9025678434

20:33 hours pacific standard time a call came from the same person as listed above. I have had the caller before. When I told him I did not own a desktop computer, or a laptop, he got very upset.
As everyone in our household has a cell phone we never use the home phone line. I know when it rings it's going to be fun. I have turned numbers in to the no call list, nothing happends. I guess it's like everything else. Honest people care, Dishonest don't.

Got a call from this number, a man with an extremely heavy accent claimed he was with Information Technologies and that my computer line had been broken and I could get a virus. I told him our business has IT people that support us and we also have virus software and he said it has nothing to do with that. He tried to get me to open up Event Viewer on my computer, I hung up on him. He called back and I asked what company he was with, he said "the people who support Windows XP" didn't give me a name. I told him I don't want his help, my computer is not compromised and to stop calling. Hung up and he didn't call back.

A guy with an Indian sounding accent called from 902-567-8434 and the display said Nova Scotia.  Told me he was from Global Security Tech and working for Microsoft and that my PC had some virus and he was going to help me remove it.  Wanted me to press the Windows key and the R key to tell him what I saw.  Said that another technician would then be able to help me remove it.  I told him to hold and did a quick search and found this:

Later I found this site which seems to confirm my suspicions.

My friend in Arizona just got a call to go to login4speed.com. It is a scam. I found this on the 4th link searching for login4speed:

It links to this article:

The caller gave a return phone number of 877.623.9180. The caller ID came up as 902.567.8434
Even when we called them on being a scam, they denied it and gave her public address/phone number as some sort of confirmation.

I feel bad for people who panic and don't use google-fu!

What did he say? My computer has a problem?  Please don't call meI am busy and screening calls just makes my day longer!! What is the scam?  Did not give info. Called back a couple of days later: NO ANSWER HERE!!

What a laugh.  They told me they had information about my computer from Windows, and they were working for Windows (not Microsoft, mind you, Windows) They had me open up Event viewer to find all the warnings and errors in there.  I kept them on the phone for 10 minutes, asking them who was their contact at Microsoft, and what information about my computer they had, and where they got it from.  The whole time, it was we have information from logs, your computer is broken, you are not secure.  

They offered the errors and warnings on my computer as proof that they had real data.

They eventually asked me to go to a website to allow a technician to connect to my computer and fix it for me.  I can only imagine what they would have installed on it, and what information they would try to steal from the drive.  I was laughing too hard to hang up.

but my wife answered anyway. fortunately she knows virtually nothing about computers and told the person on the other end to call back. I can't wait until he does, plan on having a little (a lot) of fun at his expense.

This jerk with an Indian accent  claimed to be from Microsoft, calling to warn that I had a "computer infaction" and needed his services to correct it!  What a pitiful scammer.

got 2 calls from this # late evening.  I did'nt answer, no message.

Received the call in Reno, NV 6/15. Heavy accent telling me I had a virus in my computer from updates received tha same morning. I told him he was full of it and he hung up. It showed the call from Sydney NS/Novia Scotia

I got a call from this number Saturday 18 June. As I am in the UK I was surprised to be getting an international call.
Similar to others, a woman with a very heavy accent told me I had a virus and my computer was flashing red on the internet. After about a minute or so of mumbo jumbo I gave up and terminated the call

Don't know who but caller id revealed this number plus country code 44 received same call 4 hours later except this time had the country code of 65. Received similar call 1 week ago without anything in the caller ID. Informed me my computer was infected and that they worked for Microsoft to remedy the problem. I hung up.

Same drill, but call every hour! going as late as 10pm! Do Not Call Registry no good. Filed with FCC. Slimey creeps. 902-567 8434

Received a call with similar "script" other's have reported.  Said he was an IT technician and that I had a virus on my computer, which I don't.  After diconnecting from him, I tried to call the number and received a recording that the number is not is service.  It's disgusting.

got the same type of phonecall in PHX tonight

Keep getting calls from this number. The name Syney shows up on the caller ID

Call from this number received 6/27/11 4 p.m MST.  Caller had such a thick accent that he was difficult to understand.  Once I could decipher what he was saying, I told him I have a computer person to look into this for me (which I do).  He just repeated his initial warning that I had some sort of virus and I repeated that I would look into it.  He hung up.

Same thing happened to me just 40 minutes ago. A guy with indian accent called me and said that he is calling from microsoft and that my computer had malware and viruses on it which made is slow.

Me smelling a rat and computers being one of my hobbies told him that i have antivirus and that my computer runs like a swiss clock. He then said that i cannot detect it but that malware is actually there. So i decided to play the game i asked him how he got my phone number and how he knows that my computer has malware? he then said that microsoft recieves this information and that when there are errors etc microsoft gains this info. Then i said that this is not possible since microsoft keeps these files confidential and that there is no way that he could have gotten my phone number and Information regarding my computer from microsoft which in case of errors with windows only gets the "code" of error and they fix it in next patch update which they release for download.

He then stopped talking for 3-4 seconds and continued to assure me that he is from microsoft and asked me to open control panel etc...then i cut him off told him that i have recorded his conversation, his phone number and location which am gonna reported to Australian Federal Police and that he is gonna end up in jail getting [***] in the [***] by buch of black men with [***] size of human leg.

He then "professionally" told me to [***] off and slammed the phone... hehe

Dont fall for these guys, same goes with some other guy that called me to tell me taht my bank account was paying to many fees and that he could help me fix my bank account. Again indian accent did not say his name, phone had bad reception and he called around 8:30PM!!! ... all banks and services close at 5:00PM. So dont fall for scams.

We were told that our computer was sending error messages to their server. My husband is a computer geek, so we played. First, we made them explain in excruciating detail how to do things like find the windows symbol and explain what it means to right or left click on the mouse. Then my husband started instructing me, having me ask very technical questions about IP numbers and routing stuff. They hung up on us. LOL!

Hung up after my hello.
