Man with a thick accent called asking for someone who doesnt work at my office.as soon as I say we have no one by that name here ,the man hangs up and calls back 3 more times. Immeadiatly after the 4th call he calls back on a screened number asking for the same person. Annoying as hell.
They just called us saying that the head of mircosoft died yesterday and they were refunding me 199.99...yeah ok i'm sure, he called 3 times now trying to get me to log onto to some website, not going to happen!
These [***] ought to be jailed.It's a pure scam, claiming to be from Microsoft and giving detailed instructions on starting a TeamViewer session so they can take over your computer.
Just received a call from the same number , it was a foreigner and he said he noticed that i was having problems with my computer for a while and he wanted to help me. I said no thank you and hung up!
Just got a scam phone call from this number. Foreign accent in what sounded to be a telemarketer boiler room type of area, called to tell me he was from "microsoft" and they are getting messages my computer has malicious software on it.
After I asked for their phone number to call them back, he said they can only give me a website. Yeah right. Please warn anyone who might be getting these calls. He wanted me to go to my computer to show me the problem. Yeah, probably to direct me to a virus filled site.
Microsoft does not call people on this issue.
They did know my first name, but our house phone ( yes we still have one) is listed.
