Microsoft‑impersonating scam calls: how to protect yourself

These individuals are attempting to obtain banking information through scams

Engages in reprehensible bank account scams, displaying a blatant disregard for decency

This is a fictional Microsoft support call, aiming to deceive and manipulate.

I've received two calls from this number, both claiming to be from a government department and stating that a lawsuit had been filed against my family for alleged fraud, which appears to be entirely fabricated.

This is a scam message claiming a legal complaint has been filed against my social security number, demanding a callback

On Saturday, March 2, 2019, at 1:00 am, I received a call from this number

A partial message was left, stating that there would be no fees or security deposit, and requesting that I call back on their direct line

The carrier has flagged this number as a potential scam, and no message was left

A computer scam was attempted, starting with a claim that the computer is sending virus messages, but the scammer's lack of knowledge was evident throughout the conversation.

The same voice is used in various scams, including those impersonating the IRS and Microsoft; their latest tactic involves claiming 'no upfront fees' or 'no security deposit', which is a clear indication of a scam, as their goal is to get you to call back so they can exploit you; they even provided a callback number, 773-347-9630, which is likely their actual contact number.

This is a fraudulent caller

I got a robocall from this number at 4:59 AM, it was from chicago, and they said my computer was compromisd

A 5:30 am call to my cell phone featured the same voicemail as reported by others; I've since blocked the number and may attempt a *67 callback to ask some questions.

At 5:30 a.m., the caller claimed my Microsoft account had been compromised

An early morning call claiming a Microsoft account had been compromised was the gist of the conversation.

The caller claimed someone was accessing my Windows account, but my computer was off, so I asked to speak with my husband, a computer expert, and they disconnected.

A pre-recorded voicemail message was left at 6:50 a.m., claiming my computer had been hacked, which appears to be a scam, as it's unlikely the caller would have such information.

The caller claimed someone was trying to hack my Windows account, but my computer was turned off in front of me; when I asked to speak with my husband, a computer technologies professor, they hung up.

Apparently, my computer has been compromised with malware

A call was recieved claiming to have a solution for microsoft users, it came in at 4am and said my computer would be hijacked if i didnt call them back

A call from 'Microsoft' came in at a certian time

Despite the CID displaying a misspelling of CHICGO IL, a message was left warning that my computer would be locked and data lost if I didn't immediately respond, prompting me to block the number

This number is apparently associated with a scammer who uses automated calls to claim that my computer has been compromised by a hacker, reinforcing my skepticism about certain areas, including Chicago.

This number keep calling me everyday, claming to be microsoft and saying i have a problem with my computer, i ushally dont answer unknown numbers but today they called me at 5:27AM and woke me up, my caller ID say unknown name
