925-503-0439

925-503-0439 "19255030439" on ID. Called when I was out. Robot left a message saying something about receiving a refund on my
computer support account, and to press "1". Of course I have no such account. Obviously another variation of the
"Your Computer Has A Virus" scam.

Same scam as above

Left message regarding some type of refund of a payment to be credited to my account. Only part of message recorded.

Listen to message

No company will ever offer you a refund to cancel a subscription......or ask for remote access to your computer to refund money.

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• ANY Tech Support company that insists you need their services because of some error, outdated software or tries to convince you that you need to allow them remote access is a SCAMMER.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.

computer scam

Thank you for this important tip! I was scammed years ago. Apparently it’s a profitable scam for someone to continue.

Called saying they were Microsoft. I asked several questions because I knew it was a scam. The guy began cursing at me using very, very bad language.

How stupid do these scammers think we are!?  Same scam message, so I pressed 1 to play along.  Recorded false alert message: "Security alert message from Microsoft Windows service provider we would like to inform you that your Windows Defender security has been compromised for which you have paid us earlier to protect your computer now we are not able to provide any further services to your computer hence we have issued full refund against the payment you have made to us to get back your refund credited to your account please press one to get connected to our refund Department"

Voice with heavy Indian accent says,"It's me, David."  I reenacted my Academy Award winning "I'm so scared.  Do I have a virus?  What do I do?" & he said to turn on my computer.  I told "David" it was already on- what do I do now to protect our information?  He actually said I was a liar.  How rude for a scammer NOT to play along with me playing along!  I assured him my computer was already on when I got the call about this & I'm scared.  David said that I was a bull shi* (not a bullshi**er) and I just couldn't deal with him any more, so I hung up.  I should have fake cried- I can do that really well!  Maybe he's using secret cameras to watch me!?  Nah- just another scummy illegal low life scammer!

Received the standard MS-Windows Defender SCAM call.  Did not answer but let it go to voicemail.  It is funny that I had just blocked a different number today (805-219-7566) that represented the same scam.  I will block this one as well.

Same as described above. Apparently these scammers are still at it.

Automated message saying that they can no longer provide services for my computer and are issuing a « refund »

Caller ID says "unknown name".  Message was about a  refund for computer services.

Windows software refund. Value $299. Feel like Christmas gift from Santa..

July 8, 2019 - same scam Microsoft refund robocall as transcribed above. I pressed 1, and the same message played for a second time, and then an eastern accent guy came on. I read him my number, and said that is the number not to call again, because I don't go for scams, and this is a scam, and you are not Microsoft. At that point he hung up.

Same as all the other notes. Scammer!  I never answer my phone I just block the call.
