Call of the India

This morning I received a call from the India, unfortunately I did as requested and connected and pressed the windows key. I am now worried about what can advise you?

It is a scam.  You must scan your system for malware and viruses.  If you gave them any personal information, which they can use to steal your identity, you will need to contact your Bank and credit card companies.

  • Phone calls from the India

    I keep getting phone calls from a person in India (or a person with an Indian accent) who says that he comes from Windows and there is a problem with my computer.  He calls me by name and asks me to turn on my computer, that I refuse to do.  This looks like a scam to me, given that Windows notifies users of problems with updates on the internet.  In addition, I am on the "do not call" list, but it seems to make no difference.

  • How to stop calls from the India offer me help on viruses, they say that I downloaded

    I get these calls... String them along, and this time they gave me a number to call back.

    9089 505-506
    Also, it is the number that was displayed on my phone... 607-529-9985.
    What can I do to stop this...

    There are a lot of different scammers do these kinds of phone scams. They operate worldwide and are difficult to control or track. Personally, I am red which helps.

    Some people say that they don't own a computer and hang up. In this way these specific Crooks, at least, have no reason to remember.

    Your best defense is to know when it comes to scams - tell your family and your frends too.

    Although you already seem to know that these calls are usually scams, here's my usual advice:

    «Do not make them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest.» One moment.

    Please see:

    These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well. »

  • Common cold called the India telling me that my computer is corrupt and needs attention at a cost. The call of this morning came from 02533639006.

    Please could someone tell me if the calls of the India telling me this computer is corrupt and needs attention to the cost are to be considered as a suspect.

    This morning, my husband took one of the many calls from a company whose name can never be clearly understood.  Call came this morning from the above mentioned phone no.  It was a particularly tough call, insisting that they knew there was corruption on my system and when my husband asked for the source of this information and how they would take care and at what cost, the appellant insisted to know the age of my husband.  When he asked the appellant to bring the problems that he was speaking in an e-mail that he rang off the coast.

    As has happened so often before, could someone please let me know what steps I should take to ensure that all information on the State of operation of my computer is genuine and comes from a reliable source.  My husband and I are retired and is concerned by the number of calls we receive from this type.  We had an audit by computer not so long ago and everything was there at that time.  Despite the running is a little slow, I don't have serious problems that I know.  I learned to be patient when waiting for the computer to operate as required.

    I look forward to hear from you in due course.

    Thank you very much.

    It's FAKE and SCAM, because of course, you could report it to the Ministry in charge of fraud in your country.

    FaceTime is forbidden by the law in Saudi Arabia and the UNITED Arab Emirates and is removed from iPhones sold in other countries of the Middle East, if they are used outside the country where they were originally sold. If you plan to use an iPhone outside the Middle East, then don't buy it in the Middle East. The one you bought there FaceTime was illegally imported from another region and sold it.
