It is Thanksgiving, 9:am, message sounded like a boiler room then some one made moaning sounds and hung up. It scared me at first then I googled and thank you all for posting. Now I know it was the microsoft scam. Sick B.....A.... and any other provanities you may wish to add.
Some guy with an accent called to tell me that windows is getting error messages about my computer......I don't know that much about computers, but I figured from the get go that this was a scam. I told him I do not have a problem with my computer and he said that they emailed me....I told them that was a damn lie and you are a scammer. He insisted he worked for windows and if I was near my computer he could help me fix the problem....I said Hell no and you are a scammer. I hung up and like all scam numbers.....it was disconnected when I called it bac k.....he was calling from Tenn.
Received a call from 423-414-2535 this morning which our caller ID indicated was from Chattanooga, TN. After reading the above comments we will immediately enter the number into our CPR Caller Blocker which we acquired on Amazon three or four months ago. So far it works great.
I installed Win 10 and made the mistake of trying to contact Microsoft via a Google search I reached a site which looked like Microsoft. I called the number and to make a long story short it was a scam. I was able to remove several viruses and other nasty bugs. Now they are trying to contact me to further their nastiness. They have been blocked. Beware of a site even thou they look real.
Keep getting calls from Chattanooga Tn., phone #423-414-2535 . I do not answer when they call. They keep calling so tonight I answered and the man had an foreign accent like Indian I think) and started to talk about my computer so I told him never to call this number again I am on a no call list. Next time I will report him. Those phone calls are so harassing and very annoying. I know it is nothing but a scam and I wish there was some way that the authorities can trace them and arrest all these people that try to scam the innocent. He did not name the company only something about windows on my computer.
Got a call from this number today. Shouldn't have answered it but I did. No one spoke on the other end. Tried calling it back and got a recording that it is not a working number, check the number and try again.
