Michael calls my elderly mother.  The first time at 5:30 am.  He keeps telling her that there are potential problems with her computer. She knows very little about computers and is trying to scare her.  I keep telling her that it is a scam.  But he keeps calling her.  Anyone else out there know anything about this?

Yup, same thing.  Told my mom to ignore and hang up if they call again.  Scammer

yes it is a scam , they say you have computer errors and problems in your soft ware and then try and sell you a AVG update.they got into my computer and where running my system, I backed out and shut the computer down, phoned my IT guy and he said they are a scam.
Change all your passwords immediately.
Man there is just no letting up with human perisites.
Pakies pungaby or what ever, if they focused on making their country a better place they would be able to have cold beer like the rest of the world eh!!!

Same happened to me, they must be scammers why would they want to know all this stuff?

Just got a call from them and I'm located in Montreal, Canada. I told the first guy ( who's english was awfull) that there was no way I would provide infos about my computer. After 10 min., he transfered me to another guy who was clearly more acertive and when I asked for their phone number, he gave me that 209 etc... I am not a computer expert, but for me , a legitimate technical support center must have a 1-800 or 1-866 toll free line for clients.

call me today

Same thing!! Very persistent and insists that they do not have 800's for Canada right now & says he is from the States and they only have 800 numbers for the States.  He is very insistent!!

I got a call from them today and they were very insistent -and rude  -I told them that I had no errors on my computer - they treated me very rudely -and told me to log on to  computer - I refused and asked for their number - I called them back and they hung up on me. What do they want????

What they want is remote access to your computer so they can rip you off.  Don't do it, just hang up on them!

Same thing happened to me. They initially called at 5am, identified themselves as Microsoft technicians and said I had a serious problem with my computer. When I wouldn't talk to them they called back at 6am. After being on the phone with them for 90 minutes and listening to how corrupted my files were and going through all the steps they asked me to they said I would need to register and pay $300. When I said NO they said I could pay $199 through PayPal. I to know very little about computers and was concerned that there was a serious problem but something just didn't feel right so I said NO again. They said they will call again tomorrow. GREAT!!!!!

I'm from Sherbrooke Québec and I also received a call from them... it's a scam indeed do not give any information!

209348959 most defs a scam. Manager gets mad at you for wasting his time if you don't protect your computer.

They just called & gave my husband the same bull@#%# corrupt file story!!  They were in our computer for about 5 min. What I need to know is...has anybody had an issue of identity theft regarding these worthless pieces of trash?  My husband did not give a credit card. I'm so concerned but I don't really know what to do.  Thanks for ANY help!!

I got a call from these guys and they were very insistent and would not take no.
This is a scam! Do not give any information and do not let them take control of your computer.  If you did already, add/change all account passwords immediately. Plus install a firewall and block incoming traffic to your computer without your permission.

Constructive feedback on where or how to report these m*?$%her f(*&*ers would be appreciated.  Too bad I can't drive there and have a chat face to face.  

Can we prevent others from being ''scammed''?
