When my husband told me about this, I thought no way does Microsoft have our phone number, and really why would call us........Thanks, you made me feel better.
Called today and came up on ID as a Cell Phone Call MD and when I said Hello a person from another country asked about my computer. I hung up.......... Why can't we find a good way to stop all these phoney calls?
Just received the call from this number. Husband told them he could not understand a word they were saying, He gave the phone to me same microsoft detects a problem with your computer. Go turn it on! I said there is no way I am doing anything for you ! You are not microsoft and I will turn you in! He hung up very quickly!
I got the same call from an Non-English speaking person. It was extremenly difficult to understand other than about errors I had been receiving on my compuer. He hung up after stating that he would have his supervisor call me when he was available as I couldn't understand most of what he was stating as his foreign accent was so bad. Possibly from India???
I received the same call from a man named "Sam" who sounded like he was from India or Pakistan. Instead of typing the message on my computer that he wanted me to, I wrote it down. I told him that I would not comply with his request until I talked to my computer literate son. I also told him that I would not obey his request because I did not know him or his employer and for all I knew, he would transfer all my computer info to someone else. He hung up!!!!! How stupid do they think we are?
