Call randomly from Microsoft.
A person presenting themselves as being Microsoft called me yesterday evening after 21:00. She said that the messages were received by Microsoft indicating which indicate that my laptop is downloading corrupt files. I rejected, because he doesn't seem like a call legitimate. Microsoft actually calls the users of their products directly. I didn't send messagess to Microsoft when there has been specific problems.
My laptop doesn't seem to always work on something behind the scenes, but I guess it's my anti virus software. Now I fear that this person was legitimate and that Microsoft has actually picked up on a problem with my laptop.
As you can see, I am not technically sophisticated and would be very grateful for your contribution. I am a senior and I have my guard against scammers.
How I would be contacted Microsoft if it wasn't a hoax?
Thank you.
It was a scam, which lasts for some time.
And no MS does not call the end-users, nore can 'see' your PC

Today, I received a phone call supposedly from Microsoft saying you receive many messages from my computer problem and they gave me the address of the site above to verify the call. They said that my computer has a virus, and they wanted to remove the virus. I'm really uncomfortable about this supposed Microsoft contact. They are part of Microsoft, it is a legal company of Microsoft, it is a society of Ammyy

Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer
In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.
Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.
Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.
If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.
If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

Dell technicians had me buy a new disk, Windows 7 OS, which I installed it yesterday. A few minutes before, a phone call came in saying they were calling from Microsoft and I wanted to scan for free because I bought a product at Microsoft. They had me download software teamviewer.com, ccleaner, malware, spyware superantii. They ran scans and said I was infected and I should buy these software packages for $79. Is this a real service of Microsoft? I still have these software on my computer, I have to delete them? What other threats may be present, if it is not a true service of Microsoft?

A person supposed to be Microsoft called and said my Firewall Security Center was not working and had an ID # they said was my ID of computers that he read out to me and that I have no idea whether or not this is the ID. They wanted me to be in front of my computer and asked me to do things and wouldn't continue until I started, I started to do what they asked which of course I did NOT! I requested a call back number, and that's what he gave me:
1 855-731-4936 and his name was Fred Watson, was not American speaking, very strong foreign accent.
Is - is this legitimate?Its a scam. A well known and long-lasting. Microsoft will never ask you for personal information (they already have them) and you never call cold. Nor do they send messages of anti virus - and they do not have to connect to your machine. NEVER allow anyone to connect remotely to your machine.They are the partners who do this nor Microsoft does not only

I got a call last night by an Indian company that has convinced me that they called a company called NDCL from Microsoft support. They showed me my file 32\com.exe system and inside was a line of text that says my software warranty expired July 16... it does not specify a year?
Now, I don't know if these people were real, they had access to my system and seem to know a lot about me.
First they cheat me, or are they true microsoft support?
So true and I need to update my warranty please tell us how can I do?
If they were not authentic how can I protect my system no matter what they could have done for her, now?
Your guidance is appreciated
Kind regards
Isabel

I got a phone call from microsoft that malicious software is installed on my computer
I live in Toronto, Canada. Someone called me and told me that she calls me from Microsoft and said some malware is installed in my computer and she told me to turn on your computer and do the instruction, she tells me. I do not trust it because it's weird to have a call from microsoft on Saturday evening at 7:00. I said what happened if I didn't, she told me that she disconnects my server computer and tell my provider to block my IP address! I asked his emp ID, name and Department she calls, it just pass the phone to his supervisor, and when I insist on my view that I'm not you trust, he told me that you don't have any technical information. and it was very very rude... Finally I hung upward and the lady called me again and gave me this info: name: Abam Sorgr, empID: 21536 Windows operation system Dept., at Montreal, Canada, she gave me her employee ID:21536, the phone, her name was 65391989 which don't belonge to the Canada. I told him I check from microsoft and you can call me tomorrow. and now I have no idea?
These phone calls are usually of a person representing Windows rather than Microsoft, but in any case, the call was nothing else than a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.
Reported people on these calls for a person who represents Windows (note: not Microsoft).
It is a scam! Not to follow their instructions or advice and not to provide ANY information to them.
Because they use the internet lines and/or phone to complete their fraud, there may be federal agencies in your country who are interested in discovering their calls (e.g. RCMP). Their report directly to the appropriate agency if you feel you can contribute to their arrest and the charges.
Microsoft do NOT pick up the phone and start dialing customers and never phones/e-mails asking for personal information or asking them to visit a web site! Please do not take into account these calls and hang up immediately.
On another note, if you have problems with your computer, please do not hesitate to post a description of the situation and the error messages you received in those forums. We would be happy to help you. (information staff unnecessary or requested !)

a call from microsoft I think? ...
Microsoft called my house and said something on my computer but I could not understand him his accent was so strong, but I don't have my computer on or pluged because it needs work. My question is why, although I started using another computer from last night that's not mine. I don't know if it's real or not, but I got 1 another call about 6 months ago. so, how will I know if it's a real concern?
should I call Microsoft myself to see whats up .a opinion would be great. Thank you tamara

Posing as an employee, working at Microsoft HQ, he began to ask questions about my computer. I told him that I had no computer and he hang up.Fake phone calls to technical support
Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.
Please see:
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-GB/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx
Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.
These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

Spooky or what! Earlier, while I was in the middle of writing a message on the Microsoft forums, I received a phone call on my landline to someone who says they were Microsoft Windows, and that they were calling on my computer (words to that effect), then the person (male) asked if I was on my computer. I hung up at this point! It could have a real call because I asked questions of the community over the last few days - or was it just a scam? If it was a scam, then, how very weird that I would get the call while I was actually on the Microsoft Web site invite!
And, even more strange that, in the course of my writing of this message, I would get a second phone call, Microsoft widows (a number beginning 00190...) aledgedly the person (female this time) telling me that my computer sends error messages, wondering if I am the owner of the computer and I'm on my computer now?
Is this a coincidence? or something different going on here? This is all very scary!

Phone calls from a person claiming to be from microsoft a SCAM?
Everyone has just received a phone call from someone with a foreign accent CLAIMING to be from Microsoft? and they said that I got the virus, ect on my computer and they wanted me to go on the computer and I guess = open a site that would PROBABLY destroy my computer... I told the man twice, that I had no problems and thanked him for the call and HUNG up...
I heard there is a SCAM where someone from another country wants to go to a certain web site current and there wher you download something that ruins your system. I'm not stupid and I quickly hung up.
(I have Dial-up internet so I couldn't talk on the phone and be online at the same time..) ... When I'm out here = I dial * 69 and see if I get a phone number... at this JERK. and if anyone is interested I'll let you know what is this number.
- - - - -
Edit: a post later
I did a * 69 as the number is unknown... as expected... I thought it was a SCAM and immediately hung up on him... and gave him no information or access to my computer.
