917-717-0247

Have gotten 2 - 3 calls per day. No messages.  We click the talk button and quickly click the end button.  They don't get my message which is stop calling.

He claimed he was an Info Serv rep calling to help me with a malicious file on Microsoft Word.  He said I had an account with the company which I asked he repeat several times due to his strong Indian accent.   He forcefully directed me to close all my files, press the windows key, followed by R.  Then I asked for his phone # in case we were cut off  which was (888) 882-3445.   After I read on the internet that he may be a scammer, I said I would have to call back.  I did not answer when he immediately called back from (917) 717-0247.

Advisory:
You may have been exposed to a variation of scam # 3, as described here:

Receiving repeated calls from this number - they are computer scammers who sound by their accents are probably in India and are using the 917 number as bogus for cover. Message to law enforcement and telecoms companies: hunt down and prosecute the perpetrators, and shut down these call centres.

called at 9:40 am on 10/14/2015. No response. Hate it.

received a call from 917-717-0247, it has to be a scam, I SHOULD KNOW BETTER, not to pick up on a number I do NOT to pick uo on any number I do not recognize.  Lesson to remember.

number calls multiple times a day with no one on other end

I had this same problem about Microsoft having malicious file. They called and I told them I had nothing on y computer.and hung up on them.  They called 2x later and once tonite again.  Answering machine is on and can't
delete the .  There is no message.

Called again next day.   Same Middle East caller??    Was going to toy with him again but he told me 'YOU BETTER START LOOKING OVER SHOULDER.      YOU WILL DIE"      TERRORIST GROUP????

Called at 8:15am! Didn't recognize the number, so didn't answer.

Same as most of the others; got a call from 917-717-0247...apparently I did not answer soon enough; they hung up as I was answering. Have had other calls from this outfit. Wish someone would put them out of business.

Answered thinking it was my son calling from his office. It was this man with a very thick accent whom I could barely understand except it had something to do with my software issue. I don't have a software issue. Blocked them.

Called twice today. Didn't answer and no message left. When tried to call the number back it just rings. I'm assuming same bull crap as everyone else is reporting. Wish we could track these boneheads down and beat them with a stick like a pinata

Called, no talking, only heavy breathing into phone! Perv alert!!!

Awfully funny that I'm having problems with my Microsoft Office -- as I run Linux and Libreoffice, you idiots.

Keep calling me over and over telling me they are calling from Microsoft regarding a problem with my computer.  I told them I have all MacBooks and to quit calling me, but it never stops.  Do not give them any information about your computers!!!

Just called, I hung up, called back, I picked up the receiver and hung up, called back, called him a sonofabitch scam artist and that his phone number was like a rash on the Internet, and hung up again.

keeps calling, only picked up once, no one answers!

Continued calls, rude heavy Middle Eastern accent...Microsoft SCAM....

This caller left a message. It was a loud and  threatening whisper. Couldn't make out what was being said. I have a device connected to my phone that allows me to block any number.  And I will do so immediately.
