I got a call from 847-555-0167 today. He did leave a message after a long pause, "you're going to die!!" I am hoping this is a joke. Not a very funny one either!!
I got a call from 847-555-0167 today on my home phone. I actually picked up, I typically don't if I don't know the number. The guy said he was from Microsoft and said my Windows computer registered an error with them and they are doing a service call. I work with computers and thought this was extremely funny. I asked him what he is selling and what information he thinks he will get from me. He assured me nothing. I hung up.
Received a call from this number on 11/25/2014. Call showed on caller ID as coming from DIR ASSIST IL ( I assume the IL means Illinois) Was a female with a foreign accent. She said she was calling from some place, I think she said Microsoft, but I couldn't clearly understand what she said. She said she was calling because they were receiving notices that my computer was downloading malicious software and that this was a "quick check". I said "no thanks" and hung up. My computer wasn't turned on and hadn't been turned on for several weeks. This is most likely a scam to allow them access to your computer. Beware!
