800-800-8100

Get calls all the time from these idiots.  They say "I'm with windows technical department", anyone dumb enough to believe should fall victim to this scam.  I think they are indian or some foreign place like that.  It is so fun to mess with them, I love making them repeat themselves a hundred times then tell them I have apple, it is soooo great.  

But seriously I wish we could stop all scammers I am so sick of them its not funny, but if you recorded me messing with them you would laugh your butt off.

Got the call from these buggers...told them I am an Apple user they hung up instantaneously......WHO R THEY????

Got a call from this number and the person said he was with the technical departmart. I told him he had the wrong number and he asked me if I had a computer. I told him twice that he had the wrong number and hung up. Man had heavy accent, maybe Indian.

Call was from Global IT abt my computer and blah blah blah. I've received this call way too many times, how does this stop?! I've yelled at them, told them I'll report them to BBB and nothing. They are relentless!

i got a call today from this wonderful number, normally some trash like this I let slide. I live with my grandparents who do not use computers and know very little about them. when I got the call they said in a very heavy mid eastern accent that they were from some company I could not make out after asking they guy to repeat himself several times. he proceeded to say my registry in my windows XP computer was full of errors. Well I said to the guy funny my XP computer has errors I have not owned XP in years. He said oh I ment windows 8. Again I said funny I own a windows 7 computer. I asked for his name again, his title, and his address and return call number.  He said none of that is important. I laughed said well i hope you think it is important that the call was recorded and now will be sent to the police and reported to the FTC. Called me a rude name and hung up. I looked up the number online and found not only this but  few other places where I can see that many folks were contacted by this. Sorry if my thoughts here are not complete I am running on no sleep. So does anyone know after this gets reported to the FTC and police what happens? How long will this take to stop?

Not gong to stop anytime soon.  These people are scammer/extortionists working out of Indian call centers.  They are pretty much bullet-proof and they know it.  Call blocker is your best bet.   Occasionally the Indian government shuts one or two of the call centers down, but they start up again somewhere else.

Occasionally I threaten them with a hellfire missile air strike; or I tell them I'm going to sic  NSA on them.  It shuts them up for a few seconds, but than they ramble on  again.  

I do get mad at 'em.  

Here's one I recorded:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1MXnpVpdzw

Got a call tonight.   I knew this was a scam as this guy called my office two days ago.   I played along and then informed him that I only have a work laptop.   He said it is probably in trouble.   I said hang on I have yo log in.   I spoke my login. .. Joe Nichols@fbi.gov... crickets. ...

From 800-800-8100, Indian male voice telling me he could help with my computer problems (nothing wrong with it except old age!! When I declined he started with the chatter, I said put it in the mail please, and hung up. Obviously from other people's comments, this "disease" is going around, really appreciate your site,helps separate the wheat from the chaff!

I have been receiving calls from this number, men with Indian accents stating that they are Microsoft certified technicians and that my computer is sending out error messages. My computer is working fine. They are pushy and persistent. On one call, I old a man to call call back the next day and he stated that that was going to be a holiday for them. To see what they were up to I logged into my computer and he had me go to an events page that listed some critical errors. When he said that he wanted to do remote viewing of my computer I ended the call. When I tried to call the number I got a fast busy signal. My land line telephone has a call blocking feature, and I have entered this number to be blocked. Hopefully it will prevent me from receiving more call from these people.

It is VERY obvious, that you were called by the [***] computer scammers, who attempt to cheat decent folks, in order to feed their camels!

A man with an East Indian accent called saying I must get on my computer right away and help me fix a problem that Microsoft just found out was killing the operating systems of 8.1.  I refused and then checked this site.  So very glad we did.

I got a call today. I usually don't answer when I don't recognize the number, but I was in for a little fun today! Man with Indian accent, lots of static so I told him I couldn't understand. He finally fixed it. Then told me what my address was. Creepy. He then told me that my computer was getting slower and slower and there is a message on the opening screen. Ha! I said 'no it isn't, and this is creepy!' He said something about the day after tomorrow and I just laughed and said that this was creepy again and hung up. Tried to call the number back but of course, couldn't. Glad all of you had posted before!

I get these calls constantly. As soon as you tell to take your name and number off their call list, they hang up before you finish your sentence. Big scam. I don't own any windows computers

Warren, you wacist person you! We don't use words like "[***]" here.

These are [***]. Get it straight. Alternatively, they're [***].

If anybody needs help with any other racial epithets, just speak up, I've got 'em all on a list here somewhere...

That is all. Carry on.

Just tell them that you have industrial-strength gomer repellent. Tell 'em it's called "Springtime in Bhopal" and it's made by Union Carbide and it's a proven pest eliminator.

I have received 6 calls from this number this month - I hang up.  I have received the same call many times in the past few months with "unavailable" showing on the screen.

Agreed.  Indians are [***].  Middle-easterners are rag-heads.

800-800-8(1)00 + id "Toll Free Call" ---- really?? cuteness like this is supposed to make me believe its somehow legit ??
gimme a break.

I got a call from the 800-800-8100 for the third time, they dont want to stop calling. he said he said "I am calling for main windows computer owner".    so this time I laid into him ,told him he should be ashamed of being such a huge scum bag and he should rot in heck tiring to scam people and everyone hates him. he said "I am calling for main windows computer owner".  he sounded confused why anyone would be mad at him for trying to run a scam. really, do they think we are that dumb, he hung up when I said curse to your whole family. I am thinking I am now off their call list. if this works, that will become my new response to the endless scam calls.

SSDD.  Told him he was full of sh-- and hung up.  Will block number.
