Just let this caller go to voice mail, left no message.  Thanks for posting previous complaints, saves me time of calling them back.

Answered the phone to find presumably an Indian caller. Said they wanted to help me fix my computer because they were receiving messages that it was full of unwanted "junk". Asked for his credentials. Only "credential" he had was that he was calling from Windows. Asked for supervisor and started to give me directions for a website and phone number. Anyone that is tasked with calling such a large group like people who have problems with windows (which is EVERYBODY!!) will have a direct superior with them or monitoring the call. And why would Microsoft spend money to fix Windows? They would just make Windows 9 or whatever number they're on now and have everyone buy that!

In addition, I check this website on all unknown callers before answering. So should you!

How do you block calls like this?

Just got a call 5 mins ago from these guys. He sounded suspicious right from the start saying he was from Microsoft and than saying I had a dangerous virus, so I just hung up obvious that it was a scam.

Received the call at 6:20 p.m. 21 Jan 2013. Answering machine picked up and after a few seconds the person on the other end said "Hello?" twice then hung up. Caller ID says Name Not Found.

Repeatedly receiving unwanted calls from this number, always a man with an Indian accent who wants to talk to me about "Microsoft Windows Program".  This happened a couple of months ago and I'd told the caller that we are on the "Do Not Call" list and was promptly hung up on.  ****SCAM****  Hang up and report!!!

Same story 09:30 AM. The FTC will not take any action without a "significant" number of complaints. They will not say what makes a "significant" number of complaints. I suggest you do the following:

(1) file a complaint at
               https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx?panel=2

(2) email or snailmail you congress-persons (Representatives and Senators) about the FTC's failure to enforce the Do-Not-Call list. Mention Donald S. Clark, Secretary of the Commission. This is the guy whose name appears on correspondence claiming they don't have enough complaints. (If you have a Republican, forget this step, their not interested in our problems or interested in accomplishing anything useful).

(3) call the FTC, Donald S. Clark, Secretary of the Commission at 1-202-326-2514.

               Complain!                   Complain!               Complain!

Yup. Thick Indian accent. Totally full of [***]. He told me he was calling from windows because of an error or whatever. I told him I don't have a computer. He says "WHY MA'AM WHY???" and I hung up.


How come under "call type" I can't select "scam"?

Listen up everyone! This is a total scam!!! I was called from this number and I don't have a computer. Do not talk or answer these calls. Please report them to the Federal Trade Commission. Don't waste your time talking to them!!!!!

The caller has thick accent.  Called my parents who in turn gave them my number to discuss it with me.  They are giving people a website that will hijack your PC.  I believe they are preying upon 50+ year olds and I believe they are getting phone numbers through social engineering (facebook).

These people claimed to be from Windows, but they are not Microsoft.  Windows is a brand and not a company.  I did manage to chuckle a bit when I listened to him, even playing along acting all so scared and such.  Then after about 10 minutes I asked him if Ubuntu Linux was windows?  He hesitated and I told him I use Linux, he started to say something and I told him to stop scamming folks.

Got a call from a woman with an Indian accent.  Told me she was from Microsoft security and she wanted to let me know my computer was infected.  She asked if I was in front of the computer and when I said no she wanted me to to go my computer.  I told her not now and hung up.

Got home at 12:05 am; ans mach was blinking -- listened to it -- sounded like someone humming.  I think I had this number call me before about my computer being infected -- told them at that time to give me a telephone number that I could call them back; they immediately hung up.  Feel badly for those who fall for this.

I have been getting this "OVERSEAS" thing for several years now, no one talks just silence then cut off. I get it several times a month.  So what I have done is put a fax machine on the line and when caller id comes up with "Overseas" we do not answer.  Just let the fax take it.  Seems to slow them down for a while but eventually happens again. I must say that I up to now never thought to type the phone number into the net and I must admit how wide spread these people are doing this and how many people are affected by it.

I live in sydney australia, this number calls every now and than, i dont answer

got a call from this number at 3.30am... by the time I got to the phone my answering machine picked up - no message left... Isn't there anything that can be done about these calls?? This is not the first call  have received. - surely the name paying the phone bill can be identified!!!.....

I have been getting a few of these calls. It seems to go in cycles almost daily to almost monthly. I've played various games with them. Not once allowing them any where near my computer systems. My favourite trick is to get a police whistle, you know the type high frequency.. Then a short sharp loud blast down the phone.

Now all I need to do is train my mum just to hang up on them

Black keyboard software PVT. They want to warn you about possible viruses on your computer. don't waste your time. they want your info.

Called here and I flat out told this moron I was with the FBI . He could not hang up fast enough !

Got a call from this guy with an Indian or maybe a fake Indian accent.  Said that there were error message reported to "windows" and wanted to walk me through keyboard instructions to clear up the problem.  I told him to send me an email of what to do because his accent was too strong.  He said he couldn't do that and hung up.  He had my name.

I keep receiving a call from this number and it is an Indian gentlemen who asks me to turn on my computer because there is a problem and he can fix it.  He never says a company name and he calls daily.  I have heard it is a scam.  I am reporting it and I am wondering how to block his calls.
