800-333-7883

just a call from this #, let the answering machine get it and some lady just kept saying hello?, hello?

Answered to dead air, then an electronic voice said "goodbye".  What absolute non sense.

Just received a phone call from a man with an Indian accent calling from 1-800-333-7883.  He told me he was calling me because I own a Windows laptop and I have downloaded "the virus".  I asked what company he was from and he told me it was Masse Lisa.  He refused to provide his name or the name of the company.  I advised him I was on the National DNC list and he kept telling me I had a virus and need to give him certain information.  I hung up on him.

Just got a call, said they were from microsoft, wanted me to log on to my computer so they could fix my problem. I told him I knew this was a SCAM, he hung up on me....ha

I just received another call from a man with an Indian accent stating he wanted to fix a problem I had with windows and that he was from microsoft. I have spoken to individuals in the past with the same issue about my computer and told them I was not interested and to take me off their list. I am still getting these annoying phone calls. Is there something anyone can do about this issue that has plagued many of us that are not interested and don't want to be bothered. My curiosity was aroused to call the 800 number of the individual that just called and a recording came on that the line was disconnected. How is this when he just called me? Inquiring minds want to know.

India man called representing "Windows" and has called several times to fix a virus problem. We don't get to credit cards or booting the computer, I hang up readily for anything like that. He has argued with my wife and told her she is rude...duh...and has given me a phone number when asked (800 715 684) which can be looked up just as i looked up this number. It is a Czech or Polish number and I didn't bother to call it.
I have gotten so I recognize his voice and will screw with him a little more every time he calls. You should too!

Indian accent asks you to turn on your computer and identifies himself from Microsoft.

Same story, but I trusted long enough to watch them take over the computer and show me errors in the log file.  Talked about renewing the warranty on the software.  Told him I'd never heard of such a thing.  But step by step, he seemed like he knew what he was talking about.  But when he finally asked for $150 to "renew" the warranty on my system software, I politely told him that I was ending the call and hung up.  Now I'm edgy thinking I've given him access to my desktop with LogMeIn, and will that connection still be active...  Sheesh..!

Just received a call from this numbet indicating they were from Microsoft and wanted me to log on to my computer because I had a virus. What is this call really about?

Foreign criminals trying to gain access to your computer, steal personal & financial information, then lock you out of your computer & charge you extortion money (under the disguise of 'repair') for you to get it back.

Repeatly the indian guy has called, when told not interested he now calls back and sez" [***] off".Obviously the fcc needs to step in.  Anyone know how to do something about this obvious scam? When you call the number right back its diconnected.

I have gotten the same call twice in two days.  Watch out because Microsoft shouldn't see anything in your computer.  I think we should contact the FBI or something to stop these people...  

     As some of the above loggers mentioned this is a scam to get access to your computer so that they try to gain
 personal and/or financial information about you. Or in some cases block your your computer from being used
 unless you pay them a ransom. Like Bob. P. mentioned I like to screw with these guys too by playing stupid,
 and not understanding their instructions until they get frustrated and mad and they hang up on me.

I keep getting call from some lying individual, who says they want to fix a "virus" on my pc....I tell them they are cheating scammers, and to not call back on me.....they hang up on me.

I received a call from this number on 5/30/15 at about 1:45 pm. It was a man with an Indian accident who said I had a virus on my windows computer. He said he was from Microsoft. He directed me to my error log and said he had received the same log and that is how he knew there was a problem (yes I was naïve and went along with him for a while). He directed me to a website (red flags!) which did not look legit and told me to download something, which is when I definitely knew there was a problem. I asked for his name and a callback number - "Zach," employer ID - 11A2. Call back number - 505-615-7896 (Albuquerque). Very strange.

had the number call- googled it as it rang. saw all this. picked up. Asked what computer over and over again because i have two . the indian [***] said  "your [***] computer" i said oh is that how you are gonna talk to me?
Hang up.
Good Job fishers.. you dont care anymore

Fake Indian guy called said he was from windows... fake call im sure he was just trying to steel all my info on my computer and get my money. watch out for this scam he seemed pretty legit even knew my full name hung up on him.

I received a call from someone saying they were with Microsoft and that they were getting a message that my computer was downloading a virus and they wanted to know if I was near my computer so they could tell me how to fix it.  When I said I was not, they said Ok and hung up.  Scam if I ever heard one.

Just received a phone call from a man with an Indian accent calling from 1-800-333-7883.  He told me he was calling me because I own a Windows laptop and I have downloaded illegal files.

I told him I was a computer programmer and knew this was a scam. Guess what... he hung up on me. lol

Your phone number is not attached to your computer. This should be a RED FLAG to everyone.

I just received the same type of call.  Indian accent, says from Mircosoft service center and my computer is downing a virus.  I said thanks and I will let me computer expert take care of it.  He hung up.  I then check the number with caller id and found this info.   just wanted to share the calls are still going on.
