213-260-2279

They purport to be from Microsoft Windows XP. Are they?

This is now claimed to be technical support with a group associated with two companies that appear to be running a scam! A guy from global consulting (aka-zoos.com, aka-Junkwiper.com) contacts my 80 year old father and is offering to fix his computer, he gets an original email from admin@junkwiper.com, and pays for them to fix his computer. Then he is switched over to a second company for his follow up maintenance ( hence the companies listed above). They screwed up his computer and left it running with a modified configuration.sys file. Then hit him with a second bill for two hundred dollars. They are associated with this 213-260-2279 and another number they use at 212-401-2989. Now they won't do anything for him because he stopped payment on his card...

Ps.  If you look at the numbers the 212-401-2989 number is listed as Zooz.com .....? Not a company listed for home computer service.......

There is more information, but this is as much as I will disclose.

Cld and sold me Microsoft Security Essentials.  Said they were 24 hr support for Microsoft.  Now I'm skeptical.  please help.  Thank you.

this so called company called me about fixing computer problems. the caller was obviously from India. I stupidly allowed him to take over my computer. he found numerous problems with the performance. I thought he was from a company calling itself "customercare@globalserversupport.com" from whom I purchased repair services  last  November. This was to cover a years service. this company (?) gave me a contact as: syscare247  technical department toll free no. 888-882-7930 Robert Harriss employee 101 extension no :7710. I did not give him an order as I suspected something was wrong. what he proposed to do i think i accomplished successfully making some changes using the "performance monitor". if these people are running a scam they should be prosecuted. I now think the company I dealt with last November was a fraud also.  

caller identified himself as John Riechapton from SIS CAT and stated I needed to be on my computer to fix a problem.  This is a scam.  Wondering how he got my number and wish someone could finally trace this source and but an end to their scam ring.  I have received at least 3 calls from different callers this month.  I asked for information and the caller stated "why do you want my name, do you want to marry me?"  I asked for a call back number and he had to look it up.  I told him that he should know his own number.  The call back number he gave was 213 260 2279.

Persistently calling my retired mother and claiming that her computer is having issues even though I just gave her a newer machine with Win7 that I built for her and had on the network for four months before installing it at her place a week ago.  I installed MacAV from the start so MSFT essentials is not needed and I always turn off all the customer improvement experience  so I think the machine change is a total coincidence.  May just call him up and record the conversation and file a complaint with the state since my mom is on the do not call registry and in this state, we can collect $500 bucks from these scammers.

MSFT essentials is a free download from MSFT and fully supported by MSFT via updates.  I've never heard of anyone being legitimately charged for it and it's probably illegal to 'sell' it.

Received call on my I Phone.  No name shows up, so I blocked number

I just received an identical call. Same person, phone number, etc. The caller ID  read Croushore Hayes 215-855-3647. He tried to intimidate me into believing I had many hackers on my ip address. I did not give him access to my computer or any other information. He was very persistent and threatening that my computer would be in "big trouble" if I didn't do what he said. I asked what the end result would be to fix the problem...ultimately you would have to buy an  "anti-hacking" file for $149. When I tried the phone number he gave me he picked up right awry without me dialling the extension. I hung up and he called me right back, going on and on about why I needed to follow his advice. I told him to stop harassing me and hung up.

This number called 4 times today over a thirty minute time frame. First two times we let the machine get it but no message was left. I answered the third time. Then they called the 4th time but no one said anything. Funny thing is he said our computer was infected and we don't even have a computer anymore because it really did break and we haven't bought a new one. Obviously they are lying. Man has a strong accent and its hard to understand him. Caller id said Croushore Hayes.

In my case I contacted them as I was having a problem and two other groups couldn't fix it. All companies wanted money of various amounts.  They have continued to call my house most the times I would not answer as I didn't know the caller #. But this last time they said they were giving me a refund I questioned  at length what was going on and would I be protected, after much back and forth I gave in and we proceeded to do the paperwork to make this happen.  Shortly after all this I received a call from Western Union asking if I had authorized a transfer of $300 to Panama. No was my answer. I was getting call from the service insisting to let Western Union to transfer monies. After  many calls from WU I called my cards services only to find out many attempts were made to hack my accounts. I cancelled my cards and inform the so called tech person (Mark) to go run up a rope. These calls were coming from all over the country. They are implying they represent Dell
Without a doubt they are scamming and need to be stopped.

They just called me. Man with Indian accent and with broken english, said he was with technical support. TOTAL scam criminal. It was so obvious, I played along (was a bit bored).

He tried to get me install some hacking tools on my computer. :) Couldn't believe the gall of this outfit. No shame. I'm terribly disappointed that they are successul in duping innocent people, since it's so incredibly obvious they are criminals.

Anyways, I got him to tell me his name 'George' and told him I had to call him back and needed his phone number. He scoffed, but I persisted. I asked to speak to his supervisor - and he did! A minute later a man with a deep voice (pretty sure it was George - ha!) got on the line and I told him that George was very helpful, but I needed to call him back. He gave me the phone number 213-260-2279. I told him I didn't recognize the area code and he said Los Angeles. I tried to get the name of the company but he just kept mumbling something unintelligible.

Well, I said goodbye and hopped on here.

My recommendation for anyone with the time and resources - track down and prosecute these criminals.

SEPTEMBER 2018 MAJOR UPDATE!

Apparently, as of April 2018, in a desperate last-bid attempt to sway public opinion, Swadesh Softwares and its local Indian subcontinent affiliates (who at this point are so numerous, they are no longer trustworthy) are going berserk on Google trying to stuff the top Google search results with false information on multiple internet platforms to make it appear as if the company is still legitimate. It tries really hard to and I can only wish that it can be said that the company has rivals, but the truth is, it is a SCAM company that earns money through financial victimization. Please be on the lookout for false information on multiple online media platforms from fake personas like "Henry Higley", "Jack Higley", and "GoWebbi". These forged online posts may include hashtags, links to their own propaganda, improper English, and unwieldy layouts. All these scammers do is refer to their own self-generated content to boost their own lies. Once again, do not fall for this false online influence campaign. They are still going to call you aggressively without solicitation, take your hard-earned cash, and mess with your computers. They operate out of India and you will NOT get your money back.
