I received a call from 937-250-0270 number today. Caller ID said it was an Ohio number. The person on the phone had a thick accent that was too hard for me to clearly understand him but he kept saying Microsoft. I asked for someone who spoke English but he went on with his Microsoft talk. I told him if my system is compromised I would be happy to forward his call to my law enforcement. He then sounded bewildered and started to be forceful trying to make it sound like I was screwing up. I then told him if he didn't want me to forward this call then he is more than welcome to call my law enforcement and tell them my computer has been compromised.....he hung up on me, darn. I knew it was a scam from 2 seconds into the call.
I also got a similar scam call. I was thankful to see these posts to confirm what I already suspected; this was a scam. I just wasn't clear if it was unauthorized PC access or money for unnecessary services he was after.
I got a call from this number today from a person claiming to be a third-party tech support provider called "ms windows care". He told me he was calling to help me with a computer problem detected by microsoft, claiming my computer was not receiving updates and he wanted to find out the problem. He said his name was "Fletcher Davis". The callerid showed no info -- blocked -- just read "private name/private number" -- so I was suspicious. It was a male who sounded fluent in English as a second language -- with perhaps an Indian accent. I asked,whether he was located in the US, he said he was in India, but the company was headquartered in Las Vegas. He asked me to go to my computer and type some commands -- told me he knew my "license id number" and that I should check it to verify. I declined to do this,and asked him if he could prove who he was. He repeated that he was from "ms windows care", but provided no other evidence. I asked him for more info., so I could tell this was not some scam. There was a long pause, during which I hung up. Afterward, he tried to call back -- this time without callerid blocking, and it showed 937-250-0270. I didn't answer. He called three or four times but left no message.
Got a call from that number (937-250-0270) today, they claimed to be from Dell Tech support and saying that my windows key was registering on their server as not getting updates, since I'm a bit tech savvy myself I told them I know my computers like a back of my hand and that they were getting an error and not to bother me again.
TOO funny - Microsoft calling ME for a problem? That's like Bill Gates sending me money for emails. Please everyone if you get call this ask to be put on their "do not call". Ridiculous
