Received this call at 8:54AM here in Central NY and having grown up in California, I can assure you that there is no business that is going to call me at 5:54AM from California!
Called here at 12:45pm said they were calling from windows and said they needed me to go on my computer so they could tell me how to remove infected files on my machine. Total scam this guy was not from windows he kept saying the same line over and over "I am calling about your computer, I am from Windows". Totally sounds like a scam!! Don't give any info to these guys!!!!
got a call from someone named harry, said he was calling about my computer. Having just picked my computer up from the shop a few days prior, I knew there was nothing wrong with it. I hung up on the guy. He called again about an hour later, my son answered and hung up again. He called back within a minute, asking to speak to my daughter. The idiot said he spoke to her a few minutes ago, and she explained I wasnt home so he helped her deal with the issue on the computer! She hadnt been home all day and I was home all day! I told him he couldnt speak to her and hung up. No sooner did I hang up, he called again twice! It is a scam! Microsoft will not call you about problems with your computer! He called from a different number each time, so beware
