SAID HIS NAME WAS Kevin from Microsoft and that my computer that was a year old was full of threats. must of realized he woke me and I wasnt interested and hung up.
Person called asking for lady of house. Said he was with Microsoft and they have been monitoring computer and we had things on that were going to crash the entire system. Since I know a lot about comupters I followed what he had me do until it got to a point of running a command. The whole time he kept saying things like OMG the computer is going to crash and was full of viruses. When I told him I would hang up if hedidn't tell me what he was doing he got nasty and told me not to get rude, I just hung up. (Apparently they have called several times, my wife always hangs up.)
Heavy Indian accent. Wanted Mrs. Williams (my dead grandmother). I said to take my # off their list. He said they couldn't unless the money was returned (???). He said a product was registered here. I said my grandfather is 94 and has never touched a computer. He argued that it was 5 years ago. I said I had lived here for many years, and he said, "You are wrong. You think you know better than me?" I demanded a manager. Manager got on phone and said, "I just have one thing to say - I want to f*** you." Then the other guy returned and asked if I enjoyed talking to the manager. I said I had their # and would report it to the police. He said, "Really? Do you have a gun? Come on, speak up - do you have a gun?" and hung up on me...
i just got a call. i said hello. the person said hello and then that person hung up. this happens to me quite often.
i just read from the 2 previous stories of this number harassing or claiming to work for computer company. first off, not ever true would we hear from any company cuz they're just trying to sell you [***]. and on top of that, if you're dumb enough to give them info ( like i slightly did once) then you kinda ask for what may happen next.
months ago i get a call saying i had an issue with my computer. my comp was brand new. it was like maybe 3 weeks old. nothing wrong with it as far as i knew. i get a call from some foreigner who said i had comp problems. i told them nope. the person argued with me. i said okay smartie lets go to this party. i was being funny and then the person said go to... and type the word " run" then click this and do you see a number pop on your screen. i said why. i then began telling the number. i stop dead. i said what is this really about. and just then the person said type in this link. its to sell something. its like a stupid virus cleaner. i explained i had norton and the person said norton sucks. f off person. it was free so why would i pay if i had free and free was doing better than an expensive piece of crap that may not catch viruses and other thingies. sorry i'll always find the free and i listen to others telling me whats best for my comp. i dont listen to some person trying to make a buck. i understand that they're trying to do their job but man to threaten and or to say " i wanna f you " is damn retarded and not professional.
we all need to stand together and get these companies out of business.
I just received a call and a man with an India accent was saying he was calling from Microsoft. I told him I didn't have a computer....he said really....and i just hung up.
Microsoft does not call people. I think the next time I will play with and tell him i work for Microsoft also and see what he says. LOL
I just received a call exactly like the one "lanwab" reported: man with heavy accent claiming to be from Microsoft and wanted to discuss a "problem" related to my computer. I told him there was nothing wrong with my computer and hung up.
I submitted a complaint to the Do Not Call Registry.
