451-667-5888 Windows is broken, this guy is gonna fix it.  I invited him over for dinner when his visa clears.  He didn't think he could make it...Name was Dale, very cunning...

Guy with Indian accent calls and says Windows Security sees that I have issue with laptop that needs to be fixed because something malicious is on it. I say I do not have a service account with them. He says I got it when I bought computer, says  need to go into laptop to check ID number, which only Windows has, so they can fix it for me .. . .

I asked where he was located and he said Salt Lake City. I asked his phone number and he gave me 952.467.6389, which I called on my cell while talking on a hard line, It was a voice mail to a woman in Minnesota. I told him we were done.

Tel No:    451-667-5888
Caller ID: Name Unavailabl
Probable: SCAM ARTISTs...

Called stating there was a problem with Windows operating system; hackers could get in and steal info and/or computer will crash.  Kept asking if I was in front of computer, wanting  me to turn on computer so he could fix. Tried to get more info on who he was and WHY he was calling. Said company calling from was Windows Service Center (no such thing & never mentioned Microsoft), in Salt Lake City and that was trying to fix the problem with my computer. Told him to give me Web link where I could check for myself and download any patches or fixes for the problem, this is how companies usually provide solutions to known problems with their products. He told me there was no fix I could do myself. That's when I knew for sure this was a SCAM. Like Microsoft is really going to personally call every Windows user to fix their operating system free of charge! Asked him what version of Windows had this supposed problem (since he claimed to know so much about my operating system), just rattled off all versions. Told him I was going to investigate the supposed problem and if one was found, would take care of myself. He asked me to call back on (952)967-6389 and have call transferred to him, Alex.

Called back number in my caller ID: Number can not be reached as dialed. Called call back number: Got voice mail stating number belonged to someone with last name Clark. BOGUS SCAM ARTIST - WARN EVERYONE! Very convincing and patient, answering and responding to questions which usually will make most scammers hang up.

They call from time to time.  This time they started calling at 7:00 A. M.!  Coincidentally, this was the first time in years I had slept straight through the night, so I was really angry and yelled at them.  They continued calling until I answered and repeatedly said "hello?"  over and over like I couldn't hear them.  The guy finally said "are you kidding me, ma'm?" and then finally hung up.  This phone number only showed up the first time, when a female called, after that it was "unavailable" and "unknown number".  If they call back, I plan to blow a really loud whistle in the phone.  What jerks.  Like I am really so dumb that I am going to believe that the technical department of Windows is going to call me?
Caller: Technical Dep't of WIndows

Same routine...but they use multiple numbers...be aware of calls from the number above, 979-764-2811, 723-492-5667, & 207-598-4867. Same spiel used every time. Blocked & reported to DNC Registry...but if I am on DNC, why do these scammers still call? Has the DNC fallen off the grid?!

4/25/14 I got called only being older & not computer savvy he talked me into letting him fix my computer. Later he said it would only cost $349 for a lifetime fix to all my computers. By that time it was too late. When I wouldn't type in my name for him he got mad & told me my computer & URL would be locked up forever & I could never even get another computer to work at my home. I hung up on him & turned my computer off. Later that evening I tried to turn my computer on & sure enough it was locked up. It askes for a password which I don't have & won't let me get on. I'm sending this from my cell phone. Don't be stupid like I was.

Sorry you got scammed - tough lesson for you.  I had 3 calls yesterday in a short period  (plus 5 more from other numbers).  Never answer calls from unknown numbers.  If they are legit, they'll leave a message.  If you don't have call display, get it!  Well worth any price.  Hopefully, "older" is now a little wiser....

PS - I am also older - older than dirt!

My sister got hosed by these clowns and wrecked her PC. I just received a call from them but didn't answer it because I never answer unidentified #s. So I Binged 451 667 5888 to read what others say about this #. Sire enough it was the Microsoft Windows Service Center scammers. They have called me dozens of times before but I'm wise to their crap and sometimes I give them hell and tell them I know what they are up to and say I'm going to tell everyone I know about them. You should too. Spread the word people.

Called me several times, never left messages.  Phone disconnected when I tried to call back. Most likely a scam.

Got a call from 451.667.5888, and the lady on the other end said she was from the Windows Security Center and asked if I was currently on my laptop (I wasn't). "Yes!" I said. "Ok ma'am, do you see the button that says C-R-T-L on your keyboard? I need you to push that button with one of your fingers..." "Which one?" I asked "Ma'am, it doesn't matter, push the control button, and then see the button next to the control button?" "Uh-huh" "Ok ma'am, push and hold down that button too, and push and hold down the letter R" "Uh-huh" "Ok ma'am, what do you see now?" "Uh... A window!" "Yes, ma'am and what does the window say?" "I don't know I can't read!" I say exasperated. "Ma'am, you can't read?" "No, I can't read, I'm completely illiterate." "Ma'am, are you joking with me?" "No! I can't read! Should I give you my credit card information now?" *Click!* hahah! I love messing with them :-D that's what you get for calling me on a school night after my bed time! Can't wait for them to call back so I can use my next ruse... "I did it... But there's blood everywhere. Now what?" Click! Muahahahaha!!
