Calls claiming a Microsoft error on your PC and demanding remote access are a classic scam. The caller typically uses an Indian accent, mentions a bogus company like Digit X, and pressures you to share your IP address or log in to fix a non‑existent problem. Hang up immediately, never give out passwords, credit‑card numbers, or any personal info. Report the number to your carrier and consider adding it to a call‑blocking app to block future attempts. If you’re unsure whether a call is legitimate, contact Microsoft directly through their official website rather than the number provided.
A scammer from a foreign area code 120-215-4256 pretend to be a computer technician, i told them dont call me again
Upon recieving the call, a man with a heavy accent claimed to be calling about my computer, but I ended the call and upon dialing back, recieved a message stating it was not a valid number, clearly a scam.
I've experienced multiple attempts from different numbers claiming that my computer was having trouble, and even the IRS claimed I owed taxes, threatening to arrest me after I cursed at one of the scammer's associates, which led to a follow-up call using a police number in an attempt to intimidate me, prompting me to report each incident to the police and the General Attorney's Office.
Scammers often limit the number of rings to 3 or 4, and this call follows that pattern. Furthermore, the Caller ID raises suspicions, and it's worth noting that there is no valid American area code 120.
The message they left was quite scarey, a male with an indian accent stated my full name and asked me to call back 'AAAP', insted of ASAP, it was pretty creepy.
Apparently, some indian male try to fix my Microsoft, which is kinda funny since i dont even own a computer, i told him to login and see if he can fix it, lol
Scammers often use fake area codes, so it's best to block these calls immediately

Unfortunately, scammers like these do exist, and I have personal experience with two individuals who have attempted to obtain my online banking information, despite my reporting them to the authorities on multiple occasions.
It's unlikely that any good will come from a number with an overseas area code or prefix starting with 0 or 1. Most overseas callers have ulterior motives, and it's best to exercise caution.

Comcast forwarded phone calls to an individual involved in a bank scam, causing concern.
A scammer has targeted my elderly mother, posing as a Microsoft representative to fix her computer and steal money through credit cards and iTunes cards.
The caller, who sounded Indian, asked for my mom despite my name being associated with the computer, became flustered when questioned, and hung up
It's appalling that scam artists continue to evade arrest and prosecution, disrupting the lives of innocent individuals, including children and those with illnesses, with their incessant calls.
On June 30th at 4:33 pm, I recieved a call from this number, they asked for my name and said they were verifying my adress, my husband told them I didnt live ther and hung up.

Had the same experiance as others, recieving a call from this number, with no clear purpose.
I recieved a similiar annoying call from this same number eariler

Having received multiple suspicious calls from different numbers, it seems like a targeted attempt, possibly related to the "My computer is at risk" scam, which is a concern given the inability of the US government to stop these overseas calls.
I recieved the same mesage, and i promptly hung up on the caller.
