Same thing. Called several times, demanding I log onto my computer. Rude and insistent. Said he was calling from Microsoft Windows. I refused and went onto Microsoft website, which reads:
"Another common scam involves receiving a phone call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft technical support, who will then request access to your computer.
Note: Microsoft will not make unsolicited phone calls to help you with your computer. "
To tell me I am receiving Microsoft error reports and I needed to be in front of my computer. They will not stop!!!! And when I asked for his phone number he was stupid enough to give it to me!

Same as previous post -- they called four times, the last from a different person saying he had talked to the other guy... I said put it in an email, he asked for my email address. I said if you are Microsoft, and you have my number, and you have my licensing ID number (which he claimed to have but wouldn't read to me), you certainly have my email address, and he got very defensive and said "I didn't say I didn't! But it will take me a long time to get from another department..." I said I was calling the Microsoft Fraud Department (doubt there is such a thing) if they called again, and I haven't heard back in an hour. Fingers crossed.
I to have received multiple calls from the same area code telling me I had a problem with my Microsoft anf to turn on my computer and they would fix this or it was going to crash! I told them I could not turn on my computer at this time but if they gave me their phone # - I would call them back in a few minutes - guess what - they hung up but the area code was from 806 - that is all I could see on my phone!
