When I ask how to get removed from their call list, they just hang on. Yes, of course it's a scam. I don't know of too many crooks who will happily put you on their "do not call" list What can be done to stop them? Unfortunately not much. Tags: Windows The person calling said he could give me a technical support for problems that they had detected with my computer, but he seemed surprised when I said that I had problems with my computer. I did not understand a lot of what he was saying because of his foreign accent. Can someone tell me what it is? I don't think that I may have a virus, but Windows actually call for help? You were lucky that you could not understand him and so do not buy what he was selling. It was a scam. Microsoft does not make unsolicited phone calls. Insofar as thought, you could have a virus...

Is it a scam? Hello Margaux.730, Yes, it's a scam. Do not give them access to your PC, they will try to steal personal data such as bank details etc. When they call again just tell them you don't have a PC or simply hung up. Never provide personal details or credit card number because they are also after the money too. Unless you have a prepaid contract or have opened a support ticket no Microsoft will call you about your PC problems.
