I have had several calls from this number and I usually don't answer. They said they are from Microsoft and that my computer has reported several attempts to hack into it. They told me I needed to push the windows and r button at the same time and then they were trying to tell me what to put into the run area. I could not understand them thank goodness because the call kept cutting out. I asked them how I would know they are Microsoft and they tried to give me a number but I still couldn't understand because they were still cutting out. They said they would call back. I blocked the number! This really bothers me!! I don't know how they would know anything about my computer or my phone number.
This number is calling claiming to be windows and somebody is trying to get access to my pc for days. I just bought this pc on Saturday. The male is trying to disguise his voice with a fake accent and after I hung up, he even called back and said why did you hang up??? How would windows have my phone number??
He's not calling from Microsoft. He's an Indian scammer hoping you will be gullible enough to let him hack in and install a virus on your computer. If he calls again, just tell him you traded in your PC for a Mac.

Don't answer them. These are cybercriminals attempting to get control of your computer to steal your personal identifying information. And, if you are ever on your computer, your browser freezes up and a popup appears instructing you to call a number, shut down your computer immediately and take it to a qualified bricks-and-mortar IT specialist. It has been infected with ransomware and these criminals want you to call them, pay a "ransom" to debug your computer---when all they want is control of it.
