I received a call from this number stating my computer is sending reports that there are several Microsoft errors & I need to press 1 to talk to someone. I hung up, tried to call back, & the number is not in service.
I get these calls all the time. I work for Microsoft so I know this is complete [***]. We do not call people on the phone to alert them that there are "viruses in your neighborhood". Anyone calling you and making this claim is a CROOK.
Do not give them access to your computer or to your credit card. If you have already done this call your credit card company. If you have given them access to your computer, consider having your operating system reinstalled, for they may have left spyware on your computer.
Got a robo message from "Microsoft". Told me to press 1. A male answered and I said this is the County Attorney's office. He said something and I repeated this is the County Attorney's office...is there a problem. This person said "Oh I'm sorry...I have the wrong number and immediately hung up. LMBO
this call is one from the folks who try to take over your computer, by telling you that your computer is generating problems and they are microsoft engineers who can fix it. yea, right. Next - they'll try selling you some beach front property in Arizona!
