I received multiple phone calls today from this number. When I finally answered they tried to tell me that my computer contained items that would put it at risk for contracting a virus. I stated over and over that there was nothing wrong with my computer and he continued to raise his voice at me calling me "MA'AM". I eventually hung up. Hope I don't hear back from this number again, and hope no one becomes a victim.
I get several calls a day from this number, no one ever leaves a message. It comes up in the Whitepages as a lady named Ann Rickertsen from CT, so I'm guessing it's a spoofed number. I tried calling it back, thinking it was actually something important, and it just rang and rang. If it is a spoofed number, I feel bad for the lady who it belongs to. Another page said it was the fake Microsoft people calling, so I think I'm going to just block it.
This number called with a fake report for my "Microsoft computer." Of course they have no idea what to say if you ask "which one?" or "what company are you calling from?" or "are you aware that I am on both the federal and state do not call lists?" Of course they do not even have the smarts to pretend that they will remove you from their call list and still continue to try to get you to talk about your computer.
The number shows in the caller ID and Southbury, CT.
Why is "Phishing" not a choice below? That's the kind of call it is.
well these f****** certainly knew who I was but like the other commenters said they were pretending to be from Microsoft technical to get me to turn on a computer so that I could help them fish all of my information off my machine and eventually ultimately steal my identity what a bunch of dicks
