Scam number that keeps calling

Caller used robot (text to speech) to attempt to discover other callers name and social security info through ploy.

This number has called repeatedly throughout the day and evening hours.

Very Persistent. Said they were from Microsoft Company and I had a virus or something on my computer. Computer hasn't been used recently, as I use an iPad. Really wanted me to go to my computer and log on. I wasn't even at home. She tried to give me some of my IP address, but I couldn't catch all of it. Not sure if she was a telemarketer or a scammer or phisher.

SCAM PHONE CALL

These guys are a joke they said that there was a virus in my computer and asked me to pay them moneyu to fix it. Do not do it they are a scam, they do not work for Windows and they are just out to get your money. Call the police and report them asap.

Someone who goes by the name of Peter called my elderly family member to say that he had a Trojan and had to purchase Windows Ultimate from him to remove it. He told him to buy a $350 money gram from 7-11 and give him the code, then he would 'fix' the computer. Made of with $350 and has total remote access to his computer which is now unusable - took off his operating system. Said he worked for 'windows'. BEWARE - disconnect computer and don't send money

These ass wipes cold called my 81 year old mother with the you have a virus scam.They then remotely screwed around with her computer doing who knows what.I took the computer offline after getting an alert from the credit union.These are predatory scam artists. BEWARE.

Indicated that he (Shawn) was an IT person from Microsoft telling me that I had a virus & to turn on my computer & he would fix it for me. I've never heard of Microsoft calling anybody about a virus. I thought it was a scam.
