800-910-1740

this is supposed to be Windows security

This is supposed to be Microsoft Security.

Is this a real number for MD support? Note said someone from Russia signed in

Not a phone call but a notification on my computer that unusual sign in activity from Russia, IP address 249.36.18.92. I am hoping this really is a Microsoft security number. I have Web security on my computer, and it didn't detect any problems. Just in case, I changed my passwords on my computer.

Pretty sure this is a scam. I didn't call the number, but the message was in my spam file, saying Microsoft had noticed some unusual sign-in from Russia. I deleted it without calling.

It's not Microsoft. See my message below. Same as what you received. Message was in my spam file, with a message at the top from AOL saying the links had been disabled.

I just got this email message from "Security Centre" (British spelling of "Centre" so it's not US based); I think it's spam

Same as up above 1800-910-1740 wants me to call because unusual sign in said Country Russia. Browser Chrome as well?  Is this a legit phone number?

I also am not calling.

Message telling me that my Microsoft Windows license had been revoked. Someone had been accessing child porn on my computer. To call 1-800-910-1740 to get license back. I have never accessed any pornography on my computer. I am having no problem with my OS. So it has to be spam. Did not even have my email address correct, don’t know how I even got the email. Did not call the number just deleted the message.

I have received the same email as Rick at least 10 times (several times to call this number, other times had different numbers). Today I received a message from "Microsoft Support" telling me that my Windows license was being cancelled because child pornography had been accessed from my computer (which is ridiculous),and if this wasn't me to call this number. Today however they goofed and whoever sent the email forgot to hit blind carbon copy and this message was  sent to 501 people (including me).

Same as those just above.  Came as an email.  Pornography  accessed From my computer (NOT!).  My license has been revoked,  Call Microsoft support at this number.  I think it is scammers.  I’m deleting it.

dam scammers got same message i was we have detected child nasty [***] i dont do that wtf with this dumb number to call was in my spam message address to about 500 people as well wtf is wrong with these scammers. nasty i deleted it .

Same as above.  Found child pornography/revoked windows license/ etc. Call above number if it wasn't me. Too bad they don't get real jobs and help people instead of scamming them. Lazy bunch of *******!

same email that everyone else got.

Same as all the others

Ha! I got a similar warning. I think I should find a pay phone and call the number.
NOTE: I have been told that blocking a number with *67 doesn't work when you call a toll free number.
