I got a call from this number on Thursday the 17/03/2016 at 1:34 UK time. I, Zainab picked up the phone. I was home alone. So straight away she called me by my full name. ?. First it was a woman who spoke. She had an Indian accent. Definitely British Indian sounding lady. She knew details about me such as my name, address, email, date of birth. I live in the UK. She was offering phones like iPhone, Samsung, sonny. She offered 2 months trial on "shopping" thing and 3 months trial on "games and books". For the phones she said they're free for the first month. From the day they're activated. And after that they'll be £26.
She asked for my bank details. I’m stupid so I gave the 16 digit number, the expiry date, the sort code and bank card number (i.e. the 8 digit number.) And then she asked for the security number, the 3 digit number. I was reluctant to give that one in. She said “if I was uncomfortable with giving it I should type it on the phone and then press #”, so I did. I know I’m stupid. But don’t worry, I have nothing in my account. I’m 18 and a student. I get the money in cash from my parents. And I will let my bank know about this. She asked if I was working. If I was permitted to live here, UK indefinitely, if I had a permit to work. Etc.
Anyhow, I was referred to a man. Again, he sounded Indian. Asked more questions. Verified stuff.
I managed to record the last 3 minutes of the conversation.
The last line was I’ll call you back and that the line, phone line is not good.
Bear in mind, they talked to me in-between 1.34 and 2.15.
Background noise was loud. It did not seem like a working place. Or an office. It felt like a “family.” Their accents were quite heavy so I did not catch most of what they were saying, nor did I catch their names, unfortunately.
Got a call from this #, after saying hello & nobody answered I decided to wait on the line & said nothing, then suddenly a guy was on the line saying he was from Microsoft & I knew right away it was a scam. I told him he was full of sh** and hung up! Then blocked the number. Have gotten these scam calls many times in the past from different #'s, so sick of them!
keep getting phone call from guy saying he is with Microsoft. Microsoft WILL NOT call you so it is a scam. It started off with him calling my cell phone the number was traced back to Magic Jack phone numbers. I've been confrontational with these people it does nothing they change their number and continue calling. Magic Jack needs to be sued they have no control over these phone numbers they are passing out like M&M's. I've blocked them from my cell phone but now they are calling my house number what good is the FCC or whoever if they can't catch these jerks.
Caller said he was from Microsoft and that my computer had an issue he wanted to fix with me.
I told him to remove my name from the list or file used to call me because I was going to hang up on him.
I did hang up and blocked this number. I was gotten several calls with regards to my computer. This is a scam
An obvious BS phone number: The numb skulls obviously don't even know phone numbers in the US never start with "1." Got the call. Ignored it. No VM left. Kerplunk/blocked.
