I received a third call this morning from a Michael with a heavy Middle Eastern accent, supposedly from Microsoft. The first call was the "live" call I had with him. In it, he told me my AOL ID was being used in New York regarding a scam where people were paying for tickets to movies/shows and not receiving them; the ID being used was mine. I humored him for a while, then city then cut the call short by telling him I'll be changing my ID to thwart the process. I cut the second call (about a week later) off, so I received no message. This morning's call was Michael again, leaving a message that they were receiving so many error messages from my computer that something had to be done. He left this number and asked me to please call back ASAP. I sure hope these calls can be stopped.
I received a call from 678-892-8522, which apparently is from GA, and this man with a thick Indian accent said that he was from Microsoft. He said, "This is Microsoft calling. Can I have your name?" I couldn't understand Microsoft so I asked, "Who is this?" And he said, "This is Microsoft." Needless to say, I hung up as I was not in communication with Microsoft. SCAM CALLER!
i've recieved a call from 6788928522 saying that they are calling from microsoft.
i was not able to understand there accent but i was little bit worried about my computer so i gave them access to my computer but at the end they asked me to pay $1000 for providing me 1 year technical support but i refused to pay that much ammount so they offer me to pay a one time fixing amount of $50 but with there talks i belive that they are the scammers................

Obviously, those calls are not from the real Microsoft company.
Want to stop repeated telescam phone calls?
Try these alternatives:
1. Do not answer the phone if you see an unknown number on your Caller ID ... let it go to answering machine or voicemail. Many telescammers hang up after 3 rings.
2. If you have a smartphone, get one of the inexpensive or free phone blocker apps at your online app store, and learn how to use it.
3. If your cel is not "smart", read the manual to learn how to set up a "group". Assign the scammer's phone number to that group. Also assign a "silent ring" to that group. You will not hear future calls from that number.
4. Google NoMoRobo, and visit their site, to see if your phone system is compatible with that system. (It may or may not be compatible).
5. Contact your phone service provider. They may have a facility or method to allow you to block numbers.
6. If you buy things online, you might want to google "Amazon phone blocker" to see what devices or apps Amazon has to offer for landlines or smartphones. Similar devices are for sale on eBay and other online stores.
