8777862227

Wanted to fix my computer. Said didn't have one. They hung up

Calling all the time but leaves no message as I didn't know what they wanted. If I don't know the number I don't answer. Especially private callers as for me when they do this, its a sign of they have something to hide. By the looks of what I'm reading here..... THEY DO!

You may not have the time but if you do call them constantly they will eventually stop calling when you harass them back.  LOL  I annoyed them so much they begged me not to call again (they will get very rude and say some extremely nasty things) but I laugh at criminals who actually think they are smarter then everyone else.  It is really funny if your a woman and put them in their place.

The Karma Protech number is 18777862227.  I had an issue with them calling too.  I called them and harassed them right back to the point they begged me not to call them anymore.  Now I try and let people know you can beat these fools at their own game.  I post their number as much as possible!  Call them and harass them it works!!!

Indian Tech Scam.  Caller I.D says Karma Techpro.  They are very rude and racist Indian scammers.  They will tell you they are located in the US (but can't tell you who the vice president is though).  They admitted to me they are in India (well it slipped out of one of the idiots mouths).  Don't answer and don't call pop-ups on your computer these are the jerks that end up with your number with-in 12 hours of calling the pop-up.  I've done a lot of research on the fools.

Indian Tech scam.  Who I also believe when they finish scamming they are Gurgaon, India's rapists.  (I'm not trying to sound rude but the things they say they will do to you when they don't get money from you would put them at the top of the rapist list)  They are located at the Haryana/Delhi border in India (enough said I think).

If someone is stupid enough to be duped into one of these scams, they deserve to be scammed. Scammers stay in business  by people falling into their trap. PEOPLE get educated. Do not entertain any calls you think are suspicious. If you didn't initiate the call, NEVER pay for anything. Most of the scams originate outside the U.S., but can make an international call appear as a local call on your caller ID. Often you can hear other voices in background to make it seem like an office setting.

Keeps calling.  1st time Indian woman.

Have changed their name, but same old b.s.  At least they're using caller i.d. now.

Microsoft indian scammers---called me and told me to die, and cursed me out!

After probably 3 dozen phone calls. I made the mistake of having him "scan" my computer.  He then proceeds to tell me that he will need to install some software and it will be a "small charge". I tell him I'm not buying anything and he says that they have "plans" to help pay for it! I asked him "I thought you said it was a small charge?!?!?" That's when Iturned my computer off.  He then threatens that the "criminals" will completely block my computer and I won't e able to use it if I don't buy his software!  I hung up, he called back a couple of minutes later, and then I blocked his number.  Now I just hope these immoral leave me alone. :/

You have bigger problems than having them call back.

Thanks to Slim, another registered poster here and computer whiz:

Since the scammers accessed the computer, they probably did one or more of the following:
• Disabled the anti-virus software
• Added nasty malware to the computer
• Copied the Contact List (so they can spam/email your soon-to-be ex-friends)
• Copied any financial data or passwords they could find
• Compromised your ID on Facebook or other social site(s), and perhaps on shopping sites.
• "Zombied" the computer, so it would respond to THEIR commands sent via internet
• Deleted some important files
• Asked for money to repair the damage they caused

What can you do immediately after such an attack?
1.  Pull the cables on the computer, or otherwise disable it, so it cannot access the internet.
2.  Change ALL  passwords stored on the computer.
3.  Run FULL malware scans on the computer, in "SAFE" mode!
4.  Change the passwords again, particularly if the malware scans showed anything.
5.  Inform your bank and credit card companies.
6.  Sign up for credit monitoring, and check the status frequently
7.  Backup non-executable personal, data files to an external storage device.  (Executable files might be infected).
8.  You may have to bring the computer to a local repair shop, and tell them the story.
9.  Tell friends what happened, so they can be aware of strange emails from you.
10.  Connect to the internet only AFTER all the above have been done.
11.  Change the passwords on all online accounts.  Even better - access a "safe", uninfected  computer, and change your online account passwords RIGHT NOW.

NOTE:
If your computer set a "Restore Point" while it was infected, any "System Restore" you make will re-infect your computer.  Suggest you delete any potentially infected restore points and avoid setting such restore points until after your computer has been thoroughly cleaned!

You fell for one scam, and might be susceptible to others mentioned on this site:

Honest computer companies do NOT cold-call people, or cause popups from websites to tell them their computers need fixing!

Some scammers even have websites, and falsely advertise they are associated with popular software packages or computer companies; so do NOT believe a "we will fix your computer remotely" site, and allow them access to your computer!

Lesson:
If your computer needs fixing, bring it to a local repair shop

Tried to access my computer

This indian guy with a very thick accent could barely understand him stated he was from microsoft tech support. Very rude and dismissive i don't think in a day age like today that the way this guy spoke to customers would be acceptable.

Caller ID said TOLL FREE CALL. I don't answer unfamiliar numbers and let it go to voice mail. They left no message and are now blocked.

This an India hacking shop, pretending to be Microsoft support calling about clearing a virus.

Computer scam

This number has called my phone identifying themselves as a Mac tech support and is saying that my macbook is sending errors and has a virus. I do not use my 2009 MacBook anymore. This is definitely a scam.
Do not give these people any information. The caller also had an Indian accent.

Did not answer due to unfamiliar number and confirmed it was scammers.  Avoid....do not answer
