8007860970

Received a call today from Compfixo telling me my computer will not update correctly and Microsoft contacted them and gave them my #.  

He wanted me to log on to website.  I then asked how does Microsoft know my computer in not updating properly. He said they have a 16 digit code from my computer.  I said  give me the codes and I will verify them because I am looking at my # on the seal of my computer.  He said they are inside my computer on the mother board.

I knew he was trying to scam me at the very beginning.  I was not going go his website and give any access to my computer.

I had him to spell his company name by using alpha, bravo, echo etc. and phone # 800 786 0970.

I was keeping on the line as long as I could just for fun then I hung up.  I called back and they answered.  I will keep calling them leading them on to waste their time when I have nothing else better to do.

This lady named "Kathy" with a thick Indian accent tried the exact same thing as everyone else mentioned.  I asked her to slow down, because they try and confuse you with their fast talk and sneaky methods.  I told her I needed to do some research on the company first and said I'd call back.  

Same thing has happened to me and I filed a complaint against that number with the FTC.  There is nothing more aggravating than these people, whether they barely speak English or not, trying to scam people to get access to their personal information.  

Got a call from this lady with Indian accent saying she works for Microsoft and she has my CLS ID number for my computer and it has a virus.  She gave me a numebr only when I asked about calling them back- 800-786-0970 and they have advance tools to remove the corupte files.  I told them I thought she was trying to hack into my computer and she said " trust me, I am with Microsoft"
I told her she was full of [***] and I was getting off the phone. I took her number.. oh BUT she asked for my parent's and knew their last name!

Comfixo - marketing trying to get me to change configurations on computer

B.S. scam call. Caller ID showed 706.229.8665....predictive dialer calling from India to get you to run a CMD code of assoc so that they can remote into your PC. Do not talk to these scums....

Same old same old.  Telling me that Microsoft was not able to update my computer etc.... These people were calling me daily about 3 months ago.  I asked to be put on no call list.  I talked to "supervisor".  When I told them not to call  he told me to "F-off" .  Then I was getting 4-5 calls a day from 5 in the morning to after midnight.  I finally had enough and then  I warned them I would blow my foxfire whistle if they called again... so they did.  And I probably deafened the person on the other end.  It at least gave me 2 months of no calls but it is starting again today.

I just got this same very call - wanting remote access to my PC.  Said no way and had them walk me through -- saw some error messages and warnings & then I said okay how do I fix & then sales pitch .... sign up for 1 or 2 year plan and they provide tech support and fix .... Hung up quickly thinking what a scam !

18007860970 this is the number they gave me
They were trying to get access to my computer

What a scam!  This place just called me telling me there was a problem with my computer and they need to help me fix it or I'd be exposed to a lot of viruses!

I knew from the second she called that it was a scam, so I was very short and direct to her.

In the end, I said give me your number and I'll call you back.  She gave me this 1-800 number (she had called from a provide number), told me the company name is Compsixo and that her name was Kathy.

I don't know how anyone in this day of age would fall for that!!

I received a call saying my computer was not getting my updates. I just got a new computer and my nephew works for Dell and got it through him, so knew it was working. They wanted me to open certain things and said they would walk me through it. I refused and said I wanted their # and they gave me the # 800-786-0970. Their # did not show up as I was on another call and I switched over so their # did not show up.

On Nov. 23, 2013, Phone call came from a blocked #, but the number they gave me was 800-786-0970.  I just called it back and someone answered "hello" no company name.  I had believed they were legit, because they did clean out my computer and  it is running faster.  I signed up for a 1 year tech support for $199.99, but they weren't supposed to charge my card until Nov 27. 2013. After the phone call I got a call from my credit card protection agency stating that a $50 dollar charge had been made to my debit card for an online purchase that day.  They could not tell me who it was for becaue it was an encrypted credit card clearing house.  I made no purchases on line that day and had the company put an immediate hold on my card.  This was on a Saturday.  I will call my bank on Monday and tell them not to process the $50 or the $199.99.  They also told me that they would send any documents or conversations to my e-mail.  Now I can't get into my e-mail.

Any ideas on how to un-do this scam?  My dad signed up for the one year plan and gave these pricks access to his computer.  What next?  I can cancel the credit card, but I wonder what else these guys now have access to from my dad's computer (likely everything that was on it...) - should I be changing/cancelling everything now?  F me.

do one thing squiggy if you are good in computers go to  start- control panel-  programs and features
if u  find anything called tech in client remote desktop or techin client.exe or ammy or any other thing un install it  also remove anything u find unusual

Thanks Phill.  I will give that a try... do you want me to give you my credit card # right now?... for F sakes...  :)
Thanks again (seriously).  Cheers

FYI
I just got a call from a company claiming to fix my Microsoft computer as there must be something blocking an update.  So I played along a little bit.
They want you to run from your start up menu www-teamvwr-com (i replaced . with - to not create a link. I told them ok but if I could call back as I was in the middle of something.
The number they gave me was 1-800-786-0970 and their company name was compsixo and they are a tech support company working for Microsoft.
I believe this to be a scam.

yes you are right they are hundred  percent scam

i was working with them for 15 days as soon as i came to know it was scam  i stopped going there  during the training period
no one is gonna ask you for credit card number . please take care of ur dads computer   but when ur dad has purchased a 1 year plan i guess damage has been done from next time take care and please report   about the call to the federal authorities

Yep-same thing as others are reporting here. The number is def CompFixo--its right on their homepage. Sleazy telemarketing campaign. I went along with the caller until he wanted to have me give remote access. I would NEVER do that! They may be legit as far as being a tech services provider, but why in the world would they try to get business by making you suspicious of their motives...it could have been anybody wanting to access my hard drive fergodsake. (yeah, I know, real hackers don't bother to call you first)  It must be a costly way to do business to have someone on the phone with you that long (and why they are outsourcing the calls to India.) I did learn that my computer actually does have a lot of errors occurring, but that must be quite common :(

Just had a call from an unidentified caller ID who said her name was Gracie Edwards and she was calling from Comfixo and she asked that I put on my computer as I was missing some Microsoft uploads. I was reluctant to do this and inquired for some more information. She said they were acting on behalf of Microsoft. I also inquired about the unidentified caller and she gave the number 1-800-786-0970. I told her I will call her back. I called the Microsoft support number and they seem to be unaware of this Company. I requested that the person I spoke to at Microsoft have her Supervisor call me. Have not heard back from Microsoft. LOOKS LIKE ONE BIG SCAM. Feel Microsoft should put out a bulletin on this.
