I also received two calls from this guy, each time I was downloading updates from Microsoft Update program, twice in a row about 5 minutes apart. How did he know I was accessing Microsoft? The guy tried to get me to stop any open programs, find the Windows key in lower left corner, press that and the letter 'R' at the same time, then I would enter my license number for Microsoft. I told him no, i wasn't comfortable doing that, but could I call him back. He said he was with Microsoft Tech Department, he was a Tech Rep and his name is John Martin. He had a lot of trouble with English, it was difficult to even understand the phone number. So, I looked up the number in reverse and I guess I'm not the only person he called. I seem to remember hearing from him last year too. Beware of the East Indian or Pakistan accent and a bad connection.
