Called me in Ontario this afternoon.
Told me I had infected Microsoft Windows. I said I didn't have a computer and the guy didn't know what to do!
SCAM
This number 206-397-1127 comes up as a telemarketer and posing as Microsoft.
They tell me they are getting messages that my computer is ready to crash and they can fix it for $99.00. They call me once a week a different person. I am going to report to Microsoft as well.
PLEASE DON'T OFFER AN INFORMATION, IT IS A SCAM
Same here. They called when I was over at my dad's house who is a 78 year old invalid who is completely computer illiterate and doesn't own a computer. They insisted they were getting computer error messages from his home computer that didn't exist. The idiot still went on and told me to sit in front of this non-existent computer and he could show me the error reports THEY we're receiving and he could correct them. This guy, bad foriegn accent, didn't say anything about Microsoft but the 206 area code is Seattle.
I have gotten at least one call everyday from this number for the past week. I was told this was the tech support dept at Microsoft and they have detected a problem with my computer which they can fix. I told them I was not the owner of the computer they were calling about so the foreign speaking male hung up immediately. But since this past week end I have gotten 1-3 calls daily; but when I answer, no one responds at the other end and the line goes dead. I have reported this number to the FCA and they are investigating this group known for scamming people. Be careful what you tell these people.
