They called hung up twice then i blocked that nunmer and they called back from a simuliar number so i blocked that also

Thank you Panasonic for call block feature. Wish it had 3000 numbers not thirty max.

Says Texas. Must be a bunch of Texas Perry Republican loudmouths.

     Please read and learn, Each time we get a call from a number we can't call back or from Card Member Services.. I call our phone carrier (A.T.T.) (Verizon) who ever you have. The point of this is if these people make one million calls a day and if our carriers get 500.000 calls a day with people saying hay what up. Who is calling, please do something. Our telephone carriers will soon do something about these calls. Each time we call we give our name and number and I have at one time called 6 times in one day Verizon didn't seem to mind.
All we have to do is take up some of their time, while they mark down what type of call was made, if they start getting 100.000 complaints a day. these calls to you will stop. please copy and pass along to other web sites. By all means write your own, lets get our point across to our phone company.

Sick of these unsolicited calls.  Please stop.

I got a call from this number.  Funny thing is I'm not in the US.

unwanted call. No answer

This number call every day of the week

this number calls everyday- leaves no message. If you call back it is a non working number. Today I answered the phone but didn't say hello. You can hear alot of other people talking in the background.I refuse to talk to them- the person yelling hello had an accent. I am on the don't call list. Very annoying.

I got a lot of calls from #201-000-0000. The person said that he is the Windows representative and asked me to do some investigations to prevent  Windows crash.

I received a call from 201-000-0000 - BS 3 Inc. A guy claimed they work with MS and try to full me and conect to my computer. Thanks to this web-site did a littele research while having him on the phone then confronted him about theses posting & Massages. He drop the call. Scammers .
THANKS A LOT to everybody who spent some time and made those warnings available on-line in few minutes of search.

Below is a copy n paste from another forum explaining the scam:-

I get these phone calls about one a week. Last time, I was ready for them: I had a machine set up with a clean XP installation, so I played dumb to see what they would do.

They pose as "Windows Support Centre", or suchlike, and say that they've been receiving reports from your computer that there's a problem. You'll probably be asked how old the machine is - however old it is, seemingly, you'll be told that the warranty on your Windows software has expired, or that you should have taken one out when you bought it. Then, you'll be talked though opening something called the Event Viewer, and shown a screen that contains a number of warnings and errors. They will tell you that this is serious, even to the extent that it's causing problems that might force your ISP to cut your connection and/or inform the police.

Let's stop here and make two points:

1. There may well be something called a "Windows warranty". However, I have been a Microsoft Partner for nearly a decade, and I've never heard of such a thing. I think we can assume that if such a thing existed, Microsoft would be sending me lots of information on how I can make money selling it. They haven't, because there isn't.

2. I've never seen an Event Viewer that didn't have warnings and errors, and I've been a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer since 1999. Its function is to keep a record of everything that happens to the operating system so that people like me can find out what's happening if something has gone wrong. Most of the time, though, there's nothing to be alarmed about - in my case, most of the warnings were due to a printer not being found on the network because I'd switched it off.

OK, so the next stage is that you get passed to the "Technical Department". This is where it got interesting: I was told that a six digit support number was being generated so that my problem could be resolved, and I was directed to a website called logmein123, where I could enter this number. Now, this is a common tool used by people like me to fix machines over the network - clients call me with a problem, I can connect to the machine and show them what to do without having to leave my office. In this case, they were going to "fix" my machine. So I let them in. At this point, we will pause for a warning:

WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME ON YOUR MACHINE. I WAS GIVING THIS GUY COMPLETE ACCESS TO MY COMPUTER. HE COULD DO ANYTHING HE LIKED, TRANSFER FILES TO INSPECT AT LEISURE, ETC. I WAS USING A MACHINE WITH NOTHING ON IT BUT THE OPERATING SYSTEM. REPEAT: DO NOT LET ANYONE YOU DO NOT KNOW AND TRUST ONTO YOUR SYSTEM IN THIS WAY.

The first thing was that as soon as he connected, I could see the IP address he was connecting from, and I was able to trace this back to a company name, and trace the company back to its offices in Mumbai. While I was doing this (on another machine), I was watching a rather nasty piece of software being uploaded to my machine and installed. A bit of fiddling around, and I was asked to try running a few programs. Lo and behold, they all crashed with frightening looking error messages - remember, this was a machine that was working perfectly a few minutes before. This was explained as a consequence of the problems that I was having before, and that the diagnostic program they were running was now blocking programs that could get me into trouble.

This was the point at which I was asked for money - they started at £100 to fix the problem I already had, with an additional £80 for a simple one year warranty to protect me in the future, or if I preferred, I could give them £299 for an all-in package including fix, anti-virus software and a five year warranty. Visa and Mastercard accepted. If I didn't want to go ahead, then I wouldn't be able to do anything with it until it was fixed.

