Those names are fake... Never trust a company, without a website, address ... etc. This one must be a hacker...
J'ai ru un appel ce matin moi aussi et j'ai commencé à pas bien me sentir et me suis dit que c'était surement pas vrai, chot pourquoi les gens sont si mal intentionne
Je viens de passer presqu'une heure avec un Peter Day (asiatique anglophone seulement) qui se dit de Microsoft au Texas et que me dit que si je n'accepte pas de le laisser entrer sur mon ordi pour corriger mes événements d'administration il m'enlèvera mon Windows 8. Fier d'avoir lu sur ce blog que j'avais bien détecté une arnaque
I have spent half an hour with simon green from windows service center.....on the phone
Je viens de recevoir l'appel de la même personne en disant que j'ai un virus sur mon ordi. Il connaît mon nom! Qui peuvent-ils être?
J'ai reçu l'appel de leur part me disant que sans eux je ne pourrais pas reprendre le control de mon ordinateur. C'est de toute évidence une attrape. ATTENTION
They called 6 times in 2 days even though I kept yelling at them to stop harassing me... very annoying ppl.
Ce soir, 20 mars 2015 à 8h45, on m'a appelé pour me dire que j'avais un gros virus avec microsof et que ça ne fonctionnerait plus si je ne faisais pas ce qu'il disait. J'ai dis que j'allais rappeler et il m'a répondu qu'il travaillait pour microsof et que si je ne rappelais pas, il allait bloquer mon ordi. Évidemment, je n'ai pas rappelé !!! Méchant crosseur !!!!! ... il vient de rappeler à l'instant même ...pas répondu !
simon green called me and he said he is employee of microsoft,and he want take contol of my computer....the number was +028888888 on my cell phone.he knew my name weirdly.....he tried to call me 3 time yesterday and 2 time today....he is a haker be careful do not give any number to him.....im from quebec
have been called twice this morning by an Antonio Decosta saying he is from microsoft windows calling to correct a hacking problem and i told him we'd call back. Microsoft has told me that they don't call customer to correct problems. Watch out...
After watching all the blog from different customer I, Peter Andersen from Quebec, Canada want to ask all of them to stop all this fake rumours about the company, because personally i have taken the service from the same company 8 months back for the life time protection of my computer and till date i am taking their service and using all the software provided by them....Maxon Kitt is my online supportive Technician..I want to thank to Maxon.
My husband is on the phone with this michael anderson right now!!!!
It's very scary at the beginning and it makes laugh at the end.
My god, how can you be so stupid?
Exactly the same call with this phone number, under the Name of Michel Anderson!!
I did'n answer
It happened to me just as you describe. A guy who called himself Maxon Kitts talked me into it. He said, that he was an employee at Microsoft in Texas, and that my computer had reported as problem. They took me for 200$.
They call and tell you that Microsoft informed them that we have a problem with Windows. They ask us to key in a Windows-R instruction to take control over our computer. They scan our files and pretend that we are infected by Trojan csrss.exe. They have the solution to clear it at 250$ with the declaration of the credit card. They change our Windows password and give a Hotmail code for reply. Extreme hacking.
