859-854-5100

I am just opening a dialog on this number.  Caller ID says King Debbie.  I don't know the number or anyone by that name, not do I know anyone in Lexington Kentucky.  Hung up with no message.

Adding this because I can't change my entry.  I put this number in Google and found that there really is/was a Debbie King located at an address in Stanford, KY.  Calling back the number with a *67 to protect my number, I got a message saying phone was disconnected.  What this seems to mean is that the scammers are picking up real numbers for real people off the internet and spoofing with them.  If that is so, it means that real people's numbers may be reported to the Do Not Call List by others who get the call.  Fortunately, since the FTC doesn't do much with these reports, we are probably safe from the guys in the black helicopters.

caller id showed it is in Junction City, KY. called me two times, no msg left.

Received two calls today from this number.  Caller ID shows "Unknown".  No message left.

DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION TO THIS CALLER! I just received a call from this number. The caller (who had a strong Middle Eastern or Indian accent) asked for me by name and said that they were calling from Microsoft regarding "an issue with my computer on which Microsoft had received information; Microsoft is calling to help you resolve the problem." The caller wanted me to get onto my computer and perform the steps he provided to resolve the problem. At this point, I said that I didn't believe he was calling from Microsoft (since the caller ID said the call came from Debbie King) and to please give me the number and extension where I could call him back to verify that he was from Microsoft; when I said this, he immediately hung up! I have actually had issues on my computer with a recent Windows update, so I'll be calling Microsoft immediately to find out how these people were able to intercept that supposedly secure transmission to Microsoft about the issue.

Several calls from this number, no message left

Received a call telling me I have problems with my computer and they could fix it. I asked what company she was with and she rattled off a name I couldn't understand. I said I didn't need her services and hung up.

Same number same message: I asked what computer problem they said open the website I will tell you and we will control your computer to fix the problem. I spent some time asking what the problem was - she gave me computer gibberish. Finally I told her I have a Macintosh with no Microsoft stuff on it. She said something unclear and hung up.

Ditto, twice! Today's caller claimed to be from Microsoft. But I had a similar call yesterday, and when he wanted me to log on to give him access, I told them I didn't have the time (true) and didn't believe they were calling from Microsoft. In both instances they hung up. I suspect it's a foreign phishing outfit, and that if you do give them access, God help you!

These are scammers and they just call tons of people randomly.  They do not know anything about your computer.

Yeah, I got the same guy twice.

Ditto same experience. I am concerned of the motive

This is the fake Microsoft technician scam. They phone you (using voip, from Asia) telling you there are problems with your computer. There aren't. Version #1 is to get control of your computer to steal passwords & banking information. Version #2 is to install malware to lock you out of your computer & hold it for ransom. Version #3 (the most common) is to make you believe you need to spend $200 to $600 to let them fix your computer. The fix is laughable to say the least, considering there was nothing wrong with your computer in the first place.

This number keeps calling during the day when we're at work, so they never get an answer. This morning they tried calling at 7:32 AM instead! Of course I still didn't answer and they didn't leave a message. I don't know why I hadn't gotten around to blocking the number yet, but I just did so now.

Avoid tech support phone scams
Cybercriminals don't just send fraudulent email messages and set up fake websites. They might also call you on the telephone and claim to be from Microsoft. They might offer to help solve your computer problems or sell you a software license. Once they have access to your computer, they can do the following:

Trick you into installing malicious software that could capture sensitive data, such as online banking user names and passwords. They might also then charge you to remove this software.

Convince you to visit legitimate websites (like www.ammyy.com) to download software that will allow them to take control of your computer remotely and adjust settings to leave your computer vulnerable.

Request credit card information so they can bill you for phony services.

Direct you to fraudulent websites and ask you to enter credit card and other personal or financial information there.

Neither Microsoft nor our partners make unsolicited phone calls (also known as cold calls) to charge you for computer security or software fixes.

Telephone tech support scams: What you need to know
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 software that will let them access your computer 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.

Here are some of the organizations that cybercriminals claim to be from:

Windows Helpdesk

Windows Service Center

Microsoft Tech Support

Microsoft Support

Windows Technical Department Support Group

Microsoft Research and Development Team (Microsoft R & D Team)

Report phone scams
Help Microsoft stop cybercriminals by reporting information about your phone scam.

In the United States, use the FTC Complaint Assistant form.

In Canada, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre can provide support.

In the United Kingdom, you can report fraud as well as unsolicited calls.

Whenever you receive a phone call or see a pop-up window on your PC and feel uncertain whether it is from someone at Microsoft, don’t take the risk. Reach out directly to one of our technical support experts dedicated to helping you at the Microsoft Answer Desk. Or you can simply call us at 1-800-426-9400 or one of our customer service phone numbers for people located around the world.

How to protect yourself from telephone tech support scams
If someone claiming to be from Microsoft tech support calls you:

Do not purchase any software or services.

Ask if there is a fee or subscription associated with the "service." If there is, hang up.

Never give control of your computer to a third party unless you can confirm that it is a legitimate representative of a computer support team with whom you are already a customer.

Take the caller's information down and immediately report it to your local authorities.

Never provide your credit card or financial information to someone claiming to be from Microsoft tech support.

What to do if you already gave information to a tech support person
If you think that you might have downloaded malware from a phone tech support scam website or allowed a cybercriminal to access your computer, take these steps:

Change your computer's password, change the password on your main email account, and change the password for any financial accounts, especially your bank and credit card.

Scan your computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner to find out if you have malware installed on your computer.

Install Microsoft Security Essentials. (Microsoft Security Essentials is a free program. If someone calls you to install this product and then charge you for it, this is also a scam.)

Note: In Windows 8, Windows Defender replaces Microsoft Security Essentials. Windows Defender runs in the background and notifies you when you need to take specific action. However, you can use it anytime to scan for malware if your computer isn’t working properly or you clicked a suspicious link online or in an email message.

Will Microsoft ever call me?
There are some cases where Microsoft will work with your Internet service provider and call you to fix a malware-infected computer—such as during the recent cleanup effort begun in our botnet takedown actions. These calls will be made by someone with whom you can verify you already are a customer. You will never receive a legitimate call from Microsoft or our partners to charge you for computer fixes.

Received a call from 8598545100 at 8am est.  Claimed to be from Microsoft Tech and that my computer was emitting a signal that was dangerous.  I asked who they were calling - she gave me Debora King name.  Told her that was not me - wrong info.  She then went on to say that maybe there was a name mix up but my computer was emitting a signal and she wants to resolve it. I told her it was illegal to call before 9am.  I asked where she was calling from - she said New York (her accent was not NY). I asked her what time it was in NY it took her about 3 minutes before she could anser me.  I told her she was full of s***!

SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM

I got the call this morning at 7:40am EST. Who can you report calls to before 8am since they are not suppose to call that early?

A liar who claims to be from Microsoft. This is my third call from this scammer that I've actually talked to (I usually ignore phone numbers that block their ID, this being "Unknown Name"). It didn't take me long to figure out he was a scammer, so now I inform him that he's a liar and that I'll be turning him in.

Simply, don't trust calls from this number. He's trying to pull some sort of scam.

Called today every 3 hours. No message is being left.

Called @7:34 AM Thanksgiving morning did not leave a message
