Windows person?

Windows scanner with new number. Blocked.

Windows OS scammer; attempting to access my computer. Hang up and report this number to FCC

We received a call from this number at 10:29 p.m. on Sept. 12. We don't answer calls when we don't recognize the number.

Got a call tonight from the number.  They stated that the primary computer user had downloaded a file that would allow hackers to have access to our computer.  I asked for a call back number and for them to verify who they were.  They hung up

Do not answer unknown calls, do not call them back and consider getting a call blocking device/app. FYI...867 does not work on toll free numbers like 888.

Correction-*67 does not work on toll free numbers like 888.

These are scammers calling about Windows virus trying to get access to your computer. Hang up and do not speak with them. After numerous attempts to block these scammers, they manage to get past blocks with fake numbers. This number if you call back says the number is a cancer association located in Nevada. The garbage never ends.

Unsolicited call at about 10 AM.  They insisted they detected an issue with my computer.  We got into an argument about whether this was a legitimate organization or not.  Indian voice/accent.  Eventually I got bored and hung up.

I called the number back.  I got a recorded message claiming to be the Comprehensive Cancer Center of Nevada (a real organization, but clearly not with this phone number), but it's recorded in broken English - also by someone with an Indian voice/accent, and pressing buttons to navigate the menus leads in an endless circle.  It also does *not* tell you to call 911 for a life threatening emergency - it just says something like, "if you've already called 911, press 1."

Obvious scammers.

If you receive an call from 888-841-8182, please file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission asap. https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#&panel1-1

Lady called saying my Windows is blah blah blah. Told the lady nicely to remove my number from their list and this lady starting going off getting mad. Wtf...

A woman with an Indian accent called me at 9:58pm tonight saying she is from Windows Tech Support, I stopped her right there and asked her "WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME AT ALMOST 10:00pm", she replied with, "this is an urgent matter concerning your Windows operating system", I explained I do NOT have Windows as my operating system and she called me a liar and then asked to speak to my husband, when I told her there is no husband she again called me a liar and then hung up.

Damn - they just called at 10:40pm.

Yes it is a Scam.
Never let people who call you gain remote access to your PC. They will steal all your private information, give you malware, over charge you and generally ruin your day (or several). They are criminals. Do not answer unknown callers and do not call them back.

usually when I ask for their number to call back to verify...they hang up...this woman just kept talking and talking...I finally hung up on her...she said she was from London.  called at 10 pm.  I ignored the number for the last two weeks and finally answered figuring that when they knew I was on to them they would stop calling.

This number calls between 10pm and 11pm at night.  Not my practice to answer unknown callers so eventually  they hang up.

Yes, definitely a scam...  Check your firewalls and security programs.  Wondering if somehow their cross-referencing street addresses associated with home phone numbers to get your PC's IP address???

Got a call from 720-535 1250 with the same old "Windows"  BS   The same guy called back 20 mins later from 888-841 8182 with the same spiel about Windows.

Spam

Called me at 11 p.m. and woke the kids.  Thanks for that.  No message left.  I'm on the Do Not Call Registry but still they come through.
