I received a call from this number #1-855-229-9720 claiming to be Microsoft support. They told me I was having trouble with my computer. They wanted control of my computer. I did not give them control. I think this is a scam. The guy said his name was John.

Got a call, supposedly from Microsoft Support, telling me they had received error messages from my computer. Told me that if I didn't sin on to my computer and have them help me fix the problem, my computer would crash. This is a scam. Don't give them access to your computer.

Just got the same call.  Said they get reports from my computer and I should let them show me how to get the bad stuff off.  Said they are 'certified Microsoft technical support' people.  Gave me 855-297-9720.  Called back and James answered "Windows technical support".  Caller ID says Salem OH, not a full # though.  Something's just not right.

This is a foreign company, who won't release their name, scaring US customers into having them connect to their computers to remove reported virus problems from Microsoft to Google.  Its a load of garbage.
