I have received several calls in the last couple months from several different numbers, but this one shows up most.  They identify themselves as being with the Microsoft Technical Department and that I have issues with my Windows Operating System and have been hacked.  #1 - the only computers I have that are Windows based are a laptop and a tablet with Windows 8 - I don't even use them and they aren't even connected to the internet AT ALL because I absolutely HATE Windows 8.  #2 - I have Apple computers and laptops and don't really use them because I get enough of the computer at work.  After the first call, I just get to the point when they start to say "Microsoft Tech......" and tell them not to call me again, this is a scam and "I don't even have a f****** Windows based computer in use".

I got a phone call from this number this morning. I live in the UK and was weirded out by a new York number calling my phone. I just hung up,  didn't bother to answer. I tried to ring back and number was not in service.. Glad I know it's a scam now.

3 calls today so far. Each from a different number about an hour in between each call. 1st was from 607-562-8977 (called twice within 5 minutes) "Verizon Communications Landline in Big Flats, NY" . 2nd was from 607-562-8715 "1-607-562-8715
Verizon Communications Landline in Big Flats, NY", 3rd was from 631-581-9211 "Verizon Communications Landline in Islip, NY."  
Does not leave a voicemail.

I got a call from this number and I'm in the uk I didn't answer it as I didn't know the number these scam artists are really desperate lol

This number called me today. It showed up on my phone that the number was from New York, googled the number and it seems this is definitely a scam. I've blocked the number from my phone.

Someone called me from 631-581-9211. They indicated that they are from Microsoft however my caller ID say it is a pay phone. This look like a scam beware.

Got a call from this number today, saying they we're getting reports of issues with my Microsoft account and that they needed to take control of my PC to fix.  At-least in their poor English that's what I could gather.  I made him repeat the name of his company multiple times, but it seemed he said something different each time and just ended up agreeing with what I said, even though it made no sense.  In the end, wish I could have punched him in his face...hate scammers!

Just received a call from this number, when I answered they hung up.  Believe it maybe same number that called few nights ago late saying there was an issue on my pc and they wanted to take control of it.

The people are scammers. they hit me for about $400. Do not talk to them.  The last time he said he was the fraud division. I told him he was a fraud and he told me to go F**K myself!

Received three calls last night ~only answered one - said he was from Price Waterhouse in regards to a problem we are having with Sears.  Now I know it was a scammer - not Price Waterhouse.  Somehow he knew about the problems we were having - not sure how he did.  Said they would rectify the problem by sending $7000.00 with two days for necessary repairs - advised me to have an estimate done on the repairs and if it was more than the $7000.00, they would send the difference.  Asked me all kinds of personal questions.  At the end he said he needed my Visa or Mastercard number as this was the way they were going to send the money.  I asked about sending a check however he advised that they no longer do that due to company complaints.  I asked a second time about sending a check and he said to wait a moment and he would check with his manager.  When he got back on the line ~ I heard a dog bark in the background so obviously not working at Price Waterhouse.  When I advised him that we don't use credit cards - only debit - he asked if my husband had a credit card - I said no - then he had the nerve to ask if my kids had credit cards that they could send this money to - at that point red flags were going up all over - I advised him there is NO way I would ever give out their credit card numbers.  I think any numbers that start with 6 are all scams.......be aware everyone!

Caller claimed to be calling from "Windows", and when I said there is no Windows compnay, then changed to say Microsoft was the manufacturer and Windows was the service.  I told him that I work for McAfee (I don't anymore, but still useful), and asked him for his full name, address, and phone number.  He gave the following details:
Edward Williamson
(a garbled address in London)
44-20-3318-6372
Then he stated I should call him back to verify, and if I didn't he would cancel my Windows and lock me out of my computer.

I would list this type of call as Scam.

Please send me your email address and I'll send you a dandy virus.

This number called my ph yesterday @ 11:13AM. There was no voicemail message.

Male, of Asian dialect said someone bumped my car in a parking lot. Wanted to verify personal info. I ignored the request but asked him to repeat what he said to ensure I had it right .. then told him, I didn't know what he was talking about. Promptly he hung up

ATTENTION !!!
I'm from Brussel (Belgium), this number try to reach me on the 6th march on 12.30 a.m.
It's important to tell to everybody around the world, that number try to infiltrate our personnal informations.

it's obviously a scam.

They called me 09 February 2013 and they said me the USA government chose you we will give you 7000 dollars and than they give me different number and confirmation number than I called them they asked me security number and I said I am not USA citizenship they said me you have to paid 300 dollar and after that you will get 7000 dollars every year the USA government chooses over the 500 people and you do not have to pay back. I think it is spam. Am I right?

Started calling me yesterday and have called at least 15 times from mulitple phone numbers each time asking for "carol" and something about education.  Asked them to stop calling and just continue to do so. I am going to get a whistle and start blowing it in the phone once I identify it is them.  Then maybe they will stop

These scammers are relentless. I have been receiving calls from these pinheads for more than two years now. Insults will get them PO'd, but in a couple weeks they are back at it. Ironically, I have a cousin who works for Microsoft. These pinheads just don't take a hint. The phone number changes, but the line they use is always the same. We want to give you a refund of $180 dollars.

Whatever you do, DO NOT follow their directions. Instead, play along for a few minutes to waste their time, then tell them flatly, you will be reporting this call and any other calls to the FBI cybercrimes unit. Then hang up, they will call right back and try to insult you, just laugh and let it go. PLEASE, report these idiots to the authorities.

This company calls about your computer being hacked and your windows operating system. Tell them they are a scammer or you don,t have a computer. If you don,t they will get money out of you.

Tired of these a-holes calling me, 2 weeks straight every day at same time form multiple DID numbers I want these guys shut down.They keep calling looking for a Alexandra Ybarra what a pain in my a**.

I just got a call from this number and the guy passed himself off as a representation from Microsoft and told me that our computer is at risk of hackers.  He asked me for our IP Address and License ID.  I told him that I have no proof he is who he said he is and and will not be providing the numbers and when he persisted I told him that he must have the numbers already as he's aware of our issue with hackers so asked him to give me the numbers and that I may or may not verify them.  So he rhymed off two numbers - one for IP Address and one for the License ID.  So I said well I guess you already have all the information you need and he directed me to verify the numbers and when I refused to do so he called me f------ c--- and a mother f-----.  I told him how impressed I was with his professoinalism and hung up.

called twice today, caller ID says "PAYPHONE". Did not answer.

Something about higher education asked to speak with supervisor and they hung up on me. Unable to call them as it says the number is disconnected.

Got a call from this number from a guy named Alex saying he worked for the editorial department at Who's Who magazine and he wanted to list me in their magazine.  I asked them what his last name was and he said it was only Alex.  I told him I wouldn't give him any info ulness he gave me more info.  He hung up.  He had an east indian accent.  I called back and was told number was no longer in service. SCAM!

These foriegn idiots keep calling talking about do I want to go to school for free. TOTAL scam; however, I think the people doing the scam are not sure what scam they want to run. They are idiots looking for an idiot to speak with. Plus the number comes up on the caller ID as payphone.
Just watch out for your self when receiving calls from this number.

Received a call a few minutes ago from this number.  Showed up on caller-ID as "PAYPHONE"  -- bahahaha - anyway, nobody there when I answered.  Called back and recording said the number is no longer in service ... jerks.
