I got the same type of call just like Julie and JLB claiming he's from Microsoft and saying the same type of gibberish. And I must say I like Julie's comments and have to agree with her. These people are obviously scammers fishing for your information wanting to rip you off in some way so don't be a fool and send them money or buy anything from them. Do not be scammed.
The guy had a Hindi accent. He also asked how many computers I have. He should know by my IP address if I was sending or receiving information from them shouldn't he? Anyway I told the guy that I thought this is a scam and I didn't want to pay long distance charges and hang-up. He never called back. An hour later I searched the # 707-822-9870 which lead me to here.
I recommend you don't answer calls from numbers you don't recognize specially long distance calls just like I normally do. I just let the machine answer. This time however I was fast asleep when the phone rang and stupidly answered before I had a look at the number.
I am in Germany and I keep receiving calls from numbers like this (all technically North American, but all over the continent...the numbers always change), saying they're from Windows. Obviously they're not. If I don't answer, they call back, from a different number. They're obviously scammers....don't give them any info!
I want to know how they got my number in the first place. Even I don't know my German fixed line number...I always use my cell.
I get calls for several different things, often it is for computer stuff, than for air duct cleaning, heating, and the list of services and numbers used goes on and on.
I also got phonecalls from this number. I live in Norway and how the f*** did they get my number? I didn't pick up. The number was from California. 5 min later another phonecall came in from New York. I wish I picked up so I could TEAR THEM A NEW ONE!!!
