Got a call from this number today, did not answer it. I most always check this website for numbers unknown to me; posts about this number date back to 2011, so I thanks posters for the heads-up.
we get many calls from global I T protection of microsoft cpmputer, saying something was wrong with our computer and there is not as we had it checked by a microsoft approved dealer. This company is scamming people.
Just got a call from this number, "gentleman", English clearly NOT his first language, claimed to be from Microsoft Customer Service...said my computer was going to crash at any time...was sending virus reports to them, and he would help me fix it, otherwise my computer would crash and be completely destroyed!
Caller ID showed "out of area", when I pushed, the number he gave me was 315-633-4050
Another call today - said they were from the Computer Care Department and had warnings from my Microsoft Windows computer. When I asked where they had these reports from, we were inexplicably disconnected. :-P
Sounds like the same guy that called me. I kept asking him how was I to know if he really was calling from Microsoft and he finally gave me this number(315-633-4050). I asked him where area code 315 was and he said "Ontario, Canada" which is funny because I'm in Toronto, there is no 315 area code in Ontario. He said Toronto is a long way from Ontario (what!?). Needless to say they didn't connect to my computer to "fix" the problems, but what a scam.
