223-600-1229

Calls 2-3 times a week

JUST got off the phone with this number. Or I should say - I got them to hang up on me. >;-) The connection was very bad, could barely hear him say he was from Microsoft. But I'd gotten a call from this number & looked it up before and knew it was this very scam. Sounded like he was from India. I use Mac both personally and at work, so I was happy to try to string him along and pretend I was falling for it. But I really couldn't make out much of what he was saying.... and I think he got too frustrated every time I asked him to repeat himself so he hung up. I do hope he tries again..... I'd love to mess with him... MUAH HA HA HA!!

223-600-1229 is a "spoofed" number, Computer scam, want to fix computer errors. Will report to FTC.

scammers. blocked

Call from this number on my cell. Didn't recognize it, so didn't answer. They didn't leave a message. How do these scumbags get unlisted cell numbers???

My mom's land line received call from this number.  Said he was with "Windows" and had to help fix a problem with the computer.  My mom doesn't even HAVE a computer! Do not fall for this. It is a scam.

I have got a few calls on my cell phone from this number did not answer it checked area code 223 and there in no area code that number in the US

The complaints listed above are all valid. This guy, probably from India, once again calling me, but this time I wouldn't dignify his questions with any answers. I think people like this prey on those of us in the U.S. because for the most part we're kind, polite, and will usually give people a chance to start their message. This time, I didn't wait for him to say "microsoft" or "computer." Scam obviously.

I think the other description you were looking for was " and gullible".

I decided to answer the call (about 2pm pst) from these idiots.   The guy had a very heavy bad accent (Mid Eastern accent).  I could not understand want he said.  I had asked him to repeat what he said 2 times.  Finally, he said he was with Windows security system.  I told him that "I do not have Windows" .  He then reply saying, "Shut up you" and hung up.   Too freaking funny!

"I do not have Windows " Wow, do you live in a cave. Neat.

Yeah I do.   Love it!

these telemarketers or scammers , must be using many different numbers , as, after they call , I immediately receive several different calls.

Couldn't understand the guy to start off, asked for someone a 2nd time, told him wrong number.  No according to him, correct number.  Ask again who was he calling for, repeated something, couldn't understand.

Finally said he was calling about my home PC.  Told him I didn't own a computer.  No I'm wrong, he says.  NO you are wrong I do NOT own a computer.  He hung up.

Blocked the number.

How stupid do these people think we really are?

Got the same call. Said he was from Microsoft and our computer showed signs of hacking. He actually had my computer id number! Don't know how he got that!!!! I talked to him for a few minutes. Kept telling him I didn't understand him. Never gave him some password he wanted. He acted frustrated. Told him I would call miscrosoft myself and talk to them. They finally Hung up. They tried to call again. Didn't answer it and blocked the number.

I just got the same call from 223-600-1229 and they said the same thing as T mentioned below.  When I told them I would contact my lawyer because of their harassment they hung up.  If anyone gets a call from this number 514-320-0874 (Canada) it is the same scam.

They called my son was home so he took the call said there was a problem with our computer my son said we don't have a computer ha ha and called cursed him out and told him they were going to kill him he is 13 years old they better hope they don't run into momma bear I will show them death you don't threaten a child.

So this India guy calls ask for Charles--sorry wrong number--he say's we have a Microsoft report on the computer at this address the owner name may be a mistake.  Now of a 1,000 things I could have said--I ask_  Hey, between you and me.  How much curry powder do you have to throw on your wife's snatch to kill the smell.  Lets just say the conversation went downhill from there.......
