I just received a call from this number. The caller claimed to be from Microsoft and that my computer was sending lots of error messages.
I told him that I knew it was a scam, and I asked him whether he was ashamed of himself and how he could tell his parents that this is what he did for a living. He insisted that he was from Microsoft.
When I summarized what he was going to ask me to do (open the Start menu, provide him with remote access, &c.), he hung up on me.
Well, I just got that call today, and he knew I was on to him, and I asked him if he wanted access to my computer, and he said something about a virus. So I asked what he DID want, he said something very sexually explicit to me. I lost it and went off on him. Damn! Has anyone reported this to the FBI?
Scam pretending to be Micro$oft. They want you you to give them remote access to your computer
