8558885881

Got a call from a man who identified as being from "Ceylon Tech Support" claiming that I am not getting "Microsoft patches on [my] computer."  This took a few minutes because I could not understand what he was claiming at first.  Finally, I said to him, "What is my name?"  [Of course, he didn't answer that one].  He offered to give me his company's name and phone number, emphasizing that his company's name is registered.  I told him I was not interested and hung up.

Same thing - asked for the phone number - they told me that my computer wasn't being updated and they need access - I told them they were full of it and hung up.  What morons!

To the people here who say this is not a scam - come on, really?!  Even if they offer a legitimate service with a "real" website, the idea that anyone can divine non-existent error messages on my computer is ludicrous... only made more so by the idea that anyone with this power would be monitoring my boring computer activity. Passed their number on to the DoNotCall registry... maybe they'll get that callback they wanted from them.

no scam company provide their call back no,,,,,,,,the reason they took their fake name bcoz when an Asian person pronounce hes real name to western people then they won,t be able to understand properly ,,,and can you tell me did they ever told you that he/she calling you from microsoft corporation,,,,?  i think no ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,   so think twice before calling them a scammerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Ceylon tech support is a fake company everybody there are scammers,one of them called me and charged me $499.99 for 5 year tech support but nobody has given me any kind of service till date they even crash my computer,they don't knw anything about computers.I reported them to police they are not even giving my money back i have given them $499.99 from my savings it was so hurting and frustrating god will punish u

and CEO of that company is an indian his name is SOURAV GUPTA he is the biggest [***] and [***]

I had a similar call from someone claiming to be a 3rd party contractor for microsoft. microsoft was showing I was not getting updates (which was true, I was having problems). being frustrated, I agreed to let them have remote access. they ran thru team viewer which gave remote control then ran cmd tree and several others. then had me sign up for a 3 month coverage. it was billed to Rick Carter / Compfixo.

I didn't think anything of it until I received the same call, same procedure from someone else....

got a phone call from this number with a heavy accent guy advising me to go infront of my computer and follow his instruction,,,, asked him why and where he was from and he said he was from cylon tech support, which they were affiliated with microsoft and my computer was in danger and microsoft cannot send me updates over the online system since my computer is in danger.

FAKE FAKE FAKE.. why is he trying to remote access to my computer?

my computer is fine and they are just trying to scam you.  our company has own IT person who handles it.

Please don't fall for this kind of scam...

They are active again - I asked to be put on the do not call list and was told that it wasn't a sales call.  They "called to alert me to a problem with my computer".  I hope there aren't too many people that fall for this line.

I asked for the company name and was told "Ceylon Computer Services"  Located in Houston TX - It seemed odd to have such a heavy Indian / Hindi accent in Houston.  I told him to put me on the do not call list and asked if he understood my request and the US Federal laws about solicitation calls.  He thanked me for my time :-)

A scam.  My wife received two calls from "Max" at this number, had trouble understanding what he was asking so she just took down the number and left the note for me. I looked up the number and came across this website and some of the most entertaining reading I've had for a long time. Thanks!

These people operate from India under the name of Ceylon and charge accounts with names of Ceylon, Pronerd, Solutions Centric, Matrix Solutions, Ceylon and Compfixo. One of the agents working there said they are located at this address: Delta 1 Building, Giga Space IT Park, Viman Nagar,  Pune, Maharashtra 411014,
INDIA

You actually fell for the scam? And you claim that you're experienced with computer set up and configuration? I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you…

The post you are replying to was made in October 2012.  He could have built his own bridge by now!!

My friend Apu runs a convenience store here in Springfield and tells me that Ceylon-tech is 'very,very good".

Well your friend Apu is lying. Ceylon-Tech are just another bunch of fraudulent scammers. They are 'very, very good' at scamming people, but that is all.

They just called again for the 3rd time today and they use different numbers every time....from now on.....I'm talking w/them and making fun of them and just enjoying their disbelief....last time he asked me if I was joking with him and I said "Sure am"........He then called me a Mother-F-ing Loser and said F-you.....I said keep on talking I'm enjoying this....call me more often.....Heck nothing is working....this has been going on for about 6 months and is progressing worse and worse.  Maybe if we all do this, they will get frustrated and stop, or maybe I'll grab a cup of coffee and keep on listening till they get mad and hang up.

Received similar call as posted here.  Man with Indian accent calling saying he is from Microsoft and he is calling regarding my "windows computer."  When asked for more details, he continued to say, it is your "windows computer" and when I told him I do not have a windows computer and use Macs, he hung up.  Called back later to try again, I told him I do not have a windows computer and he said goodbye.  

The first time they called, the number was listed as UNKNOWN.  The second time the number came through as 855-888-5881.  

A man with a thick Indian accent called saying there was a problem with my Microsoft update. He asked me to go to my computer and press the "windows" key. When I informed him that my Mac doesn't have a windows key, he said he must have the wrong number and hung up.

He identified himself as Bruce with a heavy accent. He told me if I logged on I would notice my computer was not working. Interestingly I was using it when I got up to answer the phone

Someone from this # has called me twice in two days. Never left a message. When I try to call back, automated message speaks in a foreign language. Then hangs up. How very rude!
