Same as other post, but said he was calling from microsoft and want to know how many computers I have. Declined any information. prefix was 4 so the number was 44133292729
This number 413-329-2729 says he from microsoft and my server is sending out error messages, its a scam for sure and weird as Microsoft does not call their clients.
Same here +44133292729 It seems like the guy knew my name. Anyways, claims he is from microsoft and says my computer is sending a lot of errors to an ISP or something like that. I lied and said I have no computers and I have no idea what he is talking about. I then stated that I didn't know the person he was asking for, he talked for a few minutes but I really couldn't understand his accent, he eventually gave up and said to have a good day. I successfully wasted 3 minutes of this scammers time.
I should have just hung up, but I am always curios to figure out a scam.
Just got a call from that number also claiming to be from windows and said my computer was sending errors and wanted me to do some things to my computer. I hung up on him, he phoned back and got pissy with me and tried to get me to do it again. I hung up again, he called back a third time, I picked up and got pissy with him and asked what company he works for. He said Windows--I said, so, Microsoft? And he wouldn't answer. I hung up again and he didn't call back. Scam much?!