At this point I let him know what I was doing, complete with telling him the name and address of the company he was working for. I expected him to hang up on me, but he decided to argue with me, at one point telling me that I wasn't an MCSE and I didn't know what I was talking about. In the end, I just told him that if he had been in this country, he could expect to be arrested, and hung up on him.

So, in summary, I wasted my time in this way so you don't have to. If these pirates call you, don't say a word. Just put the phone down.

I got the call multiple times where it just said "goodbye" for about 2 weeks.  Finally someone (Indian accent) was there when I picked up and said they are from Microsoft and my computer is infected, he told me my email address and everything.  He was a fast talker and cutting out.  I said bad connection and he said he will call me back from another line.  He called back from a Manhattan number 646-688-3378.  I had looked 201-000-0000 up while waiting for the call back and see it seems to be a scam.  
He called back and I heard him say something about drivers and blah blah blah (he was talking so fast and not letting me talk so it's definitely a scam).  Told him not to call me anymore.

Just received a call from this number.  

They called the wrong one.  I own a security consulting company and specialize in these types of social engineering attacks.  

The caller told me that they were from Microsoft and that I was inadvertently distributing malware from my PC.  Well...

#1. I don't own a single Microsoft product
#2. Microsoft would not waste the time or money to call.  This is why they diligently release patches
#3. Calling from a blocked number makes you suspicious right off the bat.

Seem this is from local scam artist...calls from India call center had been stop.
Look like they got the voters-list..it's illegal to obtain such document, not to say to use it for other purposes.

Got a call from this number and there was silence and then "goodbye".  Have received a couple of these calls.

Indian woman called our office - something about Microsoft - I said YEAH RIGHT don't call here again and hung up in her ear.  As if she was REALLY calling from NJ too in the middle of a hurricane!  That Microsoft scam is so old; I can't believe anybody still falls for it.

Got a call from 201-000-0000. What's this # ?

Same thing just happened to me but this moth******er knows my name better than myself. That's s*** is crazy.

got the phoe call today and tell tell me is from Microsoft, people complain about my computer and ask me if I can go to this website and they offer free diags. I told them If you can give me a phone number that I can verify that you said who you are from Microsoft and I will call you grandpa, the guy with hindi just hang up. what a bs

It keeps on calling in the evenings.  Daily

Stop already!!! What a pain!

I too got a call from these ppl a couple months ago I threw them off when I told them I only buy Mac and have for years! They didn't expect that one. They just called again this time it was to listen and then after a minute. Or less a recorded voice says "goodbye" and the line gets disconnected. Idk but I am still trying to figure it out.

I get a call almost everyday...the one time I picked it up the man had like an indian acient and was saying some.nonsense about some.program on.my computer no working righ becaus3 of something wrong with my microsoft ...I.was like ni no no.....how u know whats on my computer and what # is this and he couldn't give me a straight omg   right now I jus got a.call fom 201-200-7040   hmmmm...gonna.google.tht noe....somebody do.something with these hackers

Got call from this number telling me I need to repair my windows operating system.

We get this number calling the house every day around the same time and they just hang up....what the ....

I just got the call from a hindi lady telling me she works for M$ and that my computer was "infected"
She asked me what operating system I was on and if I was the administrator. Red flags went up so I asked her why she doesnt know what OS I have it should be on any report M$ gets.

I decided to play with her for a bit and listen to her demands, she told me to open start menu and then I asked what to do next, I told her I knew what I was doing  and she hung up on me.

This is obviously a scam, next time she calls I will play stupid and do a remote assistance with her to gain her IP address which I will post here.

I think they want to get your computer info/ log onto your computer or maybe credit card info.  Don't answer.  They claimed to be Microsoft with me- BS.

Just got a call from them and they said they were from Microsoft and that they wanted me to update my warranty on my computer because they were receiving "error" logs from my computer.  Made me check a bunch of logs on my computer.  They know the average person does not know much about their computer's operating system.
I just got a new computer within the last week so I know this is B.S.  They had my correct name/ e-mail address and phone.  I was already suspicious and then the caller (slight Indian accent) said that the server was down and that he would call me around 12 tomorrow for about 15 minutes to update everything.  Before he hung up, I was already searching for this # on the web.  I am glad it exists and hope others will benefit from my post and those on this site.  I noticed they called me before but never left a message.  I will ignore this caller from now on.  They might want to log onto your computer remotely- Don't let them do it!  I smell scam.  Good Luck and stay alert!

Same thing, after 20 seconds of silence, a recorded 'good bye'. What happenned to the DNC list?

Stop calling
