8005495301

Same scam. Recorded message that my Microsoft Key expired.

Many, many people still fall for this, and I would be willing to bet that had you gotten a person on the line they would have been from India.

my number is on the DNC and they have a special website for complaints on a number on the DNC list. I filed a complaint with them.

Keep getting calls from this number. I called back and said someone keeps calling me.  He repied it is about y computer as Windows is expiring. I adv I don have Windows, to stop calling me and  I hung up

received call and voice mail said my Microsoft key is expired.  Caller id says 'Toll Free Call'.  Another number to block.

Mark from Iowa (actually Punjavmi from India), called for my Uncle to let him know that his computer was infected with ransomware, and that his Microsoft licenses were expired - thereby making his computer vulnerable.  For a small fee of 395 dollars, punjavmi would remove the ransomware and extend the licenses for 5 years.  After a long negotiation process I lowered Punjavmi to 150 dollars.  I gave him all fake billing information, and concluded the call by telling the Cuck that I changed my mind and that my Uncles computer was fine as is.

Same as everyone else. 800-549-5301 (this time) and left message my Microsoft windows will shut down and call their number to reinstall. Scam!!! don't fall for it.

They are calling to people do not have computer. They are just targeting certain age group who start using it in their fifties.

I was just told the same lie (7:00 pm.) I was asked what was my computer saying. I told them my computer was not on. They hung up..

Received a robocall today.  Only got part of the message as when the answering machine kicked in the call started "talking".  If I don't call 800 549 5301 I will lose my Microsoft software.  Another number to be added to the blocked list.

My call came in my cell. I put the number in my auto reject list like all the other robo calls O get.

Just got a call from (800)549-5301, the caller said my Microsoft Windows user license was about to expire.  I told him my Macbook Pro doesn't use Windows so he hung up on me.  I think this is a SCAM.

No ID, no message.  I don't answer if I don't know who's calling.  Thanks for all the comments; obviously I didn't miss anything.  As long as these SCAMMERS don't have to dial the numbers one by one, and as long as there are suckers out there to be fleeced, they'll keep at it.  Blocked.

Hi,
I received the same scam call just many fellow Americans did & I told them you are not in my payroll.

I've gotten the same call several times in the last 2 weeks...So annoying...

Why does Microsoft do this?   Are they trying to move folks to MAC or Chrome?

Um ... The real Microsoft did not cold-call you.
Or, are you trying to be funny (if so, you failed)

Oh good grief!!! are you really that unaware of what others posted that you believe this was actually Microsoft leaving this scam message?

Its a troll trying to be funny, but heres some useful information:

Message from Microsoft:

Quote:

Remember, Microsoft will never proactively reach out to you to provide unsolicited PC or technical support. Any communication we have with you must be initiated by you.

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 Remote Access software that will let them access your computer to pretend 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.
