Problem of phone calls
We receive several calls a day from someone who says they are Microsoft Windows & our computer receives errors that must be corrected. This call comes attest 999-910-0157 & 999-910-0103. Are these calls actually coming from Microsoft Corporation or that they are Spam? Please let us know that we're going to get inundated with these calls!
They are spam (actually worse, because they are a type of phishing scam). Microsoft does not contact customers unsolicited.

I received a phone call from someone claiming to be windows and I have stupisly access to my computer, but does not give them the credit card details. This could be a problem
Hello Ann,.
If you allowed them access to your PC, then it is a problem. I considered reinstalling my OS and change all my passwords. It would also make sense, if you use the online banking etc., to inform your bank that you have a security hole on your PC. This will alert them to anyone using your current password to the Bank etc.

I just got a phone call from a female called Janice... She said she was from Windows and told me that I have a problem with my pc, and it continues to send Windows error reports? ... My pc works well. I ask for my e-mail address, she said they don't have it, but they're my only phone number! I'm old, but I know I should have to register an e-mail address with them....
Anyone ever had this kind of calls? or is it a scam... I ended the call.
It is a common scam. Do not give them information, do not give them access to your PC and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment. See:

Hi & welcome
As my partner mentioned above, it is an obvious scam... & should be useful, as it has existed for a time "long enough."
Report the Microsoft phone scam
Cybercriminals don't just send e-mails fraudulent and created fake sites Web.
They could also call you on the phone and claim to be from Microsoft.
They could offer help to solve your computer problems or sell you a software license.
Once they have access to your computer, they can do the following:
Encourage you to install malicious software that catches of sensitive data, like user of banking online names and passwords. They may also charge you for to remove this software.
Convince you to visit legitimate Web sites (like www.ammyy.com) to download the software that will allow them to take control of your computer remotely and adjust settings to make your computer vulnerable.
Request credit card information so that they can charge you for bogus services.
Direct you to fraudulent Web sites and you prompted to enter the credit card and other personal or financial information.
Neither Microsoft nor their partners make unsolicited phone calls (also known as the telephone canvassing) you charge for security patches or software.

Phone call dubious on problems on my computer, allegedly of Microsoft Corp.
Today, I received a phone call from a person who claims to work for Microsoft. They reported that control of my computer showed errors or multiple infections. They offered to help me solve this problem. They gave me several instructions involving open computer management and by looking at the log files. They then asked me to open the website showmypc.com and run the software on this site. Subsequently, they asked permission to take control of my computer so that problems could be fixed. At this point, I refused and ended the phone call.
Did this phone call actually come from Microsoft Corp.? Is this some kind of scam?
Hello
It's a scam.
We all errors and warnings in Event Viewer, etc.
Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.
You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.
If you had given them remote access and if you do banking over the Internet, here is the advice that we give:
Contact your bank, explain, and change passwords.
If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.
And the only way you will know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
And Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.
There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one
