That phone number was given to me as a company called " WINDOWS SERVICE CENTER "the name of the technician that give me that number is "Charlie" and is supervisor is name is "Ralph".

Had 2 calls today. First was a heated exchange with 'Kevin' who certainly gave as good as he got, not what you would expect from a company affiliated with Microsoft. He told me he was from 'tech 2 tech' then it changed to 'Slap' and this was after the call was introduced as being from Microsoft and then hastily changed to Windows.

Both calls were extremely pushy and wanted me to access my computer (there are several in the house, and they would not specify which one was infected, it didn't appear to matter to them of course).

Second call was from 'Mark' who appeared not to pay any attention when I read him an article from The Guardian which detailed this scam almost word for word.

I got a call (ID: unknown caller) from Richard claiming to be with the "Windows Service Centre" today too, and I felt very sceptical about it.  I asked for a number to call and they gave me this one: (226) 777-0328.  Very pushy, he tells me they are getting error messages from my computer and they MUST get onto my PC to fix it or I may end up with corrupt or no data.  I said No, I don't think so.  

I've been using computers for too many years to mention, and have NEVER had a call FROM windows!!  BEWARE...
