855-623-2497

Call from this number saying my Microsoft subscription would end today

SCAM!  Claims to be Microsoft and that my WIndows license expires today.  This is a SCAM.  Microsoft licenses DO NOT EXPIRE.  Do not return this call and do not pay them anything.  These people are CRIMINALS!

Quote:
"This is an emergency call to notify you. Subscription of your Microsoft Windows computer has expired today. All Microsoft services on your computer will stop working by end of the day. Contact Microsoft at 855-623-2497 to. Renew. Now. I repeat again. Listen to this very carefully. This message is very important. This is an emergency call to notify you..." etc.
It's a total scam. Pay no attention. Microsoft doesn't do that, and if they did, they certainly would hire a professional to leave the message. I inserted periods in the above quote to show how stilted the robo-voice is.

Microsoft and that my WIndows license expires today.  This is a SCAM.  Hung Up

All calls appear to be the same my voice mail picked it up since I never answer toll free numbers nor numbers I don't know!

The Caller ID listed was "800 Service".  The recording stated this was an emergency call and my Microsoft services would stop at the end of the day.  I didn't answer. I get calls like this all the time.  I find it particularly interesting when Caller ID lists my late husband.  The Microsoft scammer is spoofing my phone number to call me.  Now that's a dumb criminal!

Warning! This is a Tech Support Scam number!

Listen to message

This bakrichod must be just learning to speak English, because that was one sad recording!

Help spread the word and prevent someone from becoming a victim.

Fact:

• ANYONE who calls or emails you and says your computer called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
• ANYONE who calls or emails you and says your online server called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
• Windows Operating System licenses do not expire.
• ANYONE who calls or emails you with a message about your computer having illegal activity, is a SCAMMER.
• Apple will never, ever call you about alleged suspicious iCloud activity.
• ANY Tech Support Warning pop-ups you get while accessing the internet asking you to call a number or visit a website, is from a SCAMMER.
• Web Browsers DO NOT have the ability to determine and warn you your computer has an error. They can only warn you about a potential malicious website. A Browser is software that allows you to surf the Internet, not diagnose a computer or phone.
• ANY Tech Support company that insists you need their services because of some error, outdated software or tries to convince you that you need to allow them remote access is a SCAMMER.
• Nobody could possibly know if your computer or devices have an issue unless you tell them or gave them access.
• Tech Support companies DO NOT call or email to give out refunds because they are "going out of business", or to "cancel a subscription".  Companies DO NOT give refunds unless they have to.
• Companies DO NOT call to inform you that your subscription will be charged if you don't call back, only SCAMMERS do that. If you have a subscription with someone, they automatically charge you until you cancel it and they don't give a refund.
• Only a Scammer would want Remote Access to give a Refund.
• 3rd party Tech services DO NOT include Email account repairing or password resetting, since they can not access the email server unless it belongs to them.

Never trust a caller who wants to "help your computer" for any reason (unless you contacted them first), as they are only going to scam you. If you need Tech Support, you should contact a reputable local service.

Received this morning same call as others above have described.  Indeed, a scam.  I do not answer such calls when I cannot identify from the caller ID.

Same message.
