888-893-9341

I either let the answering machine get or pick up and immediately hang up on these calls.  I love this site because it usually can tell you what the call is and if it's legit.  I recognized this number as one I previously looked up after the caller ID showed it numerous times.  Answered and a lady from India said she was calling about a problem Microsoft reported with my computer.  Told her she had just called the county sheriffs department and we knew they were a scam and were monitoring them.  She said well m'am I haven't done anything wrong to sell you something yet!  I hung up.  Don't fall for their BS, just don't answer or hang up!!

got a all from this number and they claimed they were Microsoft techs.  Said I had thousands of error messages that they needed to help me fix.  We're suggesting I look at many additional software adds to fix problems.  Wanted access to my computer.  Has anyone used this service or given them access?

Called this number back and some foreign scammer guy answered and assured me that my computer had an error that microsoft reported to them. Told them I thought that was amazing that microsoft has the ability to send information about my linux based system and that clearly the system is working flawlessly.

SCAM !!!

OK, so I answered the Phone, there is an Indian Accent Guy saying that I need to get to my Window fix. My Window is Broken ??....

Anyway I said Really? YES, OMG, my WINDOW is Broken and ALL GLASS.. and in Pieces....
He said can you move your Mouse on your Window? .. Sir, My Window is a Hardware, NOT Software... How can I move my Mouse on it? Let me bang on it so you can hear it.... So I BANG my desk... BAM BAM BAM... See you hear that?? Its hard, what the Fuk are you talking about Soft? Its Fuking Hard...

My Window is Made out of GLASS, and its broken, please send a Repair Man! He's said, it's this a Joke? I said it's Fuking Cold, how do you think this is a Fuking Joke? Are you Fuking Serious? My Window is Broken, and you think this is a Fuking Joke.... He said, you must like that Fuking Word... I said... YES I do! You would like that Fuking Word too, if your Window is Broken! I told him, I was COLD, and you need to send a Repair Man, what the Fuk are doing on the Phone? You should be off the Phone and call a Repair man. He asked, how cold is it? I said it's Fuking 40 Degree and Glass are all over, in Pieces... He aid can you measure the Window, I said... How the Fuk do I measure my Window when it's all in Pieces???

He then said... The repair man is on it's way and he's out side... I said ok hold on let me look... I pause for 2 seconds and said... You are a Fuking Liar, cause I just looked out of my Door, next to my Fuking Broken Window and I don't see chit! I'm fuking Cold, why are you still on the Phone??

He then asked if he can Speak to Casandra? I said, do I [***] sound like Casandra to you? Casandra is a Woman right? He said YES, I said do I sound like a Fuking Woman to you? You can even come over and check to see if I have a Pussee? Cause if you don't, then I'm NOT Casandra! Why are we talking about Casandra? My Window is STILL Fuking Broken and Glasses is all over the place and I'm still  Fuking COLD !!! Send a Fuking Repair Man! Get off the Fuking phone and call a Repair Man!

He HUNG UP! After 10 Minutes of YELLING on TOP of my lungs to send a Fuking Repair Man cause I'm Fuking Cold!

So, 5 minutes passed, he called back!

I said, YES, my Window is STILL Broken! WTF? He said can I speak to Casandra... I said, didn't we just have this conversation? Do you got the right address?? He said 118 Pleasants street... I said that is NOT me... I don't sound like I live on Peasant Street do it?

I said to him, regardless my Fuking window is still broken, and I'm still fuking cold! He said, why don't I call 911? I said, you stupid idiot, 911 is for Emergency. This is NOT an Emergency, I'm NOT that Stupid.... And even if I call 911, they will tell me to call a Repair Man! That would be you right? Since you knew that my Window is Broken?

He put me on hold, I hear Music... He said... I will call 911 for you !!! I said, you are Fuking BS' ing again! You don't' even know my Address.... How the Fuk are you going to call 911???

That's when you HUNG up! .... That was last week!

Episode #2 ---------------------------

She aid, I got a Virus on my Computer.... I said... Really??? OMG, Really??? She said to go to my Computer and Click on the Windows Icon... I said, My Window doesn't have an Icon... But you are going to Fix my Computer for Free??? She said YES.... I said OMG, Thanks Giving is Tomorrow.... You mean I'm going to get my Computer Fix for Free?

LMFAO!!!

Total bull [***]

Your vocabulary is so bad, that no one would ever hire you to work for them. Too funny! U R an idiot!!!

