Rec'd call just now from this number. Man w/accent said I had been awarded a government grant in the amount of (& this cracks me up) exactly ($9,148.26) & I would absolutely never have to pay it back. I politely interrupted him and told him, first off, remove my number from your list & secondly, I am not an idiot that falls for these scams & to have a nice day.
Caller claimed to be a Microsoft 35 technician. Had been receiving error messages from my computer and was calling to fix the problem. Seemed as if he needed to keep me on the phone for two minutes, then abruptly hung up. I'm not aware of any computer problems, though it did occur to me that if they track complaints about calls they might cross reference the phone number with the computer used to complain. I don't know what good that would do them.
Microsoft didn't call you... This guy will ask you to turn your computer over to him remotely...and take all your personal information. Microsoft does not make these calls.
