Suggest that you go to some other phone (like a work phone & NOT yours) and call this number. See what slithers out of the bushes.

Thanks to the phone teckies who invented caller id and *69 & *67.

My mom got a call a couple of times from this number.  When talking with someone, the person said they work for "Internet Explorer" and want to walk her through how to remove some harmful files from her computer.  Thankfully she was quick enough to get with her son who is willing to research this.

I have received two calls from this company, saying that we have unwanted files on our computor, not a virus, and that they can talk me through some process to take them off. They said that my McAfee wouldnt be able to take them off because they are in my machine and my computor will crash..they said they are from windows xp, vista, and windows 7. This doesnt sound legitmitate to me..

Staff member got a call from this number, Bogus caller claimed that worker was downloading files without approval.
Caller was confronted as to what he wanted and coward hung up
Caller was attempting to get staff to connect to a website with unknown results.
Most likely was going to invoke a remote session in the attempt to gather or steal information from computer system.
If someone calls you without you asking for computer assistance, DO NOT do anything they ask you to do.
Software support staff to not call you to help you, you call them.
BEWARE OF THIS NUMBER, it may cost you more than expected.

It is a scam. You have no issues with your computer. I told them I do technical support for computers (which I do) and they hung up.

1-212-000-3459 is a phone number you cannot call back.  The 000 is not an allowable prefix.  What a scammer.  The triple 0 in the local prefix slot is all you need to know.  If you can't call them back, they're not local, and you don't want to deal with them.  Potential scam.

receivd call from this number-didnot ans,-thanks tocaller id

At 3pm CT my office phone rang. The caller ID showed New York 1-212-000-3459. As soon as I answered the call...he started right in. A thick Indian accent telling me that he was calling me because my window 7, xp, or me computer had issues. His name was Nigel Wright from One Stop Solutions. (I had this call before and knew exactly what it was) He asked if I had a computer...his call volume wasn't very loud so I thought I would "play with" guy a little. I said Nigel...you are very faint...you will need to speak up. He tried and it was a little better. I interrupted him again and said "Nigel" are you using a headset to talk to me?" He said "yes I am". I said well you are still very faint...you need to pick up and use your handset. He fumbled a little and picked up the handset. He was still a little faint..but decided to let him move on. He started again saying that Chaska (the city I live in) told them that 20% of the computers in the city has issues. I interrupted him and asked him to clarify...I responded "You are telling me that my City call you and said my PC had a problem>" he said "yes they did...in fact they said 70% of the computers had issue (interesting that the percentage increased from 20% to 70%)....he continued...and I interrupted him again and asked to clarify his name..."you said it was Nigel" and " you are from India"...he told me that he worked for a outsourced company ...bla bla bla...so I interrupted him and asked him what city he was in...he said India. I said no...what city....I said "I have employees that work in Hyderabad and Bangalore (two cities in India)...he stumbled for a bit and finally said Calcutta (Kolkata) muttered some more and said Mumbai...ok so  I let him continue. I knew the next step was to take me into the Administrative Event Viewer...but I let him tell me how to get there. He said " I will take you there with the keyboard...do you see the c t r l key (spelling out the letters). I told him that I didn't see a c t r l key but I did have a control key (yes is know the CTRL  key is the control key) but it was fun to play with him. We got into the log file via the event manager. He asked me if a saw a "red circle with a cross in it" I said no but I see a red circle with a "!" (Exclamation mark) in it. He "what's that" ...know that he wanted me to say it says "error" next to it....I said and exclamation mark is a vertical line with a period under it. he again said what is it...I said...do you mean the red circle...he said yes....I said a red circle is like square, except that the corners are round and it has the color red inside. (I know he wants me to say "error" as that is what the icon is for...but I won't do it. We go thru the red circle scenario a couple of times...and he switches tactics and asks if I see a yellow triangle with a cross in it. I say sure...he asks "what is it". I say do you mean the yellow triangle? and he said yes...what is it. (I know he wants me to say error...but I won't). I answer his and say a yellow triangle is a shape that has three sides, has a flat bottom and a point at the top. He said right, what is it? So again I say...a yellow triangle is like a square with the top line removed and the side pushed to the center until the line meet and form a point and it has the color yellow in it. We do this dance a couple of times and again he changes tactics and askes me "are there a lot of them?" I ask "what is a lot?" He replies "like 20 or 30 of them." I waited a couple of seconds and exclaimed "good grief...there must be over 200 or 300 of them!!!" Of course this thrilled him. I am sure that he must have felt that he finally made a connection with me...for sure I would understand that my PC was totally infected. He then told me that because I had so so many infections...he would have to transfer me to a "senior technician" because he could only fix 20 - 30 issues. The phone fumbles a couple of time and Tony Wright (note the last name) gets on the call. He begins to read his prepared script and I interrupt him. I say..."Tony, Tony...is your name Tony Wright?" He says "Yes it is" and gets ready to start again...but I interrupt him again and say "Tony Wright, so are you the brother of Nigel?" He is confused so I ask him again "Are you the brother of Nigel?" He is confused still so I say "You and Nigel have the same last name of Wright." He now understands and says he is not Nigel's brother. I say..."Oh you just have the same last name." He says yes and starts his script again...I interrupt again and ask him "is Wright a very common name in India" He is confused and not sure where to go with that and tries to start his script again...I let him continue on. He asks if I see all the issues listed in my "event viewer" again I exclaim "Yes! There are hundred of them!!" He begins again..but of course I interrupt him again...and say "you mean these ones in the "log file"...he says "yes, do you know what they are?"  he asks again. I say do you mean what a log file is...so I proceed to tell him what a log file is. "A log file is the file to which a computer system writes a record of its activities." He isn't sure what to do with that answer and is silent a bit more....so I say "you know, a log file where applications also write information about the processes it is running and also places a record of any errors or excepts is has as it processes the computer application code." Again he not sure what to say next...so I say " did you also know that a computers OS...I mean "Operating System" (I say that very slow emphasizing each syllable...He starts to say something. but I begin to interrupt him again...but I never get any farther because he finally hangs up the call on my.    Not bad I was able to keep them on the phone for about 45 minutes. The longest I kept one of these guys on the phone was 4.5 hours (it was a support person from AOL). You can thank me that by keeping them on the phone for 45 minutes....it meant that they could call you during that time! You are Welcome

Can't stop these calls even after them " i don't own a computer "  They don't get it.  Call every day, including weekends.  Answering maching is full.  Do Not Call is a joke.

Awesome story!  Wish I knew more about computers then I'd pick up this call and play with them too.  Thanks for the laughs.

Seem this is from local scam artist...calls from India call center had been stop.
Look like they got the voters-list..it's illegal to obtain such document, not to say to use it for other purposes.

I am tired of getting calls from this number. It sounds like an Indian man who claims to help me with my computer. I did NOT call him nor do I want any help. How can I report this scam ???

I too had a little fun with the same call.  I've been programming computers for a good while know the ins and outs of one and when the guy tried to tell me it was one of my computers that were infected that Windows sent them my information to contact them which I know doesn't happen I asked which one I have 9 of them so I would need the product key to know which computer he was speaking of so that I could solve the issues with it, so I played along and asked what version of Windows it was since I have several versions and he told me Windows 7 that narrowed it down to 3 of them 2 with the same and one is the Ultimate so I continued on and he gave me some key and I told him that doesn't match any of the product keys I have.
