Fake "your computer subscription will be auto-renewed" scam call by madarchod criminals phoning from India This is a fake "your computer 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, "thank you for your support over the past 12 months, we valued your contribution. We want to remind you that your subscription with computer technical support will expire today. If you do wish to continue or cancel your subscription, please make sure to talk to our executive as soon as possible or else the subscription amount will be automatically debited from your account by the end of the day." This scam bait 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. The East Indian scammer then either asks for your credit card number or bank account and routing number under the pretense of issuing a refund back to you and/or tells you to visit a website so they can gain access to your computer to install a ransomware virus. 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 either some fake account will be auto-renewed and auto-debited with a charge (most real subscription plans email you directly and they do not robo-dial you with a fake message) or that you are due a refund because either a fake company is closing down or a fake erroneous charge was made to your account and these scammers always try to steal your credit card or bank account and routing numbers. 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, fake "we are refunding your money" or "your account has been auto-debited" scams, 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 always 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". The Caller ID name and number is often useless with scam calls unless the scam setup asks you to phone them back. 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, pretending to innocently ask the scum why he is shouting profanities at me, 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. Some India scammers ask you to use your browser to visit a website that allows the scammer to directly access and control your computer and then they can install a ransomware virus to extort money from you. If the scam sounds very authentic, ask the scammer for their verifiable company name, street address, and a callback number that can be searched and matched to the company name and address, 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.

Saturday at 10:53AM. Missed the call & the voice mail was truncated so all I heard was an electronic voice saying my debit card would be charged by the end of day. Something fishy.

Got a call at 9:52am on a Saturday. I missed the call and got a voicemail that said I had a subscription that was about to run out and I needed to either cancel or new it, but the person leaving the voicemail did not tell a company name or what kind of subscription it was. I called back and when I asked the man I spoke to said he was with Microsoft and that it was a subscription for software protection. I do NOT have a current subscription to Microsoft for anything and have never given them my debit card information, so I knew it was fake. They can not auto charge me if they do not have my card information. I hung up the phone.

Got at call this morning, Saturday at 8:22am. I woke up to the voicemail saying “If you do wish to continue __ cancel your subscription please make sure to talk to our executive as soon as possible or else the subscription amount will be automatically debited from your account by the end of the day…” Notice it never mentioned the company name, what subscription I’m with. I decided to google the number before tried calling back. I don’t have any subscription due or any new ones signed up for. So I don’t believe this a real company.

called at 7:50am on a saturday morning. Didnt leave a messsage

Called Saturday morning at 8:23 am. - I called back and the guy who answered it, didn't answer with a company name. I asked what company he is working for and he said Microsoft. He had a foreign sounding voice. He told me he was calling because a software license we have was about to run out and auto-renew. I said "why are you calling on a Saturday morning instead of calling during the regular work week - Monday through Friday? I continued - if it's about a license renewal - don't you think it would be smarter to call when someone is in the office and can access their files? - Anyhow - I don't believe them - I think its a scam and they are trying to get credit card information. Thee nothing we have license related that isn't handled automatically during the work week. I told him "DO NOT CALL HERE AGAIN."
