A man with a thick Indian accent claimed to be Frank Smith, from Windows Tech Support. He hung up when I asked what city he was calling from. This is the second time in a week an Indian man has called, claiming to be from Windows, the last number was 999-910-0238. Serious scam here.

Caller had very thick middle eastern accent. Said he was from "windows" to tell me I have a virus. And he is calling to clear it up for me. Asked to speak to supervisor, another man with same accent came on and insisted I just need to turn on my computer and give him the information he asks for while he fixes it.
Hung up.
First of all windows in not a company name
They only had limited English. Really wanted me to just turn on my computer and tell me the name it is registered to!!
Did not understand me telling them I could not understand their accent just repeated what they wanted me to do.
Scam alert.

I think this was a bogus call. Pretty creeped now. Said he wasfrom windows or Dell and said our ccomputer was high risk. Explained it was after 11 p.m. and the computer was off. He proceeded to tell us to go turn it on and he would give promps to fix it. This website says it is a different company and in PA. Does not make sense!

I just had the same call from that number they are trying to gain access to computers by saying windows is sending them an error message and they can fix it. Don't fall for it. This is a scam big time. When I questioned them they said they were in Texas but this is a number from the COUNTRY of Georgia. Beware.

Caller claimed to be calling from Windows Technical Dept. I was entirely sure this was a scam. Seeing as how he wanted to gain remote access to my computer while there is nothing legitimately wrong with it.

Same call happened to me about 10 minutes ago and I decided to look him up too. Same phone number also. He had an Indian accent, saying that he was from Microsoft and said that there was a problem on my computer that I was not aware of. I said I was not interested and he remarked with something like don't blame us if you computer crashes. I hung up and found this website.

This guy said he was calling from "Windows." Said they had received remote information about "bad things" that were downloaded on my computer when I was online. Wanted me to go to www.ammyy.com -- where they wanted free remote desktop access to my computer. I kept doubting this guy was calling from Windows. He spent a great deal of time trying to convince me otherwise. He even gave me a second number -- 804-435-5332 -- which I could call between 6pm-7pm to verify their identity! This is really, really scary.

They are a scam - they say they are calling from Windows (not Microsoft) and try to convince you that your IP address is sending error messages to their computer and they need you to perform some steps on your computer - dead give away as they could barely speak English. We ignored the calls at first - only stopped once we answered and told them we did not believe them.

Call is an attempt at computer fraud and a scam.
Caller claimed to be from Windows Technical Support, (209) 779-5007
located at 102 East New York Street, Aurora, IL 60505

Caller asked me to download software onto my computer which would have allowed them to take control of my computer. Call is an attempt at computer fraud and a scam. "Windows" does not call customers nor direct them to alter their computers. Numerous complaints on this number are documented on the web.

Got a call from this number and he said he was from windows tech support. He's claiming that the computer was hacked and if I don't fix it, it will crash. He said his name was Eddie Gonzales which is like a Latino name but he sounded completely like an Indian so it doesn't make any sense. He asked me to press windows key + R and so I did and open the eventviewer application. He sounded suspicious because he's repeating that it will crash down but it seems nothing is happening to the computer. I just told him that i'll call him back and I call the company where I bought the network software and they said that it might be a scam.
