Recent spikes in complaints show this number is repeatedly used for tech‑support scams. Callers spoof a Microsoft identity, use heavy Indian accents, and claim your PC is infected to pressure you into remote access or payment. Never grant remote control or share personal info, and hang up immediately. Report the number to the FTC and your phone carrier, and consider adding it to your block list. If you’re unsure, let the call go to voicemail and verify any claims directly with the official vendor. Keep software updated and use reputable anti‑malware tools to stay protected.

They've called three times tonight in like, 20 minites. It's almost 11pm and each time I answer, there's just silence and then a computer says 'goodbye'. What's the point of that?
Two calls from these guys at 10pm. Somthing about a virus, but I'd just gotten my computer fixed so I knew it was BS. Reported them to the do not call list and FCC. Nice try though, idiots!

Got a call from this number in North Carolina (via Maine weirdly enough) at 7am. Looked up the area code and it seems like the same scam that got my mother-inlaw.

Whoa, they called me at like, midnight or somthing. I guess they dont care about time zones, huh? I'm planing on keeping them on hold for ages if they call back
