They call almost every day,this number-204-356-2347-was on the caller Id,there's never anybody there when we pick up. But today someone was. Said his name was Jeff,was very hard to understand,seemed to be on purpose. He said there was a report that something was wrong with my computer. When I asked what company he was calling from he answerd On Line PC Support. He wanted me to go to my computer,I wouldn't do it.
Got the same scam. Caller ID gave this phone number and the name "Lynn Lake". Said she was from Microsoft. Oriental, could barely speak English. Wanted me to go to my computer and she would show me how to "fix the problems" they have detected. yeah, right!

It is a scam. There is no way they can know anything about the state of your computer and they have not received reports about it from anyone. They are not in the least way associated with Microsoft in any official capacity of tech support. It's all a scam to gain remote access to your computer for nefarious purposes.
I just received the same sort of call. It was very difficult to understand so I hung up. I * 69 and got the number.
I phoned and was told by someone this was an engineering company.
