A man with an Indian accent tells me he is calling about a problem with my Microsoft computer and tells me that if I will go to my computer he will guide me through fixing the problem. In an attempt to get rid of him, I said I already had the information and he should stop calling. He became argumentative. I said I was going to file harassment charges and hung up. He was not a nice guy. We have received at least a dozen of these calls in the past few weeks, sometimes 3 in an evening.

I received an email stating my computer did not have the necessary software protection and that I could purchase some through DigiSupportPros.  I was later contacted by a representative of the "company" who told me I needed to contact my bank to authorize payment for the software.  I contacted my bank, who told me the money was set to be sent to Panama, which is why they did not authorize the payment and blocked any further requests from this "company."

I received a call stating that they were from Microsoft and that I had a problem with my computer .I knew I did so that's why I believed them. They showed me my bank acc. and one account from a stock that I have.

So when I went to the bank they said if they could show you all of that then you need to change everything .

So I went a head and changed everything but one other I am still working on that one .

Received a call from a caller, David Phillips, 315-215-0290, who said they were from microsoft and that the my computer had hackers trying to access. They said they could install anti-virus to fix the problem. They said it would cost $120., payable by debit card, for a service warranty and for them to fix the problem right away. They were very intense and convincing. I paid the $120 with a debit card. I gave the caller remote access to my computer. They installed a new anti-virus. I then discovered they had taken $264.00 instead. When I said I wanted my money back, caller said they could not credit a debit card but if I would give them his savings account number, they could deposit it into my savings account. I gave them my savings account #. The caller then used that information to withdraw $2,640.00 from my checking account, they then deposited $264 into the consumer's account to make it look like they kept their promise and refunded my money, keeping the remaining funds. I also spoke with someone named Jacob, 336-308-4890, during this process.

I received a phone call from a NY cell number(516-635-4085) from a foreign sounding voice saying they were from Microsoft technical support, asking for access to my computer because of some software error. I know this is a scam since I have no Microsoft based software on my computers.

I was trying to download the free offer for Windows 2010. I experienced some computer issues while trying to download there program. I called Microsoft @ 1-888-237-4899 a spoke with a representative who asked for permission to access my computer. I gave him access to my computer only to find that he was retrieving my computer files. After I exit out of his support me program. I experienced computer problems such as a screen saying that there was suspicious activated on my computer and not to close my browser or shut my computer down. I would like to know why he was retrieving my personal file information and not resolving my issue to install Windows 2010. I received a phone call minutes later from a representative located in Texas. There was a really loud eco in the background of the phone call, so I disconnected the phone call. The phone number is 1(469) 399-5939 located in Texas.
