Fake "your computer firewall subscription will be auto-renewed" scam call by madarchod criminals phoning from India This is a fake "your computer firewall subscription will be auto-renewed" scam by criminals robo-dialing from India. The scam begins with a pre-recorded robotic person speaking English that is generated using text-to-speech translation software to disguise the origin of this India scam, but then you actually talk to the East Indian scammer. The pre-recorded message tells you that your account will be auto-debited for $299 unless you respond. The message is designed to lure you to respond back and tell the scammer that you are not aware of the fake subscription and you need a refund. Then the East Indian scammer asks for your credit card number "for verification purposes" so they can issue you a refund. But as soon as you give them your credit card number, they will charge thousands of dollars to it. And since all the Caller ID phone numbers they use are either fake numbers or rotated using disposable VoIP numbers, you cannot phone them back after noticing that your credit card had no credit refund but was actually charged thousands of dollars. I love to press 1 on these scams and toy with these madarchods for at least ten minutes, totally feeding them fake information and credit card numbers. There are hundreds of these India scams using pre-recorded messages saying that some account will be auto-renewed or auto-debited, but most real subscription plans email you directly and they do not robo-dial you with a fake message. More than 95% of all North America phone scams originate from crowded phone rooms in India that run numerous fraud, extortion, and money laundering scams every day such as pretending to be a fake pharmacy, posing as fake Social Security officers saying your benefits are suspended or fake IRS officers collecting on fake unpaid back taxes or fake bill collectors threatening you for fake unpaid debts, pretending to offer fake health insurance, car warranty, and debt, student loan forgiveness, credit card consolidation services, posing as Amazon to falsely say that an unauthorized purchase was made to your account or that your Prime membership was auto-debited from your credit card or bank account, posing as Microsoft or HP to say that your software needs renewal or they detected a problem with your computer, pretending to be DHL, UPS, or a bank, falsely stating that they installed ransomware virus on your computer and you need to pay them money, etc, and the scammers try to steal your credit card, bank account and routing number, or Social Security number and personal information. Some scammers try to gain your trust by looking up the name associated with your phone number and asking for you by name when they call. Many India scammers now phone you with an initial pre-recorded robotic person speaking English, Spanish, or Chinese that is easily generated using text-to-speech translation software to disguise the origin of their India phone room, but then you speak to the East Indian scammer when you take the bait and respond to the pre-recorded message. Scammers often either use disposable VoIP phone numbers (e.g. MagicJack devices) or they spoof fake Caller ID phone numbers. Anyone, including you, can use telecom software or a third-party service to phone using fake names and phone numbers that show up on Caller ID. India scammers often spoof fake toll-free Caller ID numbers that begin with "8". India scammers do not care about the U.S. National Do-Not-Call Registry and asking scammers to stop calling has no effect. I love to play with these scammers and keep them on the phone by pretending to be interested in their scam because many scam victims are the senile elderly. You do these scammers a favor by yelling at them and immediately hanging up. But you ruin their scams by slowly dragging them along on the phone call, calling them back if their phone number can be phoned, pretending to be interested in their product or service, pretending that you are worried when they threaten you, always giving them fake credit card numbers and fake personal information, asking them to speak louder and to repeat what they said to use up more of their energy, etc. The best defense against phone scammers is a good offense by not quickly hanging up the phone, but instead toying with them for at least 10 or 20 minutes to use up more of their time and energy so they have less time to deceive an elderly victim. Never give an unknown caller your credit card number or Social Security number. Companies who already have your information may ask for the last four digits for verification. Some India scammers ask for your bank account and routing number or ask you to wire transfer them a payment, giving a fake explanation that they cannot accept a credit card or personal check. This is an instant scammer alert because scammers can withdraw money if they know your bank account and routing number (e.g. counterfeit cashed checks) and illegal wire transfers are far less traceable than unauthorized credit card charges. India scammers may threaten to have you arrested, but the IRS, Social Security Administration, and debt collectors cannot threaten to arrest or sue you on the phone; they are required to send you paper notices by registered mail. If the scam sounds very authentic, ask the scammer for their verifiable company name, street address, and a callback number, which all real businesses will provide. Every East Indian scammer will immediately fail this test since they all use spoofed fake Caller ID numbers or VoIP numbers that they quickly dispose of. Never trust any unsolicited call because they are mostly scammers, usually with a slight or strong East Indian foreign accent, and most scam calls originate from India. No other foreign country is infested with numerous noisy sweatshops filled with phone scam criminals. These India scammers belong to the lowest India caste and many are thieves, robbers, and rapists who were serving jail sentences and released early due to prison overcrowding.

My father got a call from this number. I decided to call back from a switchboard number at work. Heavy indian accent gentlemen answered. I pretended to be clueless and said I got a missed call from this number. He went straight into saying my pc repair subscription is up for renewal in 30 days. I said sure no prob you can have it renewed/ He continue to ask me to go in front of my pc. I said just let it renewed if I already had a subscription.he got a bit combative. saying for it to be renewed I need to be in front of the pc. So I asked then just let it expired. then dead air. STRAIGHT UP SPAM!

Left msg on phone. Captured only part of it. That I should call them immediately or they were going to take $$299 from my acct unless I called to cancel. TOTAL SCAM. Do wish somebody could catch these scum.
January 16, 2020
Didnt answer, message left started mid sentence "And $99 from your account. In case you don't want to get charges. Please call us to cancel her subscription."
January 16, 2020
Message starts mid sentence so it sounds like they want you to think they identified themselves. Bank will be charged $299. Or you can call them to cancel.

call by this number claiming an "auto renewal. on my voice message. I NEVER answer such calls! instead I disconnected the phone and reported the call. a fuzzy female robo voice.
January 15, 2020
The number went to my voicemail the instant the call came through, and I only caught the last part of the message left by a fuzzy female bot voice: "There will be an auto-deduction of 299 dollars from your account. In case you don't want to get charges, please call us to cancel your subcription." The connection was very weak, but this is exactly what she said. Extremely obvious it was a scam as whoever wrote the script didn't even bother to use proper English and misspelled subscription on their script. Time to once again re-register on the NDNC list, I guess. >_<

Called to say I would be charged 299 for subscription autorenewal. its a scam, screaming people in the background, so I asked where they were located and said California but I said "its clear its not as it was 5 am CA time", then they hung up.
January 15, 2020
Definitely a scam. Said I subscribed. I said I didn't. He said do you want to cancel. I said CANCEL!

8 second msg robo voice saying "drop charges call"
January 15, 2020
Microsoft customer support leaves an automated message indicating they will bill $299.00 unless you call to cancel the subscription. When you call they ask you to access your PC. This is a MAJOR SCAM! Please report to the proper authorities!

Says u will be charged 299.00 if u dont cancel a comp subscription and to call back, so when u do he ask do u want to cancel. Hang up because once u say yes even if u think they don't have your account they could and u gave them permission by saying yes
