584-236-4723

584-236-5723.  Called before 6 AM on a Friday.  Did not answer.  Glad I didn't.  Thanks for sharing.

I have had 3 calls.  The first said he was with the technical help dept. with Windows and that they got a message from my computer saying there was a problem.  He asked if I was sitting in front of my computer...when I challenged him he hung up. The 2nd &3rd were the same type .  The 2nd hung up on me when I challenged her (2nd was a female).  This morning was the 3rd call (all this week, I might add) I told him this was a scam and I'm calling the police.  He responded, "ok, you call police". Then hung up.

Received call at 7:00am!! Did not take call!!

Called me the same time and when I answered there was no one speaking!  This is getting out of hand!

This is the same old scam of someone saying they are with Microsoft and they want to help you with a computer problem.  Heavy accent and do not speak English well.

2 calls, the most recent @ 7:54 AM.  Didn't answer either, and no message was left.  These kinds of slime bags should pilloried!!

These idiots called me at 5:51 AM. They call again like that and they are getting air horned. It is illegal to call before 8 AM.

Avoid tech support phone scams
Cybercriminals don't just send fraudulent email messages and set up fake websites. They might also call you on the telephone and claim to be from Microsoft. They might offer to help solve your computer problems or sell you a software license. Once they have access to your computer, they can do the following:

Trick you into installing malicious software that could capture sensitive data, such as online banking user names and passwords. They might also then charge you to remove this software.

Convince you to visit legitimate websites (like www.ammyy.com) to download software that will allow them to take control of your computer remotely and adjust settings to leave your computer vulnerable.

Request credit card information so they can bill you for phony services.

Direct you to fraudulent websites and ask you to enter credit card and other personal or financial information there.

Neither Microsoft nor our partners make unsolicited phone calls (also known as cold calls) to charge you for computer security or software fixes.

Telephone tech support scams: What you need to know
Cybercriminals often use publicly available phone directories, so they might know your name and other personal information when they call you. They might even guess what operating system you're using.

Once they've gained your trust, they might ask for your user name and password or ask you to go to a legitimate website (such as www.ammyy.com) to install software that will let them access your computer to fix it. Once you do this, your computer and your personal information are vulnerable.

Do not trust unsolicited calls. Do not provide any personal information.

Here are some of the organizations that cybercriminals claim to be from:

Windows Helpdesk

Windows Service Center

Microsoft Tech Support

Microsoft Support

Windows Technical Department Support Group

Microsoft Research and Development Team (Microsoft R & D Team)

Report phone scams
Help Microsoft stop cybercriminals by reporting information about your phone scam.

In the United States, use the FTC Complaint Assistant form.

In Canada, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre can provide support.

In the United Kingdom, you can report fraud as well as unsolicited calls.

Whenever you receive a phone call or see a pop-up window on your PC and feel uncertain whether it is from someone at Microsoft, don’t take the risk. Reach out directly to one of our technical support experts dedicated to helping you at the Microsoft Answer Desk. Or you can simply call us at 1-800-426-9400 or one of our customer service phone numbers for people located around the world.

How to protect yourself from telephone tech support scams
If someone claiming to be from Microsoft tech support calls you:

Do not purchase any software or services.

Ask if there is a fee or subscription associated with the "service." If there is, hang up.

Never give control of your computer to a third party unless you can confirm that it is a legitimate representative of a computer support team with whom you are already a customer.

Take the caller's information down and immediately report it to your local authorities.

Never provide your credit card or financial information to someone claiming to be from Microsoft tech support.

What to do if you already gave information to a tech support person
If you think that you might have downloaded malware from a phone tech support scam website or allowed a cybercriminal to access your computer, take these steps:

Change your computer's password, change the password on your main email account, and change the password for any financial accounts, especially your bank and credit card.

Scan your computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner to find out if you have malware installed on your computer.

Install Microsoft Security Essentials. (Microsoft Security Essentials is a free program. If someone calls you to install this product and then charge you for it, this is also a scam.)

Note: In Windows 8, Windows Defender replaces Microsoft Security Essentials. Windows Defender runs in the background and notifies you when you need to take specific action. However, you can use it anytime to scan for malware if your computer isn’t working properly or you clicked a suspicious link online or in an email message.

Will Microsoft ever call me?
There are some cases where Microsoft will work with your Internet service provider and call you to fix a malware-infected computer—such as during the recent cleanup effort begun in our botnet takedown actions. These calls will be made by someone with whom you can verify you already are a customer. You will never receive a legitimate call from Microsoft or our partners to charge you for computer fixes.

Called at 7 am on thanks giving , wow wow.. she said the same crap about my computer, i told at this hour of the day i really don't care for my computer but i was very hard.. she hung up. Thanks for the call :)

Caller claimed there was a problem with my computer.  I told him he was full of **** and not to bother me again.

This number called our home at 6 am waking up the whole house. Woke up my aging father and little kids. If I could wrap my hands around the neck of the person running this scam I would gladly face the consequences.

Sorry for the double post. Reported for removal.

Called To Extend My Warrenty On Microsoft Windows. Said His Name Was James Parker.Sounded Like He Was From India.
Sounded Like He really Wanted To Help Me Until At The End Of The Call, He Wanted Money. Got A Second Call A Few Weeks Later.He Was Going To Fix Everything For A Reduced Price But Wanted To Draft The Charge Out Of My Checking Account.He Was Upset When I Refused & Said That I Would Do A Credit Card Instead.Before I Gave My Card Number,He Wanted My Date Of Birth.He Was More Upset When I Would Not Give Him That.He Hung Up After That.I Am Sure That This Was A Scam.

Received two calls from this number, six days apart, at 7:00 a.m.  I did not answer.

This caller has awakened us at 6 am twice!  I do not answer numbers I do not recognize.  No telemarketer has to call that early  (maybe they are in another country and unaware of the time difference)  Check the DO NOT CALL LIST

Just had a call at 6am n a Saturday morning.  I didn't pick up and no message left.

Before 6am on Saturday morning. A guy with an Indian accent you could cut with a plastic knife, who claimed to be from Microsoft and that my computer sent an email all by itself that it had been infected with a virus. I'm not a morning person to begin with, but that early in the morning I thought it was some type of emergency. Because why else would someone call a person before 6 in the morning any day of the week. And I'm on the Do Not Call list.

Received a call from 584-236-4723 at 5:33am on 12/7/15. I did not answer & they left no message. I am on do not call. Why are they calling at 5:33 AM?

The first two calls from this number was no answer; The 3rd call was a computer tech with Indian accent who said my computer was attached by Malware and needed to be remediated.  He asked if my computer was on & I said no.  I hung up and he repeatedly called 2 more times.   I blocked the number.  This is a known computer scam attempt to remotely access my computer illegally.
