A man called from this number and said he was from Microsoft and that my computer was contacting them because of an error. I was immediately suspicious because they asked for my husband because it was his computer. My husband has never registered a computer in his name. I am the tech savy person of the household and this really threw up a red flag. He really started sounding defeated when i told him that I wasnt buying what he was selling and that I would do some checking and if he gave me a number I would give him a call back.

After ignoring many calls from this number, I finally answered, expecting some kind of sales call. Instead, the person calling said that he is from Microsoft! He said that my PC had contacted MS and had reported errors that the MS Technical Team (meaning him) could fix. He requested that I start my computer and let him access it remotely, in order to fix the problems.
At that point, I asked for a phone number that I can call back after having verified this information. He said to hold on a few seconds while he got me the number. Not surprisingly, the line went dead right away. He didn't call back.
Clearly, this is a scam hoping to trick people into letting crooks onto your computer. Once there, these crooks may get access to any information on your computer.
Please be careful, and challenge EVERYONE who asks to get access to your computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc.

James claimed to be with Microsoft and said that my Windows computer was reporting lots of errors and that he could help me fix that. I know poeple who have caved in for this scam before.
