snoop46241 We only contact a customer if it's time to renew their contract support or if they requested for technical support. Based from your record we do not find any contracts or requests.
We never do cold calling. Sounds like you were scammed.

Your message is a bit garbled.

Are you saying that Netgear India called you? If so there is a good chance that Netgear had nothing to do with it.
Doubtless you have heard of all those calls that "Microsoft" makes to warn customers of problems with their computers. I have to break it to you gently, these calls are scams.
As I say, this is just one possibility, your message is so convoluted and devoid of sentences that I may have the wrong end of the stick. In which case, apologies.
I have to agree, though, about offshore call centres. Some of us in England even have problems when the call centres are in Scotland.

door wide open for a stranger, unbelievable!
