October 2015 phone call received from Tech Support America advising us that they were working with our internet company to clean up numerous administrative log errors. They insisted that if they didn’t fix the errors our computer could be damaged or get a virus. They needed control over our computer to clean up errors. They requested a fee to correct the problems and continue to monitor our computer. A couple months later same company called back to let us know they needed control of our computer again to correct a system error which they could’t explain or give us any details on. They said once they took control of our computer and resolved the error there might be another charge. When we told them they were scamming us, they were rude, unprofessional, and used profanity. We immediately hung up the phone.

called from this number 648-325-9517 and said they were from Tech Support America and Microsoft to stop an invisible virus on my personal computer. Was direct to the Event Viewer window which solidified for me it was truly a scam and would have probably asked me to download some software to help track malware. I confronted them and they hung up, concerned they will get less savy computer people to download bad things. They started the call by saying they had done research that the computers in the 847 area code had been targeted by this malware.
TO clarify, I was not victimized, they just attempted.

BE AWARE OF SCAM.
Received this call from 277-395-9775 today with offer to fix my not properly working computer. Man with heavy Indian accent said he is calling from Las Vegas. I asked him what is the name of the company he works for. He said it was Tech Support America. He did not know what county Las Vegas is located at. Knowing this SCAM I terminated the conversation.
The number 277-395-9775 when I called back gave me a message that this is not valid number.
I found “Tech Support America” website with 844-680-6653 contact number and dialed it. Female with heavy accent introduced herself as “Nancy” picked up the phone. She also confirmed to me that they call people with the offers to fix their computers. She refused to say where her company is located at.
Now you have it:
277-395-9775 which is not valid number from las vegas on the banks of Ganges River.
844-680-6653 from fraudulent website “TECH SUPPORT AMERICA” from who knows where.
Gangsters from Asia trying to steal your money.
