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.
They called. I did not pick up. No message left. Google searched number and got here. If this number calls random people without leaving messages, I doubt if they are legit. No worries.
Just got a call from these clowns AGAIN. Has to be the 4th time in 2 months now. This guy w/ a India/ indian accent, informed me that he was calling from Microsoft. He also told me that "you have a virus in your computer". I asked if he was sure that I had this virus & he replies "Yes, you have a virus in your computer & I am calling from Microsoft Office to help you "fix it". My response: "Wow! You guys are awesome! I just bought my computer today & haven't even taken it out of the box yet!". He replies in confusion: "It's still in box?" ...I said: "Yes! And, what even better is, that it's NOT even turned on."....w/ that he hung up on me. Oh ya...my caller ID showed it was a call from "John Kendall".
This number and another one have called me ten+ times in the last 15 mins. Ive asked them to stop calling me and he started cursing me. i finally called the police but they are still calling.
This number just called me says that he calls from Microsoft, with a strong Indian accent. He was trying to get me to run evendvwr, I was not sure what that was I typed this in but did not run it, something just didn't fell right so I hung up the phone and looked up his number and found this. While I was searching and started reading over this he keep calling me. I am so glad I found this and hung the phone. I had to tell him to stop calling me and hung the phone up. So if anyone calls and it does not feel right don't do it. The name on my caller ID was - John Kendall -
Just called from this number with no ID, saying my computer is downloading programs that it should not have in it..... anyways i told him i'd check it and hung up......
1. I have a Microsoft Account I pay MSN. . whenever they need infomation on an email i call the direct line and talk to them.
2. You are not obligated to anyone about where your computer goes or what it does unless it is illeagal
3. Any downloads you do should be checked out for the realization of the product. in most cases the Computer Cleaners etc... are a scam to get you to buy a program that shows it cleaned it but in most cases is part of the program after you pay. If you are at risk, your chosen avti vi program will tell you and solve the issues.
Don't just go to the computer, call your carrier for the phone and BLOCK the Calls from the Number........
