Hi,  I just had this caller who gave me the name Tech 12 Home and the tel no.  Indian origin, could hardly understand the caller.  He assured me there was no selling involved and asked me to check event viewer and discussed the error/warnings.They told me they were working closely with Microsoft and are the only tech support company working in collaboration with Microsoft to offer the service.  They wouldn't tell me how they knoew what was on my PC just said they'd sent numerous warnings to me??

I suspect it to be a scam, "tech from Windows~ offering technical support"

A call I received earlier this evening matches most of the details others have mentioned.The call started very amateurishly, as I never give my name when I answer, and also we are on the "do not ring" register.I voiced my serious doubts to the man calling from India, after he gave me his speil about Microsoft having referred them, and was fobbed off with fast incomprehensible patter. Even when I said that I use up to date antivirus software and antimalware and have fixed my families computers for over twelve years, and that the sirname and address they were calling me was the one used only in the phonebook for our landline. It is not mine or the one I use to register software, warrantees etc., I was told a lot more fearsome "facts" which didn't make any tech. sense, then directed click by click to open the administrative events log. I heard melodramatic noises when reporting the number of yellow triangles etc. as he'd asked. I could clearly see what they really were, but was told not to click on or even hover over them...When I refused to go any further with his next intructions with "LogMeIn", I was "handed over" to his superior. She too had innacurate explanations, and answered her own rhetorical questions with a "yes", then I was directed (as if to a beginner), to observe what was going on with what I know to be my CPU.She said it should be running at 75% or higher. As I had only one browser window minimised in my tray, and the display was happily showing 1 to 2% I accused the "More senior technician"/Indian woman who said her name was Hersh Smith- of being a scammer, and managed to finish then hang up politely, even though by then I was extremely annoyed.

I received a call last night(March 16, 2011,) they had east indian accents and attempted to tell me my computers was experiencing problems,they wanted me to go to a website called 123logmein they also claim their company name was Maakaboor. I didn't believe it right from the start and when I told him I believed he was trying to scam me he became rude with me saying he wanted to f*** my daughter and to take my computer and stick it in my moms pussy,I then hand up. - Everyone beware of this scam!