Got this call...Heavily accented, static on line, said he was not selling me anything, but needed to address steady stream of errors from computer.  Told him it was a scam and to forget it.  He said it was not a scam and I said FUK YOU, I know better.
Hung up..2 minutes later same call and I answered.  What do you not understand about FUK YOU?   2 minutes later same call
this time I just said Fuk You, Fuk  You.  2 minutes later same thing and my response the same.  so far 30 minutes have passed and nothing new.....We will SEE

These creeps just won't quit. They just called my home. The gentleman said he'd gotten a report that my wife was having problems with MS Windows. First, we don't use Windows. OOPS. Next, even if we did, we wouldn't respond to this kind of bs. Somebody ought to shut them down.

What a crock.  Microsoft does not phone people to tell them about errors in their system. Period. Ever.

Still billing themselves as iTech Alert from Microsoft.

Just got a call from High Tech Alert saying I needed to go to my computer and he would help me resolve my problem. He indicated that my computer was sending error messages to Microsoft every time I used it and that eventually my computer would fill up with these error messages and cause my computer to crash. When I asked for his name he said it was "Chi" and the number he called from was 888-893-9341. I advised him that I knew he was a scammer and that I was going to report him to the local authorities and to Microsoft. He said fine, go ahead and report me.

Just had the same call from"Lucia" with a very east Indian accent same garbage. It is a scam , I get this call every week or so if not more from different numbers. Unsolicited calls  are just that, bogus. Hang up or don't answer. I just laughed and told her we all know about this scam  and she hung up before I could let her have it.  12/12/14.

I recd a call from the 888 number and they said they are calling from Microsoft and that I had virus on my account. They asked me to the "view event" on my search (Start button then search at the bottom of the page). this brought all the error messages that were being sent to Microsoft. Unfortunately I fell for it - stupid of me, I know better. Even worse, per their instructions I downloaded the "team viewer" program and gave them 100% access to my computer to remove the viruses. I know, I know...so stupid. The tech person was on my computer for 2 hours and I sat at my desk watching him where he was going, to make sure he does not go to my personal file. Again, unfortunately, this idiot deleted all the new programs that I had bought and downloaded to my computer, such as "my Calendar" and my entire "Phone book". I lost all my contacts and had to start all over again. To make matters worse, they do this to sell you a security program called "Max Utilities" = Beijing SaiDaZi Laser Tech Ltd.. I agreed and purchased this and paid with a credit card (ergo: now they have my credit card number). I check this credit card on daily basis to make sure no other charges are made. The security system they sold me is pretty good however, it is a company based in China. ??? can I trust them? I dont know. So far so good and now I get a call from the 888 number claiming the same thing that "they are calling from Microsoft and they want access to my compute"...there is no way I allow this to happen to me twice. I told them on the phone and the guy started laughing. So call me stupid...no matter how careful you try to be these people sometime snuck in and catch you in a bad time. I was so desperate to fix the problems on my computer I fell for it. NOTE: Microsoft will NEVER call you so do not fall for this. Hope this helps.

Cancel your credit card with company and get a new one. I would not trust them.

I am on a do not call list and still receive several calls daily.

That is funny.  Thanks for the laugh.

Hit my blocker.

I received a phone from 888-893-9341.  The caller knew my first name. She stated she was a Microsoft computer tech and had been receiving error messages from my computer.  I usually laugh at some telemarketers creativity, because I can't get Microsoft on the phone if I need them. They are not going to be calling me about my computer when I have no problem. I asked her what she was selling.  She said, "This is not a sales call you bit**!"  And she hang up.  I called the number back and a man answered and explained that they call people to fix their computers for free.  I told him mine was not broken.  I assume they would have tried to access information about me or my computer or sell me something had I played along.   12/17/14

Female caller with slight foreign accent implied she was with Microsoft and that they'd been getting notifications of problems on our computer. Knew the call was bullsh*t so I said we had no computer and hung up. Beware.

The above people, except for Justine, are correct about this being a scam bigtime!  I worked for IBM in their support structure and we never cold call customers.   The customers called in with problems and we logged every call and what we did on every call.  Also if we needed info their were set programs,  to run to get just error logs and hardware configurations.  No customer data, user names  were ever requested or retrieved.    "Justine" is a shill and probably not her real name.    As a side note, I don't even run Microsoft and I asked the caller how then could my machine send calls to Microsoft?  He hung up.
