212-133-8326 is the number that shows on the caller ID. The read out says New York Call. This is a fraudulent call. These cybercriminals are trying to scam money out of you. When answered the party tried to convince me that my computer needs help. They think I'm stupid enough to believe that Microsoft is monitoring my computer and that it is sending them error messages that they need access to my computer to fix.
First time I got this call I played along like I was stupid and when they were trying to explain I ended up asking them how could this be happening when I don't have a Microsoft computer? They hung up but I wasted a lot of their time.
Now when the call number comes up I just answer... Microsoft System Repairs, How may I help you?...It shocks them and then they immediately hang up. lol
