this number called at 11:00 am eastern time today and i called back and i heard this number is temporarly out of service

Its a scam with people saying they're from Microsoft and saying they've detected a problem with your computer. Sounds like its based in India. Ive had a few of these calls.

got call from a man said he is from Microsoft, my computer has problem...I hung up.

Received same at 08:24 AM. Left no msg. Added to call blocker.

I did'nt pick up the phone

Scammer who totally ignores the DNC. Call received at 7:50 am, complaint filled with FTC.

I kept on getting 2-3 calls per day from this number at different hours. Today i finally picked up. I guy with heave Indian accent said he is calling from Microsoft center. I asked from where and how they got my number. He stated  "you know when you computer has error messages and you click ok to share with Microsoft? So we are calling to follow up on your issues with you computer." I told him I don't own a PC, nothing to do with Microsoft. He then switched gears and asked if i owned a "Macintosh". Come on, a total scam!! 1) Everyone is USA says "mac"; 2) Apple is a completely different company and they wouldn't be calling you.
When I told the guy again that I don't own a computer and asked for the 3rd time in a row to remove my number from their calling list he rudely hung up. Added to the block list with my cell company.

Received call and after two rings they hung up.  Like another above, I called the number back 6:20 p.m. Eastern time and got a message that it is an out of service number.  I will try to answer more quickly next time and screw with their heads.  The DNC registry obviously doesn't work.  I have so many numbers on call block for these multiple scam outfits that I have no more room to block another.  PHEW!  The land of the free...

>> The DNC registry obviously doesn't work. <<

Incorrect.
It is your understanding of the purpose of the DNC list that is lacking.

What everyone should know about the Federal Do Not Call List.

1.  The DNC list is effective in reducing or eliminating calls from legitimate telemarketers - telemarketers who have registered with the FCC.

2.  The DNC list is NOT intended to, nor can it do the following:
-- automatically block calls.
-- stop calls from:
--- politicians
--- survey companies
--- debt collectors
--- companies with which you have a "business relationship"
--- NON registered "telemarketers" (they do not subscribe to the list, and do not care about the list)
--- telespammers, telescum, and other criminals (these people ignore the law)

3.  The DNC list is for use by private phones, not business phones

The DNC does indeed work, and is quite effective, if you consider the above statements.

If you wish more protection than that afforded by the DNC provisions, obtain a call blocker device, phone or app.  with more capability.  Google is your friend.

If you wish to report a telespammer, report it to the FTC

got a call, it went to voice mail, when I listened, just a lot of heavy breathing and lots of background noises, TV or something

Received a call from this number today. The guy claimed he is calling from Microsoft regarding windows updates, and he needs to send me the updates. I said I don't need updates and he hung up. Definitely a scam.

This number is calling on my landline late at night AND early in the morning.  I let it go into msg and obviously it doesn't leave a msg because it's another scammer... but my landline is solely for Life Alert for eldercare, so it's very scary when these [***] wake me up after I've gone to bed, or early in the morning.  I do NOT need the extra stress! Why can't somebody do something to protect us from this awful nightmare?

the same problem this guy is indian guy and is expert installing a malware in you PC, they can truck you after that. Report to FBI this issues.

I just received a call from this number.  The man says that there is a virus on my computer.  Microsoft.  Was I aware. I hung up

Decided to have some fun with these jerks. I added them to my contact list as "microsoft scammers" and take their calls during my commute to work. I play the game of keeping them on the phone with all kinds of crazy dialogue. keeps them on the phone so they can't harass more people, and helps pass the time when stuck in traffic.

Microsoft scam

Just received a call from a guy who sounded like he was from India stating there was a problem with my Mircosoft computer. I just hung up. Total scam!

Told the guy with thick Indian Accent, that I have a mac computer, they hang up, hope they don't call again

I have received many calls from this number, I finally answered and a man with heavy Indian accent started telling me they been receiving error messages from my computer and try to get me to give them access to my computer. My son took the call and told them they were traced by the FBI based on the call and they hanged up.

the caller has Russian accent. he said he's from microsoft and something wrong with my computer and need to remote into my computer. i told him that i am MCITP, and i tell him to go to hell.
