567-253-9999

I didn't answer the call, but called back, and was told to check the number and try again.

Caller ID said Kelleys Island OH..foreign sounding woman asking for John. No John here..told her she had wrong number and she hung up.

I didn't answer; call number; said number not in service;

I received a call from this number 567-253-9999 at my home in the Netherlands. When I answered I only heard voices in the background (with foreign sounding accents). Calls like this are a real pain in the b....

It was a consultant trying to implay that he was from Microsoft and that they have spotted antivirus and other stuff from my computer.

I hang up on him.

they know my name and street addree but could not tell me why t hey are calling me. hmmm

Went online to see whose nr. this was....Thanks to you now I know I won't call back.

had lots of calls from this number, seems they are stalking me. picked up one time, these  are all foreign sounding people with asian accents. they claim to be microsoft service center and then try to let you open your computer for them. somehow they intercept error reports send to microsoft. then they will redirect you to a site and give them access to your computer.

ofcourse i didnt go through with this but i wanted to see what their intensions where.

be really carefull this is a hoax these people are obviously not from microsoft. microsoft will never contact you in person. and espescially not for an error report.

Keeps calling every weekend on my office phone at work. (Calls in the middle of the night local time (Norway)).
Checked it up, and really know now that it's a hoax number.

This numbers been calling my mums 3 times now here in Norway. Same procedure with english speaking woman going about some computer issue. Isn't there a way to shut down numbers like this?

Got someone calling me from this number but no response when I pick up the receiver.  Am in Norway.  Also got a call from:  006 629 973 7958.  Maybe from Asia.  Same thing, no response.

got a call just now from 001 567 253 9999.  We are in Germany and this person said he was from Microsoft and they had detected a virus on my computer.  I told them i know more about computers then he has forgotten and his response was "well F you you mother Fer" and hung up on me.  I wonder if this is really a United States number.  usually these folks are in Russia or Romania.

They have a few scams going (1) they say you have some high amount of money coming but you have to give them around 200 - 300 dollars western union (2) payday loans or money for you different reasons and want your account number (3) the Microsoft scam steal information, download viruses , and I believe they try to use your computers camera to get screwed up pictures and videos like that sacked out principle that was watching highschool girls with the computer the school just happen to let them use. (4) fake grant or school loans wanting information.   Personally I recommend giving them a piece of your mind ( calling everything but human then hanging up)     If you open some of there e-mails you start getting calls.

I've heard they are using sites where people are trying to get jobs either acting like a employer or fake job offer and that's how I got my first call and learned about these scams. I was told ahead of time to watchout for it. They tried to act like Microsoft and then the others. I even tried to see if I could get the police to bust them so that I didn't have to hear the phone ring.  They have a few different numbers and they'll usually try atleast 2 different scams before they give up for a while. They gave up for six months before starting this crap again.

Just received a call from them claiming to be Microsoft.  I managed to keep him on the phone for 20 minutes while he tried to tell me he needed access to my computer.  Eventually he told me his name was John Smith certified Microsoft technician.
