Said he was with QB Tech Support and that my files weren't being updated with QB due to a logging error and that I needed to connect with him using Support-LogMeIn (I knew he was full of c**p when the call started). I pretended to follow his instructions and asked for a number in case we got disconnected, Googled his number during the conversation, found the info here and very promptly told him to "F Off" and hung up. I wasn't born yesterday idiot!!!

Caller claimed he was from Microsoft and would charge my credit card if I did not call him back.  There was a lot of noise in the background so I figured it was some sort of scam.

Pretending to be QuickBooks tech support saying my subscription was Out of date.  Scammer that got me last time also claimed to be Quickbooks. I had to change all my bank accounts and passwords and clean my windows.

3/28/19 - Initially... there was a lot of noise in the background. Caller ID read:  Intuit Pro  844.769.7025 Ex" 410
Caller said my name is Joseph from Microsoft and that my account is being charged $199 for last years services .  And, IF I didn't pay promptly, I would be charged $499.00 or $999.00!
Upon returning call , it rang 6+ times, but no one answered.

Received a call about my microsoft securties being outdated.  I tried to refuse the call but said he was charging my credit card $499.95.  At that time I ask him to remove anything he had placed on my computer.  He put a password on my compiuter, preventing me to access the computer.  Then they made several attemps to convice me to allow them to repair and get me back on the computer but it was going to cost me.  I finally told them good bye and hung up.  Had to take the computer to my local tech to re format the HD and re load windows.  A well organized scam.

Very well known and highly publicized. I hope you know that they also got every piece of information that was on that computer including user names, passwords, contacts, bank account info, everything.

This number has called me multiple times saying they are going to charge my card some outrageous amount, when I asked for his name and to speak to a supervisor, he hung up on me. I called back.  I asked which company/agency this was, wouldn't tell me. Asked for supervisor, guy said he was the supervisor, I cursed him out pretty good, called them liars, thieves, and scams.  He hung up on me. I called back, another man answered and said he was the manager when I asked to speak to them. Told them to lose my number and that I would be calling the BBB on them. No response, he hung up, of course. Chicken.

Probably hung up because the thought of someone reporting them to the useless BBB would have been hilarious and he would have been rolling on the floor laughing.

Yes me too.  When I tell him to send my invoice by email, which he should have on file if I am a customer, he says thank you and an email never comes.  Scam!!!

They blocked our email account.

This caller number called my home # said same thing on answering machine.. If ya call back your phone service is charged $1. Per minute.. Hate scammers...

Basically about the same as everyone else. Caller said I paid to have security added to my computer two years
ago and the contract expired and they were going to charge my account $500.00. Told me to turn my computer on
so they can remove what they said they installed told them to call back at 4 pm today. Glad I checked this number

I was at my 80ish yr old clients house cleaning.  I repeatedly heard him telling a caller, “No, you can’t have any more money....Put my computer back!    I walked in to his office and looked at his computer....this scammers had control of his computer and were disabling his function settings.    I tried to do a print screen scammers blocked it.  My client put me on the phone with them, I asked for their company name, license information and location.....they would not tell me anything....siting I was not authorized to talk to them.  I called them on their BS and unplugged my clients computer.   After unplugging the computer they continued to call (6 times)my client...I told him not to answer and if it continued to call his phone company to block their number.   Had home call a real computer IT guy who will clean his computer up for him.

So how did you get control of the PC back?
They did something to mine where I can't use my Windows password anymore. I currently can not get in to my computer.

You will need to take your computer to a real brick and mortar computer shop to have it fixed. You will also need to change all your user names and passwords, notify your contacts, alert your bank and credit cards, and anything else that was on that computer since they now have it all (and don't do it from that computer if you manage to get back into it).

Caller with indian accent wanted access to my computer claiming that his connection to my computer was cut off. He also said that i had a refund of $400.00.  I told him not to call as he was a scammer .

Man with an Indian accent called and said he was calling from Microsoft.  He said my antivirus protection had expired and if I didn’t renew it He would charge my card $500 because when I signed up last year I’d agreed to keep service 3 years.  Had no idea what he was talking about.  Hung up on him

What is even funnier is that Microsoft does not even sell antivirus protection. It is built in to Windows and there is nothing more from Microsoft you can get paid or free.

"Your account is being charged $500 for auto-renewel update. Please call me back at 844-769-7025, extension 419. Ask for Edward."

How did they do that I received the same type of call on my home line they wanted 599.00 dollars for a renewal for software I don’t even have
