    Justanotherguy reported number ‎+17866647971 as SKYPE

    7/16/14, 8:38 PM

    Also called from this number. I reported the issue to [email protected] below is that message.

    I received a call on my mobile phone from a number which was reported as SKYPE (786) 664-7971
    The person claimed to be from Microsoft and stated they were calling to assist me in resolving errors with my computer.
    They asked me to turn my computer on and they would then provide me with instructions on how to resolve the issue. (I'm guessing they were going to then ask me to enable remote assistance etc)
    I then explained that I was aware they were attempting to scam me and that I would report them.
    They then hung up.

    Please research this and take action immediately before someone gets taken advantage of.

    Call was received at 5:23PM Pacific Standard time on July 16th 2014

    This Indian guy called from this number stating that I downloaded a virus and he's a Microsoft technician. He wanted me to turn on my computer because someone was trying to hack into it...yeah him! I hung up on him and then called the number back to see if it was a real place but I got an error saying this number was no longer in service. Can we say burner phone and scammer?!?!?! I hate these people.

    Got a call from this number yesterday. The caller ID said Skipe. I was expecting a call through Skipe from my sister, so I answered it. A man with a very heavy India accent said he was with Microsoft and my computer was reporting a large number of errors that meant someone was trying to hack into my computer and steal my identity. I let him talk me through bringing up the Event Viewer so I could see all the errors. Then he wanted me to type in a web address (www.121us.com). That's when I pulled the plug.

    He was right, someone was trying to steal my identity ... him! This is not just another scam, these people are dangerous!

    Indian man said he was calling about my internet security. Oddly, he knew my name, even though my internet is in my landlord's name. I suspected a scam and told him he'd have to speak with my landlord...who happens to be an attorney.

    I have had this number call me quite often over the last few months. Before the computer talk they were calling about my birth control. That was freaky at first, but once me and the indian man got frustrated with eachother he hung up on me and the next time I had a friend answer and cuss him out. The birth control call went on about they heard I was having problems with my iud, which I explained I had implanon not the iud then he switched his story up to fit with my type and I argued I wasn't having problems and he swore I was. Now the computer call went about as the others, he called saying they heard I was having problems with my computer and I told him I didn't own one. He then goes "oh well your laptop.." again.. I don't have one. He just says oh and hangs up. I don't bother calling it back.

    FInk reported He didn't say a company name. with the number ‎7866647971 as Harassment calls

    7/25/14, 4:59 PM

    Very nice Indian gentleman called to inform me of troubles on my "Windows Computer". I informed him that I don't use Windows, and that I use Mac/Linux/BSD for my internet surfing needs. He then informed me that Microsoft was the manufacturer who actually built my computer. And that he was from a firm working with them to ensure the security of all Microsoft-manufactured computers.

    This felt strange to me, as I could swear that I built my computer myself. I asked him if it were possible that I was actually an agent of Microsoft myself as I had built my computer by hand, and couldn't possibly have had it built by them. He then asked me if Windows was installed on my computer. I answered, No I use Linux. He proceeded to tell me Linux wasn't an operating system, and that I had to have windows installed somewhere. I started to attempt to explain to him that Linux was an operating system that was originally started in 1991, and that it has a long history of being a very trustworthy operating system. He then proceeded to protest, and exclaimed that Windows was the only operating system.

    I tried to explain the error of his ways, but upon further argument he simply said "You're wrong." And hung up the phone.

    I'm a little disappointed with how rude he was. I tried to call the number back to ask if I could speak to his manager, but was informed that the number was disconnected. What a sad end to a wonderful debate on the existence of alternate operating systems and the validity of their use.

    An Indian man called to say that his agency had reason to believe that my personal computer had been hacked. It seemed like a scam right away but I asked questions just to be on the safe side. He asked if I ever let other people use my computer and said that someone was trying to log in to my computer from another country. He said he was calling about my windows computer and was very insistent. I told him I had a Mac and that he couldn't possibly know that. That ended the call.

    I have been gettin harassing calls from these Indian scammers every day. I learned not to answer the phone and block the numbers but they just keep calling from different spoofed numbers. They will just change numbers and call back. I now Google the number after I reject the call and block the number but it upsets me greatly that they get away with this every day. This number called me twice yesterday.
