinking maybe this was legitimate, but cautious. So instead of letting him fix my computer remotely I told him I would bring it into the store. He then told me that this was not that kind of problem. I then used the word scam and he hung up on me. So I look up the number and see that it is for the geek squad. So thinking that this just may have been a legitimate call I called the number and lo and behold it is for the Geek Squad but when I spoke with a representative they confirmed that it was a scam and that their number had likely been spoofed.

Its highly doubtful that it was.. Scammers are known to use and abuse real company names.  I doubt the Geek Squad would cold call you anymore then Microsoft itself would.
Your computer does *not* communicate problems over the internet or send messages like the scammers claim. Its a tactic to gain access to your computer and steal any and all information.

The only persons who should be touching your computer is you, your manufacturer, Real Windows support that you have called and/or maybe a real live tech you see face to face!

They called and left me a message in what sounded like Japanese.  No idea what they said!

I have repairs going on...service no 00484103831552... Could you please tell me what rthe problem seems to be

I might be able to solve this on my own if not I'll give you a call back in about 20 minutes

this 800 # Is for Geek Squad. if my local Best Buy/Geek Squad calls, it's from a local #. had to have help the last cpl wks & they sent a survey to fill out but i haven't gotten around to it. maybe that's why they called? coincidentally, i Was at Best Buy picking up my allegedly repair sys.

This caller "spoofed" the Geek Squad number - it is a scam call from out of country. Caller had an accent; said he was calling from Windows tech support. I threatened him with exposure if I received another call from him.
