• Made me call from Microsoft

  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!

  This is a scam that last for years. Microsoft never does unsolicited phone calls.

• Suspicious call from Microsoft

  Original title: I got a call from Mocrosoft someone has loaded a malicious hacking on my computer software. This communication really comes from Microsoft.

  I received a call from Microsoft that someone charged with software piracy on my computer.
  This call is really Microsoft?

  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:

• Got call from abroad voice asking me to allow access to my computer. Call from Microsoft said? Is this a scam going around?

  received a call from foreign voice asking me to let him access my computer, said that it was for my call from Microsoft. Wanted to help me with my problem.

  First I called Microsoft and don't think that they work this way. Also, this same thing happens to my friend here in Idaho a couple of weeks. Is this a scam going around and if it is why didn't Microsoft addressed the issue in a public way?

• Call from Microsoft Security, is it a scam?

  I got a call from "Microsoft Security", informing that my computer has been hacked and tried to get me a "pin" entry that they would provide. When I wondered where they were on they notify that they were "security for Microsoft" I didn't responded and asked a phone number back to them. The number is 253-220-7222, but I was not called again.

  I suspect that it was a scam. Do you have any advice?

• 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 !)

• Phone call on Microsoft error messages.

  I just got a phone call from www.askpcexperts.com in Florida saying they called to Microsoft and that my computer was sending Microsoft to Microsoft error messages. They wanted to go me to their site and run a program. I told them I would call them back after checking with Microsoft.

  Not call back them.  Microsoft does not make these calls or allow others to do so.

• Phone calls randomly on a Windows virus

  I got calls saying that my Windows is infected with a virus and they want to guide me through the 'fixing '.  I did not do what I'm suspicious of the call random people (who do not speak English) and telling me they KNOW these things.  I just bought a new computer with Windows 8 on 31 Oct and have not seen any problems.  Should I be concerned about those phone calls?

  Ignore them; hang up on them.

  It's a scam and with various names and phone numbers, is
  become very frequent lately. See

  In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
  If you leave them in your computer, which knows what losses they did are
  where confidential information they stole.

  So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
  immediately:

  1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.

  2. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other
  financial sites.

• 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

• Call cold Microsoft TechnicalSupport

  A call center, which would have been the Support technique Microsoft, called me repeatedly telling me that my computer is infected with a virus that none of the antivirus software can detect.  The phone number on my caller ID was a few random digit - not a phone number. When I told him that I didn't believe that he was from Microsoft, it gave me the 213-261-7441 number and asked me to check it out and reminder. The first time I got this call, the appellant wanted to show me the errors in my error log and fix the problem by using a third-party chat download that also allow remote access to my desktop computer.  He could not correctly identify my version of windows, claiming that its error reports do not include this information and then told me that I had XP - WRONG! My understanding is that Windows error reports include the version as well as the nature of the error information and Microsoft call only if the contact was initiated by a user, either by phone or through via the Microsoft Web site. The persistence of these calls is ridiculous

  It's a SCAM.

  Their contempt.

  Thanks for posting.

  See you soon.
