• I received a phone call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, it's a scam

  A few hours earlier, I received a phone call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. TO NUMBER A BLOCKED (no caller ID).  Said that they were receiving messages from my computer it has been infected by a virus. I ran the two Windows Defender and Malwarebytes, and as MANY say that NOTHING malicious was detected.

  Please advise me how to proceed. I asked them to call back tomorrow.

  Thanks in advance,

• Received a phone call claiming to be from Microsoft

  Original title: phone scam?

  I received a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. He said that one of my computers was not related to obtaining updates and I had to fix it. He said that does not connect would cause my computer down.
  I did not trust the person at all, it provided no evidence that he was from Microsoft when asked and he kept trying to get me out on my computer for him.

  Actually one of my computers has been freezing / crashing a lot but I just assumed it was because it is now old enough for a laptop. Is everything "that connects only not updates, causing accidents" actually a thing? Or I was right not to trust this person?

  I received two calls this morning, an hour outside, a male born foreigner (Indian accent) claiming to be technical maintenance for Microsoft. Said that they have received my computer error messages and it is probably due to a virus or malware. I wanted to turn on my computer, so he could prove to me. Is it a scam? What should I do?

• Strange phone calls claiming to be from Microsoft Support...

  Did someone received phone calls of a contender unlisted number to the Technical Support team of Microsoft in what concerns the Elimination of malware and ask you to follow the steps to access your computer? I hung up on them because I didn't think it was legitimate.

  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.

• Phone call from a person who claims to work for Windows.

  Occasionally my old computer crashes when I read a Blog, and I have to close it manually.  When I start backup it asks if I want to send an error message.  If I do not send the message, in a few days I get a phone call from someone claiming to work for Windows and they want access to my computer.  Is it a coincedence?  It happened three times in the past months, and I know that Microsoft does not call customers.  So is there someone who works at Microsoft who does something they shouldn't?  The people who have always had Indian accents or Chinese who are difficult to understand.
