Same pests as everyone else above is reporting. Computer scam. They use all kinds of different numbers. Claim to be Windows Tech Services.
I wish there were a way to stop these crooks.
The best way to deal with scammers who say they are from Microsoft and have detected possible viruses on your computer (as a means to get you to download software from a site they will eventually direct you to) is to keep them on the phone AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
I go along with them and indicate that I will have to start up my computer, telling the scammer that it is really slow, probably because it has viruses and I do need some help, then put him on speaker and carry on with whatever else I was doing. If you tell him every minute or two that it's still booting, he'll wait. If you act like a complete novice, unfamiliar with how the computer works, you can stretch the call out for quite a while (my record is nearly 15 minutes) and boy do they get pissed off when they realize they're being strung along (time is money for them). If you get tired of waiting or don't have the time, ask them what their family thinks about their being a criminal. Expect rude comment from their end.
I just got a call from this number. I'm in Quebec. I will be calling consumer protection in the morning about this. The man had a heavy indian accent and said he was calling from Microsoft and that my computer has been sending him error messages. I told him that I usually get the messages is there is a problem. He said that he would have me fix the problems right away "in front of your own eyes"! WHAT? In front of my own eyes? He can't be serious! I told him to give me his number and that I would call back the company to make sure this is legitamate. He told me, "That's fine, but I can fix the problems for you right now in front of your own eyes"... Fine... then give me your number and I waill call RIGHT back RIGHT now in front of your own ears! He hung up! I tried calling back.... disconnected!
