Just received call from this number; I answered and man on other end called me by name.  He claimed to be calling on behalf of Windows, and wanted information in regard to my computer.  He claimed there were files of a suspicious nature (viruses) and asked me to log on and provide him information.  When asked again who he was calling on behalf of, stated Windows.  I told him that IF, and that's a very big if, I had problems with my computer, I would seek out my own solutions.  I also told him I had very good security (to which he claimed was not good enough..!!), and would not provide him with any information.  When I asked the Company name he was calling on behalf of, he hung up...Don't fall for this obvious scam..!!

Got a call to my cell from this number at 8:00pm. Didn't answer.

I think this is a "dummie" number. When someone calls from a calling card, calls off of the computer, or uses a scrambler..a phone number will come up on your caller ID. This number is not really in service, its just a "dummie" or masking number. I have had a few of these call me, and one was a friend who told me about this.

I received a call from this number saying (in an offshore accent) that they were coducting a credit review.  i told them I hadn't requested credit from anyone.  i asked who (I had authorized) for a credit search but was told that they couldn't reveal the name.  Seriously - I told them that this is quite improper and hung up.Beware.

Called my wife saying that he was from Microsoft and we had faulty software.  She said she thought it was a scam and hung up politely.  He called back and started hitting on her.  I got on the phone and he hung up.
