• Just got yet another call for "Windows Service Station"

  Just got yet another call for "Windows service station', saying: I was hacked and my computer sends windows warning messages and if I didn't follow his instructions all my data would be deleted... An Indian-sounding guy named Sam... I played along and got a phone number, saying: I would like to remind him he said 0808 1890111 which is a UK addiction hotline...

  I played along 'Sam' gave me an extremely long code to type in something on the windows event viewer... I know it's a scam and we have these calls often 3 times a week for a few years now. I play at the same time or am quite rude and tell them to be ashamed of themselves, depending on my mood... I really wish that they would go, but I can't this blocks 'any number' because it is off the coast.
  Any suggestions on how to remove our number and the name of their list (I asked the scammers do, but they don't notice).

  Certainly a SCAM, you have made the right choice. Never to give them information and never leave access to your PC.

  It is difficult, if not impossible to remove your number from a list of scam once its on it. And it's hard to know how they got it in the first place. It could be a list simple phone book. Recording with things like Telephone Preference Service (United Kingdom) and asking to be made "Red" (BT - UK) can make it harder for them to get a number in the first place, but once they have it probably wont help. It can stop any other do however.

  There are devices like Call Blocker, which can be programmed for their calls not ring your line, but it depends on what number they release when they call. If their number is "held" and then some providers have a service to stop calls "deductions number' to ring your line. ACR service (BT - Uk).

  PS - the links above are a few examples of our services/devices to the United Kingdom for more information.

• Call from Windows Service Center on errors in Event Viewer

  I received a call from a person named Jeff Ipkiss saying he was from the Windows Service. He said that he called because I was a loyal customer of windows and he wanted to fix my pc of some errors as it gets when I download files. I asked how he knew, he said his company gets alerts when clients receive error messages. He asked me to go in the Viewer (eventvwr.exe) events I watched administrative events and Windows logs and saw many warnings and errors. He also had me go into the filter to search by errors, and I could see several errors. After he checked, I had several errors, he tried to connect to my PC to correct the errors. (He assured me that it would be a tax)! I asked why he did and again he said "because you are such a loyal customer of windows. He also said that if there was any critical errors, there may be a small fee. At this point that I have no comfortable giving him access to my system, that's why I asked for an email check his business and his company's identity. I received the email from * address email is removed from the privacy * , I just did not trust so I hung up. What is a reputable company?

  Good! Hanging up was the right thing to do. The call was a scam, and
  with all the names and phone numbers, one that has become very common
  lately. See

  In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
  If you had let in your computer, which knows what losses are that they
  He would do or what confidential information that they would be
  stole.

  So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
  immediately:

  1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.

  2. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other
  financial sites.

  I received a phone call from 'Windows Service Centre', James Henderson, employee of 406-235-1159, phone number #7098 (Yes, that's an indication 406 and 416 - which is one of the reasons why I'm suspicious), but gave a speech in Mississauga (Ontario), saying that I have a problem with my internal security system and even if www.ammyy.com I need to talk to the technician to solve this problem.

• "Windows services Centre" call saying to pay to get viruses fixed

  original title: Windows Service Center

  I got a phone call from a person by the name of David (talking about the India) who says it works from Windows to Bankstown Sydney Ausralia services center.  They told me I had a virus on my firewall and asked me to pay $80 .00AUD for the correction of a problem.  A week later the problem is still there and actually worse that originally.  No reception given and I asked one 2 times.

  Can you let me know if there is a place called Windows Service Centre in Sydney Australia.  They also ask to connect to teamviewer.com and a gentleman there called me after I had sent an email to complain about not receiving my payment.  The man said there is a scam going and they use his company called teamviewer.com

  If you receive an unsolicited e-mail or phone call which is supposed to be from Microsoft, and request that you send personal information or click on the links,delete the email or hang up the phone .

  Today, I got a call from someone claiming to be Windows Support, saying he was getting my computer error messages. I (stupidly) allowed remote access to my computer and I was told that there were a great many virus that needed to be removed or it would break. While he was trying to sell my software I bcan suspect and ended the call.
