I have had a call to day. I hang up.

Just received a call from "Microsoft India". I checked the number, the number is from Djibouti.
It's really crazy this kind of crime.

Just got a call from this number, the indian guy called,  KEVIN!!!!! Yeah right.  
He was able to ask for my wife by her full name and then gave her our address as confirmation.  He said he worked for 'computer security solutions' and had been instructed by our service provider to contact us regarding the viruses that have shown on our computer.  He wanted her to turn the computer on and he would talk her through it.  As I am IT engineer my wife brought the fone to me immediately but the minute I said hello Kevin (i still cant believe that) he hung up.
The scary thing here guys is that this crowd have obviously bought alot of details from somewhere, so dont be fooled and stay safe.  I have just posted all this to facebook to warn everyone, I suggest you all do the same.

I also got a call this morning from this number.
When I was asked to go to my PC I disconnected.
Google told me this is a number in Djibouti (country code 253)

I was called today by an Guy speaking English with an Indian accent saying he was from Microsoft and that my computer was hacked. Complete nonsense since I have a good firewall and can check myself. I hung up.

Also me is called several times by this number.
My biggest worry is that our systems is run over cable and that they can exess the computer like that.
Appenrently all the people here being called have some thing in commen, the thing is to find out what????
By the way Iam from Brabant Holland

Maybe if they call again we should tell:that you are going to see if he can be tracked down and prosecuted for this fraud.

Ik ben ook inmiddels 2 keer gebeld door dit nummer. Een slecht engels sprekende vrouw die me wilde helpen met problemen met mijn windows computer.
Ik heb ook beide keren na kort geluisterd te hebben opgehangen.
Je kan gelijk horen dat er iets niet in de haak is.

ben ook al verschillende keren gebeld.
deze man spreekt engels, uit naam van microsoft.
erg vervelend.

iemand enig idee?????

niet meer opnemen lijkt mij verstandig.
maar wat ik mij afvraag is waarom ik met een paar "lijntjes text" hun toegang kan geven op mijn computer.
dan zou er toch al iets op mijn pc moeten staan lijkt mij.
en dat word dan dus aangezet.
of is het zo dat je naar een bepaalde webstite moet?
dan zou er dus op deze site inbreuk worden gedaan op privicy van microsoft.
misschien kan een grote speler als microsoft iets doen?
het lijkt mij doordat ze al ruim een jaar bezig zijn ze toch ook wel slachtoffers hebben gemaakt.

hopelijk stop het ergens voor ze.

but my question is how can they know the name and the surname of the callers

some one from this number called asking for my parents .... i never seen the number before and a few days ago i got a call from a Pakistani woman and this was a Pakistani man asking for something to do with a computer? i dont know who it is and i want something to be done because in the past few months ive been getting these calls regularly and its getting very annoying!

i think its because they have a phone book or they just look online....with all the technology these days im not surprised they know xx

omg i checked where the number was from and it was also from Djibouti

on july the 16th and 17th I was called by this number but did not answer. Research gave me the information: from an African country! Take care, I do not start the conversation.

I get regular calls from them.  I live in the Netherlands.  If I would pick up immediately, its a poorly English speaking person saying they are from Microsoft something, then I ask why don't they speak in Dutch, as my windows is in Dutch... !

I'd say, just don't pick up. Or if you got time to lose, just talk Dutch or better yet, play along with them, and after a half hour, tell them you know about the scam and that your boss gives a bonus to his/her employees that can keep such someone on the line ;)

Just got a call from her. After listening a while I asked her is she thought I was a fool. She started cursing and hung up :-)

Basically the same story as everyone else here.  I answered the phone to this number and there was silence for about 10 seconds before a guy, in what sounded like a call centre, told me his name was "David Jones" and he was calling from Microsoft.  He then proceeded to tell I had "downloaded some bad infections".  I know this scam very well, I've had about ten calls from them.  So after telling me about the "infections", I decided I would take on a very sarcastic tone with him, after a few seconds of talking to him like this, he hung up.

Said they're Microsoft's technical dept. Definitely scam.

THIS NUMBER IS PART OFF A SCAM UNIT,HANG UP AS THEY WILL TRANS FER YOU TO HIGH COST LINE NUMBER

Just got a call from 'Paul Smith' from E-Solving phone #646-502-6605 who was going to walk me through to check my computer to ensure that I had not downloaded a virus on my computer.  This 'service' was free of charge and he was not selling anything to me.

I was sitting at my laptop and I quickly searched 'E-Solving+Scam' and found this information.  I told 'Paul' to take me off of his calling list and that I was reporting his phone number (from New York).
