I asked for more info and the guy freaked out - called me a liar when I told him I dont even own a computer. tried calling back, but got a wierd message. international scam alert!!

Some guy just rang me and was goin on about how I've been downloadin stuff thats againts the law. Had a pretty heavy accent and I told him where to go

Knew it was a scam as soon as I heard the Indian accent, told the guy to find someone who would actualy believe him

Got the call too, Indian accent...asked how I knew it wasnt a scam and he said they were a team of MS certified pros and had my windows license ID

A call was received from this number at 10 pm on Tuesday, and when answered, the caller hung up immediately, with the number appearing suspicious due to the prefix and suffix.

On March 12, 2013, at 9:31 am EST, a female caller with a heavy Indian accent, claiming to represent Microsoft, informed me that my computer had a virus, requesting access to fix the issue; however, when I pointed out the inconsistency of Microsoft contacting me about a Windows virus on my Linux-based system, she terminated the call.

A call was received at 10:35 pm PST, with no initial message, but a follow-up call was made to inform us of a supposed virus on our computer, which we suspect originated from outside the country, possibly from an Eastern location, highlighting the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures

We received a call from the same number tonight, but they didn't leave a message; I'm hoping they call again so I can respond appropriately.

On March 11, 2013, my husband received a call from a person claiming to be from Microsoft, stating that our computer had errors, and he was instructed to perform certain actions to resolve the issue
