We received a call from an Indian man claiming to be from Windows advising that we had unknowingly received viruses on our computer.  We were suspicious and asked for his phone number and we would call him back.  We would like to verify that  this phone number does belong to Windows before disclosing and info.  Thank You...

Microsoft would have no way of knowing you have a virus and they certainly couldn't call the millions of people who have viruses.  This man is fishing.  It is called social engineering and he is preying on dumb people who don't think things through to a logical conclusion.

Also, there is no company called Windows.   sigh...

I have also received a call from Windows telling me that i have viruses on my computer. The guy keep telling me that it is very danger on my computer. His phone number only have three numbers 205, i can not find the rest of the number.

Caller: Windows

Be very careful dealing with these guys!  I was scammed out of money by www.microlinkxssl.com. They claimed to be a Microsoft Certified Partner.

MICROSOFT WAS OF NO HELP AT ALL IN TRYING TO VERIFY IF THEY WERE!!

When i tried to email them it came back on every attempt!! BE WARNED THESE GUYS SMELL OF A MAJOR SCAM!!
They us high pressure tactics and phone late at night, when most people are off their guard!

I received the same type of call from Microlinkxssl.com They said they are microsoft certified technicians. They were aware of my computer problems & also knew that I am using windows7 not xp. They scanned my comp & cleaned my temp files. They charged me 200. Gave me a call back no. as 3152854036. I can never get through the number,its always voice mail but they call me everyweek to get my feedback. I am happy with their services but want to know why these guys have no number to call back when I want to get in touch! Why I have to wait for weekends to get their feedback call.
