I actually laughed at them and then pulled their leg. This Indian person called and stated that he was from Microsoft and that my computer was infected. So since I have an MCSE from Microsoft, and I know that Microsoft will not contact you about a virus on your pc (That is actually up to your ISP to shut down your email/internet connection) I decided to play with their heads a little bit. He was all like Im blah blah blah from microsoft, and we have detected a virus on your PC. I was like Ohhh noo, that's horrible, Hes says Yes it is sir and we.. I then cut him off and was all like, First the IRS comes after me for tax evasion, and then I hear that I am going to court for racketeering, and now this.. Dead silence is on the phone now, so i keep going. I say I just wish they were not able to get that darn court order to wire tap my phone. They would have never known. Yea at that point the guy hangs up. Point is, Microsoft or any other company will not call you about a virus unless it is your ISP and they are planning on shutting you down. To bad the idiot on the other end of the phone did not realize that I run a pure MAC OS environment at home. No Microsoft crap. To quote 1 person. Winning!!!!!!!!!
I got a call on my cell phone from this (202) 202-0000 number today, 4/17/2012. I was suspuicious immediately, because it sounded as though the guy was reading a script...I couldn't understand most of his words, except when he said "virus, malware and go to your computer." I kept asking him "what" and I kept hearing a clicking sound. I also heard talking in the background.
I guess I scared him off when I asked him where he was from and when he paused I told him he was "full of Sh_t.
got a phone call from +20 2-2020000 (country code points to egypt) and claiming to be calling from Microsoft and same virus and infection stuff..
He asked to access my computer remotely to "clean it up"..
i asked him where did he get my number from and then there was an err.. and he said from your IP!! LOL.. I told him my IP address doesnt have my number and I asked him his company again and this time it was not Microsoft..
he then made up a random name to confirm if i was him.. which i wasnt and that was the end of it
