Caller claims to be from Windows Technical Support to help me with a problem on my computer. Caller knew my phone number and name. Claimed that if I did not accept his help "Windows" would not be able to help me again in the future. Never used the word Microsoft but tried to act as though "Windows" was something separate from Microsoft. Contacted Microsoft to report the scam and they are well aware of it and have information available to customers regarding fraudulent calling or contacting of customers. Microsoft would never make an unsolicited call to customers regarding technical support.
I also got a call fromn this number and was told the same thing. i was skeptical so I aske dfor his number so I could call him back becasue it showed up as private name and number on my phone. I then called the Microsoft Windows Technical support and they did tell me I have a virus on my computer but they want money. Any way warning don't talk to this number!
Same deal I asked if I could record the conversation in case there might be some info that I might of missed. The conversation didn't last much past that point. Oh and it was a Mr. Roger Booke who called.
My wife and I have both received a call over the span of a week or 10 days similar to those listed above but from a Mr. Roger Smith. We did a trace on the number but did not attempt to connect with Mr. Smith.
