247-851-4245

OK shill, please give us all this wonderful company's name and web site.  It is hard to believe that after your computer was "fixed" you ran to look up their number on a phone call complaint site to sing praise of all the help you received.

You could buy a new computer for what you paid(HA..HA!!)..which makes this a SHILL ALERT!

You know what the great part is? Microsoft goes after computer BS company's making fake calls and false misleading information to rip people off for money and steal information off their computers.   Shilling is also illegal btw..

What happens when you shill..

My neighbor fell for it, too.  She told me how much faster her computer was running.  I told her about the scam and she took it to a local geek-owned computer repair place.  It turned out the caller had turned off her anti-malware.  Neighbor and her husband had to change all the passwords for their on-line banking.  They also replaced their tower - better safe than sorry.

So now your computer has no anti-malware and is loaded with viruses.  Or, more likely, you are a shill working for the scammer.

Got a call from this number.  Get these calls all the time.  As soon as he started his dialog I said "this is a scam"  he replied with " F... you B...."
Why are these people allowed to bother us constantly ??

he called at 5pm today. called again at 7:20pm. i am ex air force security, told him microsoft would jump down his throat with both feet, he got very polite and hung up.

I got a call from this # & right away they said they were calling from Microsodt, so I laughed at the guy (with a heavy foreign accent) & said I WORK for Microsoft! Then I told him to try calling people in HIS own country & try to scam them!  So tired of these frigging annoying calls!

Caller with a very heavy foreign (eastern Indian?) accent called to tell me I had something wrong with my computer.  I could tell he was reading from a script.  Knowing it was a scam, I asked which computer he was referring to.  He told me it was the Windows based one.  I told him I didn't have a Windows based computer and he said "Sh*t". When I told him his scam wasn't going to work on me, he hung up.  My caller ID showed 247-851-4245, but I know this can be spoofed.

I got same call today on my landline and my magicJack same company same Microsoft b*******. One right after another. I asked for their name and told him that this was a scam. Also told him I didn't even own a computer. It still doesn't stop them.

I asked the Indian what he wanted, and he said he wanted to [***] my wife

Before I block them I like to have a little fun with them...sometimes I tell them I am a computer instructor and 20 computers set up and ask them which onfe of the 20 would they like to see......sometimes I tell them I work for Microsoft and ask them what branch/section/office/location they work in.....sometimes I tell them I am retired law enforcement and will record all calls (BTW I am a Retired Law Enforcement)........after all that I block them...........

I do the same thing....last week was a record...one hour 45 minutes....it was so much fun...even talked to a supervisor.

"Yes, the windows key?"
"Windows?  what is that?"
"A special key?"
"but when I press it nothing happens....it doesn't print the 4 little squares or anything...maybe it's broken...is that why you are calling."
"No, it's not broken"
"But it doesn't do anything"
"No I want you to press that button"

"Yes, the square key and a large r"
"no, no large r."
"wait....wait...okay I have to reboot...can you hold on a second"

man did I have some fun...as it continued for like forever....

Simply d1ckhead foreigners trying to weasel themselves into our computer networks and rip us off. Foreign financial/technoterrorism. Screw you guys! Blocked their number. How many more decades will it take to get a phone system that we can trust? The phone companies DO NOT CARE--they make $$ on every call, even if they call ID is totally faked, and a social engineering or phishing attempt.

If we could just send an electric shock back through the phone lines to these a$$hats wasting out time...

What's your phone number?

Sandy W's Jul 10 Comment was correct, number most likely "spoofed" since the Area Code NPA-NXX 247-851 is an unassigned number block. The Area Code 247 is not assigned to any telephone company, landline, internet or wireless.

Call today just identified as "Name Not Found."  Did not answer, needless to say no message.  Did not realize the 247 was an unassigned code. In any case I never answer, and if the same number is used again, block it.

Just called; no message.  Will block.

This A****hole calling me all the time. This aria code is not in the US so I had a little fun with him. He was talking about my  windows, when I told him it is clean  we just cleaned all the windows in my home. He started talking something the virus what I have, than I told him I am taking my antibiotic 3 times a day so I am healthy. Finely I told him to call to his mom because she want to talk to him and hang up the phone.

He is 20 and his name is chase . And he said that he is comeing to my house to [***] me too times and asked me where I live . And asked if i have a laptop or a tv and i said no .

Did he say he knows where you live ? He told me that he was coming to my house to have sex with me and his name is chase and his 20 and I'm only 12 i was scared to death
