I just got a call from this number also and spoke to two foreigners with broken English claiming to be from Microsoft. They are trying to tell me I downloaded a virus... when I asked them what was their number they told me 206 456-1859. I asked them twice to repeat it. I just hung up and called back the number and it is a non working number. They called me back immediately asking me why I hung up the phone. I asked them once again to repeat their call back number and they gave me the same number. This is definitely a scam to get access to your computer and get money off you
Called around 7 in the morning. Missed the call, but had a feeling this was the old Microsoft scam gearing up for round 1040. You'd think they'd think of a new scam by now.
If you ever accidentally answer and get these gutless scammers, just tell them that you have a Mac. They will end the call pretty quickly after that.
I got a call from 206-456-0662, at 8:00 am on February 7. Caller said he was calling from a government agency. When I asked him where his office was located, he told me to go to hell and hung up.
Don't pick up - they try to convince you that there is a problem on your computer. They then remote log on and steal info from your computer - maybe bank accounts, credit card numbers - anything they can find ...
