November 23, 2012. They are still trying to get people to download their software to rip off all your credit card and banking information. Be aware and hang up.

If you are going to adopt westernised English names it would be more convincing if you created reviews that are written in clear, legible English,  otherwise we can only assume you that you are one of the scammers operating from an Indian call centre. Regardless of what you do, we all know this is a fraud, no one is going to believe a bunch of badly spelt testimonials - especially when other people on here have already indicated this is a scam.

I received a call from these people today. They are scammers trying to get into your computer... I just hung up on them, and I would encourage everybody to do the same. The sooner we stop them, the better!

Below is a copy n paste from another forum explaining the scam:-

I get these phone calls about one a week. Last time, I was ready for them: I had a machine set up with a clean XP installation, so I played dumb to see what they would do.

They pose as "Windows Support Centre", or suchlike, and say that they've been receiving reports from your computer that there's a problem. You'll probably be asked how old the machine is - however old it is, seemingly, you'll be told that the warranty on your Windows software has expired, or that you should have taken one out when you bought it. Then, you'll be talked though opening something called the Event Viewer, and shown a screen that contains a number of warnings and errors. They will tell you that this is serious, even to the extent that it's causing problems that might force your ISP to cut your connection and/or inform the police.

Let's stop here and make two points:

1. There may well be something called a "Windows warranty". However, I have been a Microsoft Partner for nearly a decade, and I've never heard of such a thing. I think we can assume that if such a thing existed, Microsoft would be sending me lots of information on how I can make money selling it. They haven't, because there isn't.

2. I've never seen an Event Viewer that didn't have warnings and errors, and I've been a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer since 1999. Its function is to keep a record of everything that happens to the operating system so that people like me can find out what's happening if something has gone wrong. Most of the time, though, there's nothing to be alarmed about - in my case, most of the warnings were due to a printer not being found on the network because I'd switched it off.

OK, so the next stage is that you get passed to the "Technical Department". This is where it got interesting: I was told that a six digit support number was being generated so that my problem could be resolved, and I was directed to a website called logmein123, where I could enter this number. Now, this is a common tool used by people like me to fix machines over the network - clients call me with a problem, I can connect to the machine and show them what to do without having to leave my office. In this case, they were going to "fix" my machine. So I let them in. At this point, we will pause for a warning:

WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME ON YOUR MACHINE. I WAS GIVING THIS GUY COMPLETE ACCESS TO MY COMPUTER. HE COULD DO ANYTHING HE LIKED, TRANSFER FILES TO INSPECT AT LEISURE, ETC. I WAS USING A MACHINE WITH NOTHING ON IT BUT THE OPERATING SYSTEM. REPEAT: DO NOT LET ANYONE YOU DO NOT KNOW AND TRUST ONTO YOUR SYSTEM IN THIS WAY.

The first thing was that as soon as he connected, I could see the IP address he was connecting from, and I was able to trace this back to a company name, and trace the company back to its offices in Mumbai. While I was doing this (on another machine), I was watching a rather nasty piece of software being uploaded to my machine and installed. A bit of fiddling around, and I was asked to try running a few programs. Lo and behold, they all crashed with frightening looking error messages - remember, this was a machine that was working perfectly a few minutes before. This was explained as a consequence of the problems that I was having before, and that the diagnostic program they were running was now blocking programs that could get me into trouble.

This was the point at which I was asked for money - they started at £100 to fix the problem I already had, with an additional £80 for a simple one year warranty to protect me in the future, or if I preferred, I could give them £299 for an all-in package including fix, anti-virus software and a five year warranty. Visa and Mastercard accepted. If I didn't want to go ahead, then I wouldn't be able to do anything with it until it was fixed.

At this point I let him know what I was doing, complete with telling him the name and address of the company he was working for. I expected him to hang up on me, but he decided to argue with me, at one point telling me that I wasn't an MCSE and I didn't know what I was talking about. In the end, I just told him that if he had been in this country, he could expect to be arrested, and hung up on him.

So, in summary, I wasted my time in this way so you don't have to. If these pirates call you, don't say a word. Just put the phone down.

hehe i asked them:do you need my visa card number? HE  said YES!!!hehehe didn't even ask him who are you...hehehe!!!SCAM!!!!!

Just got a call from a guy with a heavy accent saying that my Microsoft Update wasn't working properly and he needed to access my computer to fix the problem.  I told him I new this was a scam and I hung up.  He called back 5 times in 3 minutes, I just kept hanging up.  It was ridiculous.  This is one of the biggest scams out there, never let anyone who calls you out of the blue access your computer.  They are after your private information and you will live to regret it.

I receive a call this morning from telling me that there be a technician from Microsoft, but i don't think is't right
but the problem is that i let him goes in my computer. It was a saturday morning and I did'nt thing to mutch
before doing that.
I did'nt buy anything but I not sure that he put some program that can find some personnel information in my computer. I expect not.

2nd call from these people in 3 days.  No one on the line then a recorded voice says "goodbye".  Gah, I would at least like to get a real person so I could tell them off.

Yes, it is a scam.

good old ms scammers fron india

I just received the same call, but I let them do their blurp.  After a few questions, I said but sir I have a mac so why would microsoft be calling me.... lmao there was silence.  That is when i said to them Thank you for all your hot air:)

Calling to say that my computer was not accepting updates.  Representing themselves as microsoft techs.

Scam, Scam, Scam shame on you if you paid for any service.  These people have phoned me three times now.  First time I hung up.  Second time told them I owned a Mac and there was a long pause so I hung up.  The Last time they told me that my windows did not update properly I told them I just updated it and it is working fine. She said "you just updated it?" and sounded all confused. She was quiet for several seconds and didn't know what to say so I hung up.
Just read the "good reviews". bad grammar, common English names (almost as bad as porn names) and somehow always mention that it is the best company in the world or the service was efficient.  If it wasn't a scam then it wouldn't even have been mentioned once on this site.

This phone # came up on my phone as a missed call.  I called it - a lady with a thick accent informed she was representing Ceylon.  They were calling to provide tech assistance on my computer.  I then asked her, how would she know that I have a computer?  Her answer was, "We have data indicating so."  I then told her that I do not own a computer.  Her answer was, "Oh, there must be some mistake."  My reply was, "Are you trying to Scam me into something?"  She abruptly stated, "NO SCAM".  When I pushed the issue, she hung up.

I began the conversation with a request to remove my # from their call list - hopefully they remove it.

Did you also tell your friends how much of a scam this Ceylon organization is????
