Called the home phone and suggested he works for Windows technical support department. Very strong accent. I asked where he got my home phone as we are unlisted. He states he got it from when I signed up for windows. I used my cell phone when signing up for anything to avoid these types of calls. Not the first time.

Caller claimed he was from Windows tech support. Indian accent, a lot of background noise. Told me my "security level is corrupted" and that my computer was "flashing" on his server. He kept insisting I "get in front of" my computer so he could show me the problem.

Yeah just got a call. This scam is old... I'm surprised they still do it... I picked up and he claimed he was from Microsoft Windows Technical Department. I just started laughing and said "good one I own a Mac" then hung up. (I don't own a Mac but. I didn't want him to call back.) How do they get our numbers?

Just got my 4th call in three weeks. Same guy, and asked me to turn on my computer. I asked him why, and he stated that he needed to check for malicious software on my computer. I told him he was some stupid SOB, and that my computer was on. I also informed him that there is a law dealing with invasion of privacy. Why haven't the proper authorities investigated this scam bag?

Just got a call from this number. Same story. A guy with an Indian accent saying he works for Microsoft and he needs me to turn on my computer because it's flashing on his server. I laughed and told him there was no way I was going to follow any instructions from him and he hung up. Don't answer!

Got the same call on my cell phone. I knew it was a scam as soon as he said that he was from Windows & my computer was getting corrupted. I had gotten pretty much the same call a few months ago. So I messed with him for a few minutes, asking which computer, he said, in his thick Indian accent, your personal computer ma'am. Again I asked him which computer, if he could tell me exactly which computer, I might consider letting him continue. He got frustrated & said each computer has a unique code & that info was private. Again I asked him which computer, I run a business & have about 8 computers, so which one... he hung up :-D

Just a call from this number and the lady was telling me that she is from WIndows tech support and would help cleaning my computer as it is repeatedly signaling on their server that there are issues with my computer. I told her that I have my office computer and i need to get permission from my office before doing anything. I hung up.
This is surely a bad call and should be ignored. OR not sure why nobody yet reported this to FBI or anybody.
