Always calls, never leaves a message shows unknown name.

Kudos!  I do the same and take over the conversation.  This fella just called me too and I tried to get him to swap a good family recipe for my sweet tea or grits recipe.  Georgia boy here.  He wanted me to hit the Microsoft start key, I use a Mac.  I have fun messing with them and wish I could get everyone they call to try to swap recipes with them or something of that nature.  If everybody they tried to steal from hit them back with the same randomness...it won't happen, but would be awesome.  Turnaround = fair play!

Another DAMN call from this number.  In future I will not answer the phone unless the WHOLE PHONE NUMBER and THE FULL NAME of the caller is displayed.  THEY CAN WASTE THEIR TIME SOMEWHERE ELSE INSTEAD OF ANNOYING PEOPLE.

253-243-1281, calls almost daily, there is no answer but after a few seconds, I hear the click of a disconnect. When I called the number back, it is a disconnected number, no longer in service

I answered (dumb) and heard nothing.  If they are those Microsoft scammers, try this:  Tell them that none of your computers run on either Windows.  ALL of your computers run under Linux.  Shuts them off right away (and it's fun!)

Received a call today (actually my wife did on her cell phone) asking for our 18 year old daughter. My wife said she was not there but her mother. They then proceeded to tell her she had issues with her computer and they were from Microsoft and needed her IP address, etc.  I asked my wife to give me the phone.  I spoke with "Bob Cooper" who sounded like someone from ISIS.  I played along with him for a bit since I knew he was a scammer.  Then Asked him where he was located. He said San Antonio . I told him the number showing was not a San Antonio number.  Then he said he was calling from Washington from Microsoft. I asked him how he could take advantage of people like this and knew he was a scammer.  He started laughing and I hung up on him.

253-243-1281 keeps calling my cell and telling me thats hes with Microsoft.Who ever he is ,he has a foreign voice

Scammers claimed that I had "error messages because of my IP address" [sic].  Asked me to look in the Windows Event Viewer to see the errors (Windows Event Viewer always shows some errors), then tried to convince me to let him remote control my machine via fastsupport-dot-com.  (That site is legit, but letting him remote to my PC would have been a bad idea.)

I claimed my Internet connection wasn't working, he became vulgar and disconnected.

I just got a call from this number and told the person they had the wrong name and that I didn't have any problems and he was scamming. He told me to s--- his ----. And other not so nice things and laughed. I hung up on him.

messed with these people good - jack andrew said he was from bit cleanup in san antonio tx with a call back # 210-888-0973 - told them i was on my computer and it wasn't working - messed with him for about 5 minutes then he proceeded to tell me to f... you and my name - f... you - ha ha

Received call 253 243 1281 my home office line.    This is the 3rd or 4th time in the past few months I've had these losers call.  Strong accent, Phillipino or India, not sure.  He told me he was with Microsoft and calling about all the messages hitting my pc. I said really I haven't seen one, I asked where he's from, says Texas.  I asked what he wanted, said again the stupid line about all the messages I'm getting on my pc.  I said really so what do you want, he says he's going to help me.   I told him he's going to hell for doing this to people and not to ....... with me again.

This morning just before 10AM PDT I received a call from 253-243-1281.  The number looked local to me so I answered and caller with an Indian, I think, accent, asked for Pamela Hill.  I told him no Pamela Hill here and he asked if I was Mr. Hill.  I told him no that he had the wrong number.  That's when he started to tell me there was something wrong with my computer.  That's when I knew a scam was in progress.  I do not give information like that over the phone and certainly not after I have read posts about this before.  Take care people, someone is always trying to take what does not belong to them.

Called twice and they said nothing a couple of minutes ago.  I recommend to not put your real name on this forum, since they read it and try you again using the name on the post.

These [***] Indians, call saying there's a problem with your computer so you can give them access to it which is called override. Which I'm sure it's to hack and get your personal banking information etc. they usually call with the caller ID that says Unknown1 so hang up on them.

Pure scam, said he worked for Microsoft.

Called at 5:20 am. When I answered, nobody was there.

No Message
Caller ID says Kent WA

Thanks to you all for providing information.

Thus number calls daily.  Never leaves a message.  Called ID shows unassigned.
