I GET Calls fom this # claiming they are with microsoft and need access to my computer to "fix" program problems.Caller said his name is "Rex Proton" and return # is 800 604 9149. Any one have infoon this? When I called the 800# they hung up whin I insisted on their name.........
Any call you get from "Microsoft" is a scam. Microsoft does not call customers unless you had first opened a support call with them and the caller would be able to provide you with that detail and of course you would know that they were calling.
Usually (and I get these calls as well from various numbers) they tell you that they are from "Windows" and they are certified and that your computer is reporting issues to the "central server" or something similar.
There is no such thing as a central server and any reports that your computer might send to Microsoft with system errors do not identify your name, location or computer.
They want to either charge you to "fix" the errors (which are not real) or add malware to your computer or both.
So, anytime you get a call like this, just hang up on them.
They have gotten into my computer!!!!! I am very upset!!! But I don't know what to do? I wish I could file some kind of charges against these idiots!!!!! Uhhhh
