I received a call from them today, 5/17/13. Caller ID said "Unknown Name. Private Number." That was the first tip off. They knew our last name, and then gave me the name of the company and a "complaint number" and said his name was Johnny Bravo, with a thick Indian or Pakistani accent. Ha! He said they were somehow related to Microsoft. When I pressed him about this being a sales call, he assured me it was a service call, and he could help me with my computer problem. He kept trying to get me to go to a computer and he would "guide me through" the process, and I did not have to give him any information. And because he gave me the company name and a complaint number, assured me it was all perfectly legitimate. I kept telling him to email me the information so I could research it, and he kept insisting I go to a computer and let him walk me through something. When he refused for the seventh time to email me something, I hung up on him. I guess he will call back, though... A total high pressure scam!
