allen reported number +19490007676 as unknown East Indian
This is a "your computer is sending signals to our server that indicate you have an infection that needs to be removed..." A scam. If you fall for it they will instruct you to open remote services on your machine and then INJECT malware into your system, which they then will "help you" with! HAH! DON'T do it! When I eventually told THEM what I knew they were up to, they persisted, referring to my Windows PC...to which I informed them, "I have a MAC, you dumb BlankityBlank." And then CLICK! Hold onto your wallets people!

Chrissy Gorman reported Microsoft Scam with the number 9490007676 as Harassment calls
I do not even own a Microsoft computer. When I explained this to this so-called tech (recognized it as a scam the moment I heard the recording so I pressed 1), she wanted to know what I did own, to which I replied it was none of their business and told them to stop calling and remove my number or I would file a report on do not call/fcc website. She told me she will not remove my number and would call when ever she wanted. Needless to say, it wound up in a shouting match. She has a very foreign accent (Indian?) please report to donotcall.gov people

Unaware reported number +19490007676 as Microsoft Scam
I got this call yesterday and believed I was talking to a Microsoft licensed technician. My son explained that by being on the phone with them and typing in information via their instruction that I had inadvertantly given this person access to my computer. Geez. We are now changing all our passwords and having our hard drive reconfigured. Duh.

This is part of the international wild west of scams, concerning so called computer viruses, I have also got them while I was on line and they attempted to (freeze) my browser for ransom money its very easy to fix with task manager. Just highlight internet explorer in processes and click end task. Anyway if I could find these people Id stab them!
