Scanner big time. Trying to get in your computer saying he from Microsoft and he can help me . Told him I don't have a computer and I don't use Microsoft and he hung up quick.. When you call back it tells you that the number is not accepting calls at this time
Same here. I asked him how he was receiving messages. Hung up. Then he immediately calls back from another number. 323 315 9247. Very persistent. Scam!
Haha! This is totally fake - do not give them any info. This guy called up and said "I'm from Microsoft, I got reports that your computer is being attacked by other people" (I was already skeptical). I said "well, which computer" - he said "YOUR computer". I said "Yes, but I have multiple computers" - he said "No, sir, they are all connected, so they are all attacked".... At this point I started having fun. i said "Oh no - they're all getting attacked? What network are they getting attacked on??" He said "YOUR network". Then he said "Do you use Windows?" I said, "If you're from Microsoft, and got a report of the attack, shouldn't you know that" - then he hung up.... I tried calling back (to mess with him), and the line was disconnected. HAHA!
Like the rest of the reports say. These guys are scammers, do not give them any of your info. They will hack your computer.
Spent a good 15 minutes messing with the guy on the other end and wasted his time. Not his first time calling me.
When I answered the phone he announced his name was Arnold Pinkney and that his company had received information that someone was trying to hack into my computer. I told him "funny I don't own a computer" and he hung up on me
