2 calls from this number today, silence for about 5 seconds then a computerised voice says 'goodbye'!! Strange

Constant calls from this number no response when I answer

Living in the Netherlands and calles with this number!! The same they wanted me to have a seat for the computer. I refused.

In Nederland ook gebeld door dit nummer. In het engels. Ze stellen zich voor als van het departement microsoft. Als je niks doet zullen hackers je computer laten crashen?????

Got call saying they were from Windows and there was some problem with illegal activity on my account - when I asked for his full name he hung up

The number doesn't exist because it is a fake number used via Skype/VOIP. The call comes from India.  Getting peoples names and addresses is easy.  This scam was highlighted on "You've been Scammed"., BBC1, 21st November.  These people will install spyware/malware on the computer if given remote access.  Any money they ask for to "fix" nonexistent faults seems to  be a diversion to hide what they are really doing.  The Director of Security for Microsoft stated, on the same programme, that neither Microsoft, nor its partners, would ever cold call you.  It would be a breach of their privacy rules.

Both my mum and Dad had a call from this number claiming that some one in our household was using the internet for adults sites and that they could access our computer if we allowed them to control the settings. The lady gave her name as Fiona  and claimed they were from:

Micro
Albany House
324-326 Regent Street
London
W1B 3HH

I have checked address and there is no such place. This is a scam as they want access to your computer so files can be retrieved.

The caller was the same one identified by other people reporting. He had an Indian accent and purported to be from 'Windows'.. It was an obvious scam and I terminated the call. This number should be barred.

Got 3 calls this morning over 3 hour period --- just silent when I answer..

Just got a call from this number at 10.35ish, but they hung up on me? Maybe my youthful voice made them realise one does not simply scam a 24 year old likely to know about computers... It was to my parents house, but luckily my mum knows now not to listen and shouts and my dad, well, you don't try to mess with angry barristers! I really hope they don't call back, silent calls really irritate me...
