Caller with an Indian accent called and says he is from Microsoft. He claims my Windows computer is sending Microsoft a message saying my computer is infected with bad files. I need to go to my computer and follow his instructions. After badgering him with useless questions for a few minutes and clearly agitating him, I informed him I worked for Homeland Security and would he please hold for a moment. He cursed and hung up real fast. OK, I had some fun with this clown but seriously, do not answer a call from this number; this is a scam. Microsoft would never call anyone up in this manner. They are trying to access your computer remotely.

When I answer, there is no one there.  when I return the call, I get a recording saying the number is not in service.

You are absolutely correct. This is a scam! I received my second call this morning from someone with an Indian accent stating they were from Microsoft and that my computer was infected as well. Scumbags!!! Get a real [***] job!

The scam. The individual is pretending to be from Microsoft and asking for personal information. Block this number.
