Microsoft‑spoofed scam calls: How to stop them!

A suspicious call was recieved, claiming I am owed money and requesting informations

This appeares to be a scam, it’s defenitly not Microsoft !! Don’t bother answering and dont cal them back

Despite the start of a new month, the same old computer scam continues

Criminals from overseas are using this MS 800 number to gain acces to peoples system

A call disguised as a Microsoft notification claimed my computer was infected and offered a free service to resolve the issue, but after verifying my firewall security, I ended the call to prevent potential control of my computer.

An email alerted me to potential unauthorized access to my email account from Romania, prompting a call to this number, which did not connect, revealing it as another scam attempt

A Windows update notification appeared, but the installation took three hours and turned out to be the 1903 rollout version, which was unexpected.

So far, I've received 5 calls from scammers today, with them changing the caller ID to MICROSOFT or 8006427676 in an attempt to bypass my blocker.

The excessive number of calls, including one at 9:20 pm, has convinced me that this is a large-scale scam operation, and I will not engage with such unscrupulous individuals.

This is a SCAM - they sucessfully spoofed a legitamate Microsoft number.

Upon recieving a call with a caller ID displaying Microsoft, a male respondent with a middle eastern accent claimded he was trying to fix my computer, but I dont have a computor

The caller ID for this number is listed as MICROSOFT CORP

The caller, who claimed to be from Microsoft Corporation, alerted me to supposed hacking attempts on my email from several states, including NY, Ohio, and Michigan.

Within two hours, I received three calls from 800 642-7676, but since no message was left on the answering machine, I suspect it might be a scam using a valid Microsoft number on the Caller ID, which led me to block the number after the second call.

This number is the source of a fraudulent scam call falsely claiming to be from Microsoft, attempting to charge for tech support.

Clearly a scam, Microsoft would never contact me in such a manner, and their tactics have already victimized someone I know, so I'm advising everyone to block these scammers who are essentially preying on innocent people.

Thanks to 800notes, I avoided falling victim to this scam!

The MS scam persists, lasting for years, and after answering, I informed them we have no computer, prompting them to hang up

I receivied a fake Microsoft call on friday at 525PM, the number is spoofed, just ignore it or hang up

Had a run in with a phony tech suport caller who tryed to rattle off a nonsence hexidecimal number, totaly wrong!

The caller claimed to be from a company called 'Tech something' and was attempting to spoof a Microsoft phone number, despite me not having a computer or Microsoft office license

I have received numerous fake Microsoft calls from India, and this number is a new addition to the list
