False customer Dell technical support call
I received 3 calls from phishing to an offshore organization claiming to be Dell customer Suppor and tries to scam me for giving them access to my computer.
Monday, someone called me from the number 499-492-6931 and presented themselves as Sam, a Dell Technical Support, with an Indian accent. They explained on my Dell computer software they noticed that everything in is not infected my computer had received a number of attacks recently and to better protect what they wanted to do some features of Windows 'RUN' that may include typing "eventvwr" in the Run dialog box.
As she asked me to do this I Googled what she told me that I don't want unsolicited calls and immediately saw the warnings 'SCAM' in descriptions of all URLS that appear in the lists of Google. I told him I knew it was a scam and that I ended the call and hung up.
Apparently, they think that I'm very stupid, or now identified my number as a user of Dell PC and today I received two calls. Both of 800-254-1254. They have left a voice message that is involuntary where an Indian woman is laughing with his colleague on the first and 2, I replied and told her that I knew she was trying to rip me off and she hung up immediately.
I don't know if Dell can work with the telephone companies to block these calls, and maybe try to see who owns to chase these people. They are now an embarrassment to me because they have my number and ask me repeatedly. Unfortunately, there are people for fall, the elderly in particular who could be more confident.
Good fishing!
I doubt that Dell can block these scammers, unfortunately. I get phone calls from time to time. They ask usually you can open the event viewer, which shows always insignificant 'mistakes' to demonstrate that you have problems exist. Their goal is to make you turn the remote control of your PC.
The fact is that neither Dell nor Microsoft can remotely monitor your PC from infections or other problems (except if you permit). All these calls saying cold also are scams.
Although these callers often have thick foreign accents, I saw recent reports of the appellants with no accent, likely from the North America.
I'm having fun with these crooks. When I acknowledge number a crook in the calls view, I respond with ' 911 - what is the nature of your emergency? Or I'll play dumb and string them along for wasting their time. Sooner or later they will get the message and leave you alone.

I keep getting windows technical support calls asking me to put my pc is a scam
Yes! They are * not * windows technical support. It's a scam and with all the names and phone numbers, one that has become very common these days. 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 let them into your computer, who knows what damage they did here or what 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

Technical support phone scam?
Hi all. Earlier today, I phoned by someone claiming to be from Microsoft technical care; He said that my computer has been infected with a new virus (Trojan something?) and generated a lot of error messages. He asked me to download a software to help solve this (www.teamviewer.com); When I asked him to send the confirmation email that he was from Microsoft, it is very aggressive, said my license may be cancelled and finally told me to ' go to *'. Is it possible that this could be a real MS technical support call: the way of the appellant does not, but he asked me to watch some log files that to my uneducated eyes, seemed to have a lot of error messages, but I help but feel it is a scam.

The person calling said he could give me a technical support for problems that they had detected with my computer, but he seemed surprised when I said that I had problems with my computer. I did not understand a lot of what he was saying because of his foreign accent. Can someone tell me what it is? I don't think that I may have a virus, but Windows actually call for help?
You were lucky that you could not understand him and so do not buy what he was selling. It was a scam. Microsoft does not make unsolicited phone calls.
Insofar as thought, you could have a virus...
- What version of Windows (XP Home, XP Pro, Vista, etc) and Service Pack (none, 1, 2, 3) is installed? If you are unsure, do a click right my computer and select properties for information.
- What is the name and version of your anti-virus program? Is his current subscription and has it always been updated?
- What other security software is installed (names and versions)?
- What are the symptoms? That's what are you see you do not, you should see or what is you don't see don't you think you should? Please report the full text of the error message without paraphrase.
- What happened to your computer shortly before the symptoms started? Power outage (including pulling them out the plug or by pressing the off button); use of a registry cleaner, optimizer, tuner, etc. ; installation of an update (only one?). Another thing that you can identify.

A phone call to Microsoft technical support trying to supposedly help to fix a PC infection
Hello
FYI, I received a phone call in Somerville tonight of a number blocked a man with bad English. Maybe Indian, who claims to be from Microsoft Technical support telling me that he needed me to turn on my computer to correct an infection. He gave me 213-221-3528 recalled, I tried, but does not seem to be a real company. I think it was a con man.

Anyone having this problem?In addition, Windows would be really would sound to me?Thank youFake 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/msname.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.
