516-262-4297

Didn't answer this unrecognized number.  Message was a beep followed by "goodbye".

When I answered the phone, the person at the other end said he was calling from Microsoft and asked for 'the person responsible for the home computer'.
This was definitely a scam call.

Hi, i just got a call from the same number but I didn't answer it. Yes, it is a scam!

5162624297 is keeping call me. I call back and only leave message. Ignore it.

1-516-262-4297 Called on 3 November 2020 at 7:18 PM EST to Canadian number, Indian accent from India and so called Microsoft about computer, definitely by calling frequently to different numbers in North America is a scam call, do not answer just block using call blocker.

I've had countless calls from these people saying they are from Microsoft.  On one call the guy said they would have to shut down my computer for three days.  When I tell them I do not have a Microsoft account, they hang up but then a few days later they call back.  Today when I answered the phone, there was silence,  then a recording said, "good-bye".

The caller pretends to be from the Microsoft Tech Support. Clearly a scam; the real Tech Support will not call anyone if the customer did not initiate the contact.
The scammer wanted me to press the Windows key and the R key. Since most of Windows users aren't familiar with that feature, it is easy to get them run some diagnostics and pretend that the output shows a problem, even if the computer is in fact perfectly fine. Then, it's time to fish for user names / passwords / credit cards etc, supposedly to fix the problem.
I played an idiot for some time, pretending to be too stupid to execute that shortcut. Then both of us got tired and we hang up.
If you aren't into playing cat-n-mouse, then you should hang up on them, or refuse to do anything they ask you to do. And, warn your family members.

i got just got the same call. I said i dont have a home computer and called hang up... Scam Call for sure

Answered this call but on one speaking on the other end.  Hung up.

called no message left on voicmail , sounds like I avoided the microsoft scam  or someone looking for valid phone numbers ?
