770-294-6240

No message left on this side of the frontier either.

I got one yesterday around 5:30 PM and another one today at 1:15 PM.  No message left.

Tried calling the number and it says "Welcome to Verizon Wireless Your Wireless Call Can Not Be Completed As Dialed Please Check Your Number And Dial Again"

Please, block this number

said he was calling from microsoft and wanted me to download something on my computer

770-294-6240   A call came in showing this number on my CID indicating WIRELESS CALLER.

I played along with the caller who said he was calling from Microsoft regarding my computer being infected. Supposedly the company name is PC Help & Support located in Alexandria VA. Of course its not really a call from their. The person had a heavy thick accent, couldn't detect it's origin but when I asked, he hemmed & hawed but said his forefathers were from Nigeria. He said I sounded suspicious of him, asked him if I need to be suspicious. I told him I couldn't get to my computer as he wanted to instruct me what to do. But I insisted he give me the instructions. He told me to type in RUN PROGRAMS, the word EVENTVWR.  He really wanted to do it himself with me at the computer.

Google EVENTVWR & you will get info about the scam.

Scam Alert. Fake Microsoft people

Yeah, I got the same call!!! from microsoft or something

Same thing for me and I noticed this number called me twice last week and this morning.  A guy with a heavy accent said am I near my computer, he is getting reports that I have malicious spyware being downloaded that is harming my computer.  And I said ok which one because I have several.  I also said how do I know you are from Microsoft and he said because ma'am we have received notification that your computer is having issues because it is sending us alerts from the program and I said well why don't you email me then because I am not at my computer right now and busy and he said ok he would do that.  Also, he said because we are Microsoft and we are the manufactures of the computer, yeah right they aren't the manufacturer, just their software is.  Dummy.  

Same thing- Malicious software. Told him to get lost based on this site. This is my third call and sometimes it is Sage not MS calling.

I get one or two daily form this number.  I simply don't answer unless I recognize the caller number. What a PITB!

I have received several calls on my cell and home number from this number. Heavy thick accent from India. Stated my computer has  been sending our error messages to Microsoft. 1st call. I asked what computer I have several he stated your laptop I stated my laptop is working fine , hung up. 2nd call female heavy accent. I asked if she was a scam hung up. 3 rd call hung up. 4th call. Male heavy accent. He asked if I was in front of my computer I asked what error messages is my computer sending . He stated you have malicious malware that has infected my computer. Hung up. Called number back The Verizon number you are calling has been changed od disconnected. Scam artist

800notes has no control over your calls. But you might want to look into a call blocker.

They called my cell phone saying that my computer had been downloading malicious software. He had a noticeable Indian accent, and when I asked him what software my computer was using, he got it wrong. I hung up on him, and want to warn people about these kinds of callers. They have been calling me and my home phone number for weeks so be careful!

same Story wanted to help because I had problems in my computer

Please stop calling me!!

800notes is not affiliated with your callers, we are not calling you either. 800notes is a forum for reporting who calls you and any information you may have about the call to share with other forum users. It is highly doubtful that your callers are reading here also. We can't stop anyone from calling you either or remove from a list.

Consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 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.

The person on the other line claims to be from a computer company. They hang up immediately when I start talking

I got a call from 770-294-6240.  The lady on the other end told me she was from Micro Soft and that they were getting an error message from my computer.  She told me she had called to help me fix the problem. She asked me to log on to my computer and started asked me for personal information.  I told her I did not know her and was not about to do that.  She continued to press me and I finally hung up on her.

Received tons of calls again. Wanted me to open computer and download stuff to "help clean up system."  I refused to do so and I hung up.
