I had just finished wiping malware off of our company PC's when not 3 hours later we received a call from the number by a person named "Roy Anderson." If you get this call, do not give him any information.

I received a call but the number first showed up on my cell phone from a local number so I took the call..The guy tried to tell me the same story as everyone else has stated, but I told him I did not own a computer that even ran windows and he did not believe me and became quite rude.
I asked for a return number so my husband could call back and this is the number that was given, bougus and fake.
he has been blocked....at least from THIS fake number

Caller w/ and Indian accent said he was from microsoft and that my computer had multiple harmful emails I downloaded that were putting my system at risk. Asked me to hold down the apple button and enter: EVENTVWR.
I did not do this - and asked how he got my number. He was super sketchy and said it was from my microsoft license info and that they had tried to send me many notifications over the past 25 days that i had ignored, so that's why they had to call me. I told him my computer wasn't with me - he insisted on calling me back. I took his number: 770-884-4086 - googled it & saw it was a big scamming number used.

I received 2 calls from tis phone number #770-884-4086...he also wanted to fix the "infections" in my computer. not viruses or malware........"infections".....imagine what he did when I asked him to mail the information to me.  He said I would be confused and not know what to do.  I said give me your return phone number and if I have any questions when I receive the material in the mail I will call you.  He said if it was possible he would mail the material then abruptly HUNG UP!   Imagine That!!!

Received a call from 770-884-4086, his name is Roy Anderson & supposed to be a microsoft engineer. He offered to help fix virus on my personal computer- really!! I told him i didnt own a computer & hung up.

Speak English in the boiler room, scammer?????

Nice try Shilly! But no awards for your phoney baloney..

Now back to the boiler room with you! And don't forget to trip over your broom --->

"Grab some pine, meat!"

Yo! Dirtball!  You need to put that bottle of Jack down, and take your meds! If they're calling they're scamming!

Thank U MR JACK

You should NOT give remote access to your computer to anyone - Microsoft and it's partners do NOT cold call you, and they do not monitor your computer for viruses, etc.  More here on this scam:

Cybercriminals don't just send fraudulent email messages and set up fake websites. They might also call you on the telephone and claim to be from Microsoft. They might offer to help solve your computer problems or sell you a software license. Once they have access to your computer, they can do the following:

Trick you into installing malicious software that could capture sensitive data, such as online banking user names and passwords. They might also then charge you to remove this software.

Take control of your computer remotely and adjust settings to leave your computer vulnerable.

Request credit card information so they can bill you for phony services.

Direct you to fraudulent websites and ask you to enter credit card and other personal or financial information there.

Neither Microsoft nor our partners make unsolicited phone calls (also known as cold calls) to charge you for computer security or software fixes.

Telephone tech support scams: What you need to know
Cybercriminals often use publicly available phone directories so they might know your name and other personal information when they call you. They might even guess what operating system you're using.

Once they've gained your trust, they might ask for your user name and password or ask you to go to a website to install software that will let them access your computer to fix it. Once you do this, your computer and your personal information is vulnerable.

Do not trust unsolicited calls. Do not provide any personal information.

Here are some of the organizations that cybercriminals claim to be from:

Windows Helpdesk

Windows Service Center

Microsoft Tech Support

Microsoft Support

Windows Technical Department Support Group

Microsoft Research and Development Team (Microsoft R & D Team)

How to protect yourself from telephone tech support scams
If someone claiming to be from Microsoft tech support calls you:

Do not purchase any software or services.

Ask if there is a fee or subscription associated with the "service." If there is, hang up.

Never give control of your computer to a third party unless you can confirm that it is a legitimate representative of a computer support team with whom you are already a customer.

Take the caller's information down and immediately report it to your local authorities.

Never provide your credit card or financial information to someone claiming to be from Microsoft tech support.

What to do if you already gave information to a tech support person
If you think that you might have downloaded malware from a phone tech support scam website or allowed a cybercriminal to access your computer, take these steps:

Change your computer's password, change the password on your main email account, and change the password for any financial accounts, especially your bank and credit card.

Scan your computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner to find out if you have malware installed on your computer.

Install Microsoft Security Essentials. (Microsoft Security Essentials is a free program. If someone calls you to install this product and then charge you for it, this is also a scam.)

Note: In Windows 8, Windows Defender replaces Microsoft Security Essentials. Windows Defender runs in the background and notifies you when you need to take specific action. However, you can use it anytime to scan for malware if your computer isn?t working properly or you clicked a suspicious link online or in an email message.

Will Microsoft ever call me?
There are some cases where Microsoft will work with your Internet service provider and call you to fix a malware-infected computer?such as during the recent cleanup effort begun in our botnet takedown actions. These calls will be made by someone with whom you can verify you already are a customer. You will never receive a legitimate call from Microsoft or our partners to charge you for computer fixes.

Windows 8 includes antivirus protection that?s turned on by default.

Has anyone heard of Instant Support, supposedly through microsoft "help" center.  904 699 9831 is the number and they wanted to access my computer.  Oh SURRRREEE, come on in.  What??

Jack Harris was calling about my computer.  He is a Microsoft engineer.  When I questioned him as to why he was calling he hung up.
