I called Microsoft support and reported this type of call. The representative said he has received 5 calls this week. MICOR SOFT DOES NOT CALL YOU TO REPORT A VIRUS WITH YOUR IP ADDRESS . DO NOT GIVE IT OUT.
This number called my cell phone at 12:52pm PST without leaving a message. I certainly didn't pick up. The caller ID only stated "NY, USA." Definitely adding the number to my blocked list.
This number called us and told us that they needed to check our computer for a file that was bad. She said she was from Windows Support and had our number and IP address. As soon as I asked for her phone number she hung up. Sounded like the call was from the middle east or some similar area based on the heavy accent.
I just got the same call. I hung up and they called back asking when I will be in front of my computer, said they were from Windows support and my computer was infected with a virus from my junk mail and they had my IP address. I asked to speak to someone with out such a heavy accent. I am sure they will be calling back.
This is a scam call.
