813-438-4292

Called at 10:00 am.  Caller ID listed "Valrico, FL."  Left a robocall message similar to the usual Microsoft computer scam.  Don't answer.

Received a call saying they would charge my account $399.  From Valrico, Fl

Talking fast... something about 'computer services' .. apparent scam.

Left call on answering machine that my account would be charged for computer services. Did not name amount. If I did not want it charged call this number.

Recorded message says I will be charged $399, unless I call them to cancel a virus protection for my computer.  I hung up.

Warning! This is a Tech Support Scam number!

Listen to message

Never allow anyone  Remote Access unless you contacted them first! Scammers can lock you out and hold your computer ransom with Syskey (Microsoft SAM Lock Tool).

Help spread the word and prevent someone from becoming a victim.

Fact:

• ANYONE who calls or emails you and says your computer called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
• ANYONE who calls or emails you and says your online server called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
• Windows Operating System licenses do not expire.
• ANYONE who calls or emails you with a message about your computer having illegal activity, is a SCAMMER.
• Apple will never, ever call you about alleged suspicious iCloud activity.
• ANY Tech Support Warning pop-ups you get while accessing the internet asking you to call a number or visit a website, is from a SCAMMER.
• Web Browsers DO NOT have the ability to determine and warn you your computer has an error. They can only warn you about a potential malicious website. A Browser is software that allows you to surf the Internet, not diagnose a computer or phone.
• ANY Tech Support company that insists you need their services because of some error, outdated software or tries to convince you that you need to allow them remote access is a SCAMMER.
• Nobody could possibly know if your computer or devices have an issue unless you tell them or gave them access.
• Tech Support companies DO NOT call or email to give out refunds because they are "going out of business", or to "cancel a subscription".  Companies DO NOT give refunds unless they have to.
• Companies DO NOT call to inform you that your subscription will be charged if you don't call back, only SCAMMERS do that. If you have a subscription with someone, they automatically charge you until you cancel it and they don't give a refund.
• Only a Scammer would want Remote Access to give a Refund.
• 3rd party Tech services DO NOT include Email account repairing or password resetting, since they can not access the email server unless it belongs to them.

Never trust a caller who wants to "help your computer" for any reason (unless you contacted them first), as they are only going to scam you. If you need Tech Support, you should contact a reputable local service.

If I don't give them $399, my computer will self-destruct.

We got the same message  as Joy, from that same number out of Florida.

left a call back number.

Received call saying if I did not wish account to be charged ca the number.

I received a call from this 813 number a few minutes ago. I reported it to T Mobile it is absolutely a spam call. Do not answer.

They called and said I was going  to get back $399 because they are not going to do tech support any more so they were going to refund me the money I paid them "a long time ago". I never paid them anything. They wanted me to type in something in my address bar. I asked her how stupid did she think I am. I was not letting her into my computer and hung up. I am sure it's just a backwards way of scamming people.

Called in the middle if the night leaving a message “Security Department “

says they were tampa police

Keeps calling, spammers, I will never pick up
