I had just finished wiping malware off of our company PC's when not 3 hours later we received a call from the number by a person named "Roy Anderson." If you get this call, do not give him any information.
Caller w/ and Indian accent said he was from microsoft and that my computer had multiple harmful emails I downloaded that were putting my system at risk. Asked me to hold down the apple button and enter: EVENTVWR.
I did not do this - and asked how he got my number. He was super sketchy and said it was from my microsoft license info and that they had tried to send me many notifications over the past 25 days that i had ignored, so that's why they had to call me. I told him my computer wasn't with me - he insisted on calling me back. I took his number: 770-884-4086 - googled it & saw it was a big scamming number used.
I received a call but the number first showed up on my cell phone from a local number so I took the call..The guy tried to tell me the same story as everyone else has stated, but I told him I did not own a computer that even ran windows and he did not believe me and became quite rude.
I asked for a return number so my husband could call back and this is the number that was given, bougus and fake.
he has been blocked....at least from THIS fake number
