I have received a number of calls from this number, and a similar one. Both times, they claimed to be people from Microsoft. They had very noticeable Indian accents in each event, and tried to convince me to allow them remote access to my machine. I had heard of this scam previously, so I had fun with them. I did not grant them access to my machine, or even go near my computer, but rather I kept them on the phone. I basically ended up convincing them that I had killed my computer by having it set itself on fire from an overload of porno. I
i received a call form this 442 3002 number and they were calling to check on my windows. I advised them we knew of the scam and it wouldn't work, the guy just kept talking !! We received a call earlier in the week from a 888 number and advised them we new they were a scam and hung up.
Received call today from 902-442-3002. No message left. When the number is called back, an IVR message asks for my PIN followed by the pound (#) key. Also interesting that another person named "Tina" was contacted by this number this year.

Yeah - had fun with this scammer too, pretended to be computer illiterate and got him really wound up. I hung up about 20 min in when he asked me to log onto a website and let him "fix" my computer which apparently was downloading enormous amounts of spyware automatically.
