This has also happened to me. And I live in Spain, but the truth is that something wrong was going on in my computer. It's got a virus and this virus must report to his company. There comes the scam. I also hanged up the phone. It was too weird.
The caller says that he calls from Microsoft, with a strong Indian accent. He calls in Montréal, Québec, Canada.....The second largest French city in the world after Paris...and they don't have anyone speaking French...!!! I really doubt that the call comes for MICROSOFT....! Cause the do have offices in Montréal, and they have TONS of French, and BILINGUAL speaking employees....!!!
They just called me but even though I picked up the phone I didn't say a word.I was watching I Love Lucy on TV and I put the telephone against the screen.
A man said 'hello" and they hang up!
It is a scam! The caller stating she works for "Windows" reporting that your computer has a virus that they can repair. You just need to hand over remote control of your computer to them. I have had a number of these phony phishing calls...
So tired of this company calling seven times per day, every couple of hours, since I don't know who it is they have now placed a name John Kenndale in hopes that I will answer. Do not know who, what, or anything since they do not leave a message so we are not sure who or why they are calling----just worries us when we have family in poor health!!!! We got the number when we purchase our phone from Verizon---we are aware it used to belong to someone else but that was YEARS ago!
