989-621-5106

Received call from "Microsoft technical support" at almost 10 p.m., said that I had a security problem with my computer.

Got a call at 9:50 p.m. on Sunday night from 989-621-5106. Caller ID said it was from Mt. Pleasant, MI. The caller, an Asian-sounding woman, started talking about "Windows" before he hung up.

Call claiming he was from Windows stating I had a security breach on my Windows computer.  He hung up once I said I ran all Linux machines.

Called my house at 7:40 am saying they were  from Windows and we had a problem. I told the "Indian' sounding fellow he had a problem and hung up. How stupid do they think we are?

I have received a couple calls from this number with person with "Indian accent" "babbling" something about being from "Windows".... and that my PC was sending out msgs and was likely "infected"... I informed the caller that I record all calls, I  asked what company he was from and finally he said from UTH based in London.  I asked what IP address they were monitoring that they said is from my PC (of course they could not provide this info)... I asked if they had contact info from US... He stated YES and provided me the following phone number.  510-926-9043.  I asked him to repeat it (even thought I had already written down the first number).  The next number he provided was 510-926-9047.  I told him I was going to conf them in.  He wanted to take control of my PC first (which I stated was not going to happen until I conferenced in his US contacts),  Then when he heard the dial tones and the phone ringing, he hung up.  I would love to nail these guys... Total scam... I am sure if I allowed control of my PC they would load real "Virus" software.  If anyone wants the actual call and may be able to track down the user based on info they provided I would be willing to share the audio file with you... My best guess is they are somehow associated with the 510-926-90xx number (tracked to Verizon Wireless Cell service in Berkeley California).  I was not going to pay for a report that would list the current owner of 510-926-90 (43 or 47) but if someone else has "free" access to this data I would be curious who owns those numbers.  That would be a good place to start since I took him by surprise and he was quick to repeat the 510-926-90 (but hesitated with the last 2 digits)...

This person called us twice today, at 4:32 PM and 8:00 PM. My experience has been that calls with the name of a city and state are scams. Did not answer, and the person calling did not leave a message. This number is now blocked.

I had two calls this AM from this number claiming that I had a problem with my Windows Computer transmitting large files.  My computer was not turned on at the time and I told the Indian sounding man to not call my number in the future.

Someone with a foreign (Indian/Pakistan) accent called at 11 pm 4/3/2014 requesting that I "RUN: EVENTVWR" Person claimed to be calling from UK. I requested the he call back tomorrow.

Just got a call from the number  foreign accent.  He stated was Microsoft tech.  Then asked your computer on right? I stated to him I don't think that is any of his business.  Said bye I could hear him saying maam maam. Hurried and short down both my computer and windows surface. These people are crazy. Gonna call Microsoft and report to them.

Got a call at 11:00pm on a Wednesday from 989-621-5106 Mt. Pleasant MI. An eastern Indian man was telling me I had an infected computer. I first asked him if he knew that it was 11 at night and if he were from windows they would not be so stupid to call me knowing the time in my area.  I also told him I would call windows in the morning. He starts to yell at me that he is from windows.  I asked him why the hell was he yelling at me and he said because your computer is infected.  Told him to remove my number and hung up.  

Got a call from this number today, came through as a cell phone number from state of MI, Asian sounding women.  She said my computer was sending out errors, and I responded with, you found my computer it was stolen?  She said how could I have found it, I am not the police.  I said ok, well I am tracing this line.....she immedialty hung up.  LOL......that will teach you!!

It is 6:50 am here in AZ & I just got the same call from a man with an Indian accent, I gave him no information, told him I knew he was a lying hacker and told him not to call back. I believe I'll be sending an email out to all my friends & family & posting a warning regarding this to my fb page.

I was called around 8 pm and this east indian man started hurriedly talking about a "virus" that was in our computer relating to microsoft office at first but changed the story after we repeated it back to him! and he started rambling on with little depth. microsoft office!? really? thats impossible! total scam, we assured him he was wrong and hung up.

Geez - after 10 pm man with Indian accent called from  989-621-5106, who was clearly in a call center (lots of noise of people talking in the backgrond) with same story of being from Microsoft telling me that my computer is infected. I listened for a minute incredulously, and when he finished with requesting that I go to my computer and work with him to fix the virus, and I said nothing, he said, "ma'am? ok ma'am?" I told him in a very sad voice how sorry I am for him to have to be doing this job, that no one from Microsoft would be calling me after 10 pm nor would they operate that way to fix any technical problem - virus or other, and that I am quite offended that whoever hired him would think people would be so gullible as to let a stranger have access to their computer without knowing them. He actually persisted, trying to convince me of his legitimacy. What do people get paid to do this kind of thing? This is a sad, sad realization for me that this operation exiists. Sigh.

Caller, heavy Indian accent, claims to represent MS Window tech support calling in response to reported problems with computer.  Wants to install software to combat Malware.  Sales pitch follows.  They are most definitely not associated with Microsoft.

I've gotten two calls this week, after 10PM, with a woman with an Indian-sounding accent saying she's calling from "Windows".  I told her to remove me from their list (in any case, I've "blocked" their number from being able to call me again).
