As the scam has been running in the UK for years, Microsoft are well aware of it.  The only thing they have done is put a warning on their website.  It has also been exposed on several TV Consumer programmes. Unfortunately, many elderly people still get caught.

I received a call from them and the guy said he is from the Windows, and that my computer was sending malicious things. I told him that I am not going to buy anything. He said We are not selling anything.Then they started working on my PC (remote) and told me PC is being used by the hackers.In the end he told me to buy their support for a number of ranges ($ 131+ to $400+). I told him that I shall verify and give him a call.He gave his ID and phone number (416) 915-3536.

The samething happen me. After I gave a crredit card no. And was told not  to shut down the computer.I got suspicious. I then called the credit company and cancel the csrd. I was not able to stop one transaction for99.99 from hoing throuh. Im told I need to clean the computer.

scam call from this # claming to be from "Windows Technical Department"... played with them a bit until I got them pissed off ... maybe not the right thing to do, but if I'm going to waste 30min of my life with crap like this, I might as well waste their time as well.

I fell victim to this company hook line and sinker for $311.00 with GST. Can someone please tell me what I cab do to follow up on this?

Got a call from a " private caller" who spoke with a very heavy Indian accent. Insisted I had a virus. I advise you all call the Federal Trade Commission at +1 877-382-4357 to log a complaint for this and any other scams. It's one of the few things we can do with these scammers that is useful.
