Got a scam call that call return reports comes from this number. The caller claimed he represented Microsoft and was calling because he got messages from my computer because it was infected with "germs" that came from the internet. To learn more about the scam, I agreed to turn on my computer and follow instructions. The original caller, who barely spoke English, passed me on to an agent that instructed me to run eventvwr. He claimed that the error and warning messages were evidence of infections (they are not). He then asked about my financial transactions on the internet, after which I asked for a return phone number. He gave a false number he claimed was in Australia and said he would fly to Australia in an hour.
