Reported to be from Microsoft. It's a scammer trying to get into your PC to steal info.

This is second call from the number posted and he
did try and convince me that my computer was sending messages to him.

He spoke with heavy accent, I did explain to him that "Americans" were alerted to this type of phone call and we were warned not to give any information, he did not care and insisted that he was the real thing.
I guess no matter how many ways people are warned, and this scam has been around, there will be people that fall for the scam.

Unfortunately, you are right.  If they didn't continue to find victims they would probably come up with something else.  All we can do is continue to post and try to warn everyone we know about these creeps, whether here at 800Notes and in conversation with friends, family and acquaintances.

I do not pick up these calls. Lately, the same numbers keep calling. All scams. Don't pick up. Just decline. It's getting really annoying

This number called and asked me to install some of the Microsoft windows running services. I told him to send me email if I am a MS customer. Is there a way they can get to my computer?
