Crossy Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Did you ever give Microsoft your phone number? Microsoft do have call centres in various places around the region, but I've never heard of them cold calling, only calling back when you have an active support ticket. Have you tried calling the number that called you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThaidDown Posted July 17, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2014 You missed a great opportunity, Microsoft are probably adding Sandman as an an additional language in Windows 9 and wanted your help with the tranlations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrjlh Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Microsoft never calls. The have no reason to. Biggest old scam been going around for years. Calls from people claiming to be from Microsoft telling you they found a problem on your computer are scamer's. Ask yourself this question, how do they know there is problem with "your" computer simply by monitoring the Internet? Can't be done unless someone planted "malware" on your computer. Then you need to ask how did they do that? It means they if did, they did it illegally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Please go to this website because it will fix your problem, etc.". Just talk very quietly to them so they have to turn up their headset volume; then get a football whistle and blast it down the mouthpiece before hanging up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
