Received a call from this number. Caller ID indicated "Name Unavailable". It was from a foreigner, India I believe, and was very hard to understand. He said he was with Microsoft and that my computer was sending warning messages to the main server at Microsoft. Very strange I thought. Told him Microsoft was a lot bigger than me and that they need to fix the problem on their side. Then I told him I think he is trying to SCAM me and hung up. Call Microsoft Customer Service and was told that Microsoft does not make calls to people unless someone like myself has called them first. I would then be given a ticket number. Microsoft said it was definitely a SCAM.
Just got a call from this foreign guy who I could barely understand saying I had a critical virus on my computer. He said he was from the Multiple Listing Service (I am a realtor). Our MLS closes at 5pm.
This was after 5 so I have to believe its a scam.
They just called me and said they were calling from Microsoft, and I thought about it & I read scam on it.
I asked him if he had number I could call back & he no. Scam
I received the same call. I tried to find out how he knew who I was. He had my name and telephone number. I tried to find out who 408-004-8955 was and was unable. The Caller ID says "Name Unavailable" A friend in New Zealand told me this scam has been going on down there for some time.
