Taylor Jones called saying he was a Microsoft tech calling about my computer that was allegedly sending large amounts of mail to Microsoft's Inbox. Hung up after I told him my Internet connection was broken.
Just a scam. Microsoft techs don't make cold calls and Microsoft does not have an Inbox.
A friend told me about this 'scam' the other day and this morning I got the call. Do not give this person any information about you or your computer! Change password on email to be safe (r).
she said there were some recent downloads from my computer that could harm my computer, and wanted me to go sign on and she would help me. I said no and hung up
Different callers from this number have called several times this week. All claim they are calling from Microsoft. They hang up when I start to ask questions about what computer and what version of Windows is sending them an "error". Don't fall for this scam!
Called and said he was from Microsoft and that my computer was sending out error messages and virus. Said they received these messages via microsoft inbox. I asked them which one of my computers because I have several. He said the oldest one. ??? (How would they know which one is the oldest?) I asked him to give me the IP address that was sending the error messages so I could match it up with my computer. I was put on hold- sounds like a scam to me.
