Microsoft technician scam.  Do nothing they ask you to do.  Hang up!

got the call just now. i answered it and it went dead silent!

This is a scam, calling about your computer, when you ask questions, they hang up

Call by person with very strong accent (Indian?) saying he is with Tech Support and telling me that my computer has been reporting lots of errors and has been downloading programs without my knowledge or permission. Wanted me to go to my computer and do things so he could help me fix my problem. I followed none of his requests and believe it is some kind of a scam. I told him my computer says it is OK and thanked him for his help. :)  I get this call every month or so, usually give them a hard time or just hang up.

Missed call, left no message

Hard to hear but I could make out the message was about a computer service. I did not answer the call only listened to the meassage.

Could not understand caller so just hung up the phone. Now I find it comes from New Zealand!  Truly must be a scam.

Like my name says, I'm the scam buster. I've got your number and location. You will CEASE and DESIST IMMEDIATELY or you will suffer the consequences, which won't be pleasent!

Caller ID says unknown caller. Didn't answer & they left a message, but couldn't make out anything that was said. It was too faint.

Caller said my computer had been being monitored and had problems that needed to be addressed.  Started to give me some instructions as to what to do on the keyboard, I got another call and hung up.

Same story as others...a man with British Indian access calls about computer..he knows my name and calls on my cell and landline. About once every two weeks..I always hang up

Sounded like a phishing trip. I humg up. Who do you contact to get sometjingdoe

Most of these calls come out of India and Pakistan as a ROT.. Spoofed numbers.
The only persons who should be touching your computer is you, your manufacturer, Real Windows support that you have called and/or maybe a real live tech you see face to face! And be very very leery of numbers when you look to call the real ones, there are fake websites up. Never call numbers from pop ups either, thats scareware.

Consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so. If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number. For tracfone & straight talk:
