I called my state attorney general's office to complain about the same type of calls described here. They told me to call the FTC - Federal Trade Commission at 1-877-382-4357 which I did. I actually got to speak with a human being who took my complaint (you have to provide your name, address, phone and email) and directed me to their web site to read about these scams. Visit www.ftc.gov and enter "microsoft scam" in the search box. The more people who contact the FTC the more that will be done (we hope!)

I have received several calls from this number. finally answered - got a woman who sounded like she was from India and with Microsoft. Told me my laptop was being hacked and that if I logged on, she would show me and help me take care of it. I ***g up. They have not called back. It sounded very skeptical.

I have had several calls from this number. twice tonight. I tried to call the number back and the message indicated that it has been disconnected. Each time it seems to be a different person, once a woman, all who appear to have an Indian accent. They say they are from Microsoft and will help fix my computer, that I need to get on my computer right away. I have declined to do so and once I ask questions, each time they **** up.

A man "SAM", that sounded as though he was from India called me stating that he was from Microsoft and that I was a victim of a hacker. He stated that he was calling to****ist me and that it was a free service. I was very skeptical so told him I did not have a computer, he sounded confused and then he asked me if I had a laptop and I told him no. He then say good bye and ***g up.
