Received a call from a guy from Indian accent claiming he calls Network Services to businesses (BNS - one company in India after checking)

I am one of those calls on Friday and this morning of a number in California (818) 942-3348 and (510) 576-0000 (of course no one responds to these requests).  Today, the guy said that my computer is virus spread and many fraudulent activities going on under my license!  I was not cooperative to provide any information or do what he was asking me (to connect to my computer) and when I did a few question that where he calls and... He started to threaten me. Then he said that I should cancel my license from Microsoft. When I asked what is my license number, he said 888DCA60 and when I told her let me I'll check it with Microsoft and I'll decide what he said 'be sure that your computer will be shut down after completing the call! "

I really wonder where these people have access to our information and why there is no action to these abusive entities.

  • received alarming call of guy who claims to be from one of the free services of Windows

    Hello, just got a phone call from a guy with an accent Middle-Eastern or Indian. He said that he was working for Windows and this call is a free service of help me solve an immediate threat to my computer system. He said that they had seen errors coming in the last three weeks. On my phone, no calling number display, only #0123456789. Strangely enough, it was that he knew my name. At that time, I was rather suspicious.

    He told me that he could prove it was ligit showing me my CLSID and asked me to press the button next to Ctrl more 'R' at the same time. At this time a small input field appeared on the bottom of my screen, and he began to instruct me to enter a command (CMD). At that time, I was convinced that it was a scam, so I did not it and I told him that it didn't work and I was going to hang up on him almost 100%. He said: 'OK, fine, then it's your own loss

    I'm 99.9999% sure he was a crook, but for my own insurance, what is your vision? A I already spend a dangerous point or I was at the time to hang up?

    FYI, I got this call in Europe, don't know if more people have received these calls lately. Thanks for reading and for your comments.

    Fake phone calls to technical support

    Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let 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:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-GB/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

    Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

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

    If the only thing you did was press Windows Logo key * + R but not more then you should be safe.

    * I assume you mean The Windows Logo key instead of Ctrl like that will appear the race box where I'd normally expect CMD be registered to access the command prompt window. CTRL +R would be safe just refresh the active window.

  • receive phone calls from a guy who says he works for windows, please help.

    Hi all, I got a phone call from a guy yesterday saying my computer downloaded currupt and Marie-Claire files and had asked, on behalf of microsoft, to contact me this was a business partner?, it was the Indian accent but did not speak good enough English if you listened well, at this point, he had my full attention that my computer was slow in the months , I explained that I had someone find and remove programs for me to speed it up, but it was persistent in getting me in front of the computer. He said he could help me and show me the problems? I asked name hes, he gave and he even new my name and what platform I was using. I don't remember the name of the company, that he said, that he was but the phone number was 0206 something something? After reading this other storys hoax here had me calm worried, he explained that the problem needs to be fixed and I must say after testing to see if he was legitimate, he even said that he would put the supervisor on... He explained to me the same thing and although I challenged somemore on what it could be anyone he said sure, but were not trying to make that you are something weird to us, cannot remember everything exactly, but I said ill insatall a virus program myself, who while he became upset, saying big companys will charge you loads just go on your computer so that I can that I you Guide in that says im? Ultimately, and after reading the other storys peoples about these scams and calls after that I hung up on him which im happy I did it, he then phones me back saying today the problem has not been corrected, in an application for Mr. family name once again on your computer. I got protection as IE firewall and software spies but I havnt got the malware protection, anyone got any idears what I can do? or how these people got my number, p.s do you recommend pc spy software new help for example?

    When he calls again, tell him that you save the phone message. Tell him to hear again, or you must notify the police for internet fraud. Then hang up.

    For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

  • I continue to receive calls from numbers not available with an Indian accent saying that they are from the Technical Department of windows and I have a problem with my computer.

    Original title: scams?

    I continue to receive calls from numbers not available with an Indian accent saying that they are from the Technical Department of windows and I have a problem with my computer. Normally, I just say that I don't have and hung up. Today, I took a little further and he said that they discovered that I had loads of malware/viruses etc and that they could identify with them. I was obviously very suspicious because he seemed to have my correct Windows ID number and with care on 'Run' he told me to type things like cmd eventviewer and inf where he referred to a file 1394.pnf. I stopped while he asked remotely to access my computer. However, I got a phone number 01916450337 and his P786000 id I noticed that many people are posting on your forum-is this another one of those scams?

    Continue to put the phone down. They are all crooks.

    They get you to open Event Viewer, because there are words such as 'critical' and 'error' along the this.

  • I received a call from someone from L V want to check my computer for viruses

    I received a call from someone from L V want to check my computer for viruses. He had an Indian accent. This is a scam.

    Also ILA listed no. name no number.

    It is a phishing attempt! Do not give any information. Reported people on these calls for a person who represents Windows (note: not Microsoft).

    It is a scam! Not to follow their instructions or advice and not to provide ANY information to them.

    Because they use the internet lines and/or phone to complete their fraud, there may be federal agencies in your country who are interested in discovering their calls. Their report directly to the appropriate agency if you feel you can contribute to their arrest and the charges.

    Microsoft do NOT pick up the phone and start dialing customers and never phones/e-mails asking for personal information or asking them to visit a web site! If please ignore one of those calls and hang up immediately or give the phone to a screaming baby.

    Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

    In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

    Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

    Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

    If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

    If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

  • Received a call from making hoax pretending to be from Microsoft

    Original title: call of 212777322

    Received a call from above 9, not 10, phone digits # this morning.  The strongly accented guys calling claims that Microsoft and that Microsoft has received messages from my computer stating that I have unnecessary and malicious 'elements' on my computer that are erase all my data. When I asked him to give me a number of good reminder, he informed me that I could not directly contact Microsoft about this problem.  I hung up.  Then I did some research and it seems that a lot more people there receive the same call.

    It's a scam and with all the names and phone numbers, one who has
    become very frequent lately. See
    http://www.troyhunt.com/2012/08/virus-scams-social-engineering-victims.html

    In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
    If you leave them in your computer, which knows what losses they did are
    where confidential information they 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 allow calls from verified contacts, but still receive unwanted calls

    in do not distrub, I allow calls from verified contacts, but always receive unwanted calls, I even got a call with my name in the caller ID!

    If you allow calls repeated under tension, then the telemarketers or who calls you are probably recall several times. As for the one with your name in the caller ID, I am one of those who earlier. Turns out be a telemarketing touting T-Mobile robot. I was incredibly ticked. So I got my carrier on the phone a few minutes asking them to open a trace. These calls are illegal.

    The foam of telemark will stop at nothing in their attempts to get through you.

  • IMessages receiving and calls from girls, it does not!

    Ms and my daughter share an Apple ID. She has recently updated to IOS 9 and I am 7. I'm receiving his iMessages and receive phone calls from numbers that we share (not all of them are iPhones). What should we change the setting to stop what is happening? If it goes out his "call forwarding" that she does not get my texts to her. Help!

    As you are both sharing the same Apple ID you both will receive the same iMessages. The simplest solution would be to have yourself or your daughter, put in place a new Apple ID and this should solve the problem.

    08:30... I just got a call from a man claiming he calls Microsoft (sounded Indian)... He began to tell me that I was apparently the Registrant for windows (bad) and I was loading the garbage in the back on the ground, when I tols him would not discuss anything over the phone with someone when I could not check who they were he got snotty with me  I told her to remove my number from their database and if they called again I account him for harassment... and then he raised his voice so I said how dare you call me at 8:30 in the morning and holler at me!


    Needless to say that the number was not available when I tried to back ring
