I also just got called...Lucky she said something wrongly which Windows should know if I really.

just had third call from them gave me same number everyone else had , told them to get lost!!

I got a call from people claiming they are from Microsoft (first Jane then Alex) on July 27, 2011. It really sounds like a genuine service call. They informed me that my computer have malicious file and they ask me to run "prefetch unwanted". I was not convinced and I checked the official microsoft website while talking with them (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fo ... 30-da57b7fe98cb). Microsoft will not cold call their customers unless we call them and instructed them to do so. I asked Alex about the official Microsoft website statement and I asked him to send their findings/instruction through the e-mail. He later just hung up. This must be a scam.

I just received the same call. Someone call Alice, claimed to be from Singapore MS Office Service Center. The person knows my name.

i just got the call today..December 23rd..funny that these messages are from summer time and it is still going around today...i couldnt understand the f****r really but he said something about his name being Will or something. was an indian lad so im guessing it is the same guy. said i had malicous software being downloaded from internet and press some stupid key and hold r for a long time. me and my dad both told him to frigg off.seemed pretty stupid tho..he did not know which computer had it and did not seem to know we had more then 1 in the house. if i WAS microsoft they would know that kind of stuffhopefully no one has fell for it with it being so close to christmas it would be a bad time to call for it and get your computer hacked or CC number stolen.also i got a call from private caller not the 1-800 number. but i asked why it was provate and not from a real company and he said its coming from the internet or something

I've got a call just half hour ago claiming to be from Microsoft too. The person on the line has a very heavy Indian accent and claims that my PC is spamming the Techincal Centre. He mentioned that he can help with the clean-up.

I asked if he could send me an email on this and he said yes but explained that thisis very critical and needs urgent attention. I asked for a number to call back as my PC is not near me and he gave this toll-free number 8001012199. He asked for another time to call me back again.

Trying to be sure if this is for real, I decided to do a search on the number provided. Apparently this is a scam. Note that no Microsoft employee would ever call you in an unsolicited manner. Beware!
