I'm not really sure if this was a scam call or not, that's why I checked here.  The gentleman (foreign speaking) told my husband that he was calling about our computer, windows had detected something and needed to be checked or updated.  He asked my husband to go to the computer and sign on.  At that point my husband wait a minute everything with our computer is fine and we have current up to date anti virus software.  Then he started talking and my husband said no thanks and hung up.  

Seeing that no one else has posted about this number makes me wonder now, but really we aren't having any issues with our computer.

YES this is a scam!  There are tons of complaints/reports on this website and elsewhere about this scam.  They are criminals trying to steal your personal information.  Do not talk to them at all or give them access to your computer!

Thank you.  Glad my husband didn't follow this mans directions.  LOL, when I don't recognize a number I don't even answer-if it's important they will leave a message.

It IS a scam - Microsoft does NOT call you about alleged problems with your computer, nor do they contract out work to other companies.  Microsoft technicians would only call you if YOU had sent them a ticket online or called them yourself.

When my husband told me about this, I thought no way does Microsoft have our phone number, and really why would call us........Thanks, you made me feel better.
