Fortunately, I work for Federal Communications Commission and have routed the number, contact information (person/company that registered the number) to authorities here for follow-up.  

Received a call from 904-699-9831 around 6:45 pm from my work number from a guy with an indian accent asking for an individual with the last name that happened to be mine. He did not introduce himself to inform me that he was calling about anything or what company etc. I just played dumb repeating our business name a few times along with who he was. He finally asked if we were a business I replied yes and asked for mrs. ______ and I replied no one by that name. He then hung up. Odd that if what everyone is claiming it has to do with virus alerts from personal computers I didn't even have mine or was on one.

Call from this number today stating he was an engineer technician that works for Microsoft.  He stated that he received a message in the Microsoft inbox saying my computer had recently attracted a virus and I needed to follow his steps in order to correct it and remove the virus. He asked how many computers we had and if we recently uploaded a new program. I went as far as sitting at my computer and then he told me to push the Windows key and the letter r. He became a but irritated with me when I said to him, how do i know your not the scammer? I asked him to hold and I contacted my local PC repair outfit from my other line. My PC repair guy told me it's a scam, nobody will ever call you from Microsoft and to hang up. I hung up the phone and they called back three more times from the same number!  

After this number called me constantly for a week, this is the exact thing that was finally said to me. Luckily, my IT boyfriend took the call and told them they were full of poo and didn't need to call us again. A month later, they are calling again.

Received call from 904-699-9831 two days in a row.  Hubby answered, lady started talking about computer and he didn't give her a chance.  Told her she reached Chicago computer crime lab.  She asked for his name and badge number.  He rattled off fake name and badge number.  She responded good luck catching me and hung up.  Mid-eastern accent.

Received the same basic phone call from a Roy Andersen (with a very hard to understand east indian accent) that he was a certified Microsoft engineer working for Instant Tech Support. He stated my  computer is sending out viruses. I had to ask him repeatedly for his name and company name. This is exactly why family planning and abortion services are necessary, anybody that has to bother people for a living doesn't need to be here! Our school systems need to be changed immediately, starting at the K level. That everyone needs to be held accountable for their actions. DON'T BREED WHAT YOU CAN'T FEED!  

what type of scam is this? repeated calls at all times of day.  blocked call through carrier.  to whom can this harassment be reported??

I have gotten calls three times, I just tell him I dont believe him and hang up.
report him every time, thats the only way he'll get caught

Very persistent woman claiming to be from Microsoft and that I had viruses detected on my computer. She said she could help walk me through fixing it and I told her I wasn't near my computer to do this and haven't answered since. This number has called back at least twice a day for the last 2 weeks and I finally have blocked the number

This number calls once or twice a day! If it ends up going to voicemail there will be no message just silence. Make it stop!!!!!

I have gotten a call from this number multiple times this week as well (on my cell phone # that I NEVER give out... and I live in MN...)  regarding a Microsoft PC computer... I own a Mac.
Definitely blocking this number as well. One scam after another these days...

This guy has been calling for weeks and after reading these messages decided to answer. Sure enough said his name was Ray from Microsoft and my computer was sending them virus messages. Was great to be able to call him out telling him I don't have a computer just a tablet also warned him I was reporting him to FTC since I'm on the do not call list. Doesn't do much good though he called again 2 hours later. The list does no good.

Calls non-stop.  Have no clue who this is.

This number 904-699-9831 calls me sveral times a day every day. STOP CALLING. I don't know who it is but please STOP.

This number has been calling my cell 4 - 5 times a day for the last several days.  when I returned the call, it says the mailbox hasn't been set up.
How do you stop it.

Receive the same type phone call today. I hope everyone hangs up on him but somewhere he will find someone who will beleive him. How can we stop them ?

They have been calling me multiple times for weeks without leaving voicemails, I finally answer and it is a guy with an indian accent who claims he is from microsoft and they need access to my computer to fix it as the malfunction is dangerous to my computer. This is a scam do not give them any info, Microsoft would never call your personal cell phone for something like that. I have already reported them to the FTC

Called my home. Told me he was a microsoft technician and viruses were coming from my computer. I knew this was a scam. Same call, different area code. (503) area code, about a month ago. This time I told him I had no computer of any type. He asked if a had a tablet instead, I told him no. PLEASE get these low life, scum sucking b*****ds !

They called my cell phone and when I answered it there was a loud beeping sound. As soon as I heard tge beep I imedietly hung up! Who ever is calling just stinkin stop!!!!!!!!!

ITS A SCAM

Obama has nothing to do with these calls.  People like you are so filled with hate for the man that you blame everything on him.  Ignorance is what is killing this country not Obama

got a call from this number today.. picked it up. the line was very staticy and he had an indian accent. He told me he was a lad tech from Microsoft and my computer has sent them virus information. I said the following " Really - that is funny because I am hacker with the Department of Defense. I have 3 firewalls and 4 virus protection programs on my system. How can i be sending microsoft a virus. call me again and you'll have the FBI at your door in less than 60 seconds."  ( I used to work for the gov't and know alot of contacts but I'm in the banking industry now).. The line got really quiet. and He said " oh my goodness are you serious". I told him " you are trying to scam the wrong person, try me again pal I'm not kidding". after another 15 second silent period he said " well i'm from the FBI and you are sending me a virus". I said " huh, thought you were a lead analyst with microsoft". and he said well uh... and I hung up the phone.
DO NOT attempt to do anything this guy tells you. once they can get into your system, they can use your IP Address to get personal information and steal your identity from identifiers located on your computer.
block this number or report it to the fed's. they can trace phone numbers, even wireless, and charge the guy with a felony for impersonating a Federal Officer and a misdemeanor for scamming.

Received missed call yesterday from 904-699-9831. Call back and said this number not callable. They called again today & I answered. He advised that he works for Microsoft and noticed that I was sending viruses over the internet. He wanted me to log on to my computer right away and he will help. I advised how can this be if I haven't been on my home computer in 2 months. Told him that I was at work and he wanted a better time to call later. Then proceeded here to check out the number. Got cha when he calls back. I will try to pull his strings and play him for a fool.

Called my cell, this is a number from my area code, therefore I was thinking it was someone from school or perhaps a customer. Person said, with a very strong accent, that he was calling regarding a windows error problem. (Which I haven't reported any windows error problems)  I asked who it was and what company they were with and he hung up. When I tried to call the number back it said it was not a working/valid phone number. So how is it dialing my cell phone then???

Called my cell just now. I clicked them off - never answer unknown calls from weird area codes. A
fter reading these - blocked the number. Thank-you ios6 for allowing us to block specific numbers!

I get the same call several times a week.  When I bothered to answer the first time, I asked questions of my own.  Which computer?  The response - "the newest one."
What OS?  Microsoft
What IP Address?  Hang up.

It's completely a scam.

SCAM!
Claimed to be Microsoft technician, seeing problem with my computer.

Same story. Virus in your computer and are you looking at your screen etc. When I mentioned that I will take care of it, he insisted that I go back to my country!

Sam s***, different day.  computer scam to remote into your pc and corrupt it.  Thanks Obama for letting these vermin run wild.  How about using your NSA for something good and bust this trash.

could not understand anything that I was saying so he hung up. I tried to call number back because I thought it was my ex-husband who lives in Jacksonville, but, got a message error. I am blocking number from log.
