Claimed i was owed a refund on previous expense for tech help. Did use tech help twice. insisted they take over my computer and I should sign into my bank so they could send me money, then my screen goes black. They send a confirmation of money put in by my printer, still can't see bank so do not know what is going on. Then it's they gave me too much money, I have to go get them gift cards to pay them back! Manage to see my accounts to find they just transferred $ from one of my accts to another and never gave me anything.

Extricated my self, removed their softwares put into my computer, disconnect online and leave as such unless i am using it. Did not send them any money!

They can't get back into my accts as they do not have the password, though I did wire money out to another financial institution just in case.

On Saturday, 6/2/18, I received this voice mail: "does license key please call 855-232-2382. Let me repeat. This is a very important call to notify you that your Microsoft Windows license key has been expired on your computer. So Microsoft Corporation has stopped the Windows Services in your computer. To renew the Microsoft Windows license key please call 855-232-2382. I will repeat 855-232-2382. Thank you."

I used an internet company for computer help a couple of months ago. It charged me almost 300 dollars after saying 49.99. They've called me again, and told me they are shutting down and they want to issue me a refund, and I need to be at my computer for them to remove the software they installed or my computer would become locked. The first time they called it was unknown number, second time, they got a local number and called. 1 519 254 2391 I have blocked that number. They are Indian

This number keeps calling me telling me they are from Microsoft and they want access to my computer. They called me 8 times in one day. I called them to take me off there calling list, and they would use bad language towards me.

Call started with a list of numbers (turned out to be part of phone number)- 2175063. Then said it was in regard to security software installed last year, and they see a red flag and see a security breach on it. Said to call 1-866-217-5063.

It was a female automated voice.

I did not call back, so don't know what would have happened next.

I was on my computer when a red pop up appeared telling me do not close or shutdown my computer that a virus had taken over and I must call the number on the screen. I called the number and spoke to Sandra. She wanted control of our computer and passwords and I told her that I would need to get that information from my wife when she got home from work. She asked that I call her back, but I have no intention of doing so.

Received a phone call from the number and person told me they had received a report that my computer had a virus. Person asked me to turn off my computer and turn it back on and then asked me if I could see the keyboard. He prompted me to reply “yes” then asked me to repeat myself. I’m a bit worried he may be using a recording of myself saying “yes” unauthorized purchases.

I could barley understand what he was saying because he used an Indian accent. I think his name was David and he was calling about my internet SCAM!!!

Person on phone said we were going to be charged $499 for tech support unless we call the following phone number (an 866 number).

I hung up. They called back 3 times at which time I punched 77#, and was disconnected.

Is this a legitimate call? Will we be billed $499 if we do not call that number?

I was at home working with my computer. Someone cut in online informing me that my computer signaled his computer that there were some elements not working correctly. I listened as he described what was not functioning well and recommended ways he could fix them. I remained at my computer making changed and doing what he asked me to do. He stated that he was adding an anti-virus function among other things, including ways to make it run faster. Afterwards, he said that the price for 5 years would be about $500 and for lifetime $900. I ended up using my credit card, as he made it sound attractive and beneficial. The next day he called back, asked how it was working, and I told him satisfactorily, although it didn't seem any different. He next explained that the equipment and adjustments he had sold me were not working and offered to return my money. I asked him to put it back on my credit card and he said that the company could only put it back into my bank account. I continued to stay on the phone and he led me into pulling up all my bank accounts. Suddenly, I realized that the screen was showing all my banking information and I thought he might be planning fraud. I went directly to the bank and explained what had happened and had my accounts frozen and new ones opened. I also took my computer to Office Depot and the man couldn't justify exactly what had happened, but he did make a few adjustments.

A middle eastern accented man called an elderly relative and said he was calling from our tech support company. He said that they had been receiving information and messages from my PC and asked if we had seen the warnings that we were in danger, and said that since they were our tech support company they could help and needed information from my PC.

I received a call on my cell phone: The person that called had a heavy Indian accent. They said they were calling about my computer. I asked them "what about my computer"? They said to help out with your computer. I told them that is why I have tech's that help me with that and they hung up on me.

Received a message on my computer that my computer was locked and to NOT turn off my computer but to call this number: 1-866-217-8835 for help. When I called the number an individual answered that did not speak good English, so I hung up and called back and received another rep that I could not understand very well. They kept instructing me to put different codes into my computer, which I did. At one point, my McAfee security software said not to proceed, but the tech urged me to say it was OK, which I did. Then my computer instructed me to download something. I asked if this would cost me anything and the tech responded "yes" but couldn't tell me how much it would cost, so I hung up. Since then - about five days ago - they have called my home telephone several times every day and tell me to call this number - 1-855-792-7928. My daughter called this number and asked for the company name and the individual said "Global Technologies LLC" and became angered when she said she was turning them into the ScamPulse.com and also refused to remove our number from their call list, "since she was turning them in to the ScamPulse.com." This sounds very much like a scam and I hope you can stop them from victimizing anyone else and maybe getting financial assistance from anyone who is unsuspecting.
