288-918-6555 / 2889186555

Getting tired of these calls from 288-918-6555, I asked to speak to his supervisor. He talked some jibberish and I told him to please take me off his call list. He started in that he had only called my house 4 times. Told him we had been getting several phone calls a day for several weeks and he argued that he had only called 4 times. Told him that was 4 times too many. He proceeded to say that he would continue to call my house many times every day. I said I will report you and this call is being recorded. He immediately hung up. Next time he gets the whistle in the ear.

Got a call from Indian sounding guys wanting to renew my MicroSoft warranty and when I wouldn't give them my credit card info, they changed my computer password and shut my system down. This really ticks me off and I would very much like for MicroSoft to start my computer again...

I got a call from 288-918-6555 (caller ID: Name Unavailabl) . A female with a east Asian accent said she was from a Microsoft organization. She knew who I was but kept calling me "ma'am" instead of "sir." (I guess that is what her script said.) She said she was calling about the problem with my computer. My computer is 9+ year old Dell running Windows 98. I had sent a "error dump" to Microsoft in the last couple of days that I had gotten when Facebook wasn't responding so I initially thought the call was legitimate. After allowing "them" to "remote into" my computer, a technician came on the phone indicating the reason that I was having problems was because my Windows 10-year had run out. He attempted to get me to buy a 1 year warranty for $20.00 or a lifetime warranty for $30.00. I told him to send me the offer through the USPS, but he refused. I then cancelled them out of the remote and shut down my computer. He asked why I did that and started to get a little belligerent. I finally told him I wasn't going to buy the warranty. His parting words before he hung up were, "Go to hell." I just hope that they didn't get into any of my files while they were remote to the computer.

Just received a call from someone with a very heavy Indian accent, saying that my computer was about to crash if I didn't do something. He asked me to turn it on and he would "connect" to it to fix it. Also said he was from Windows? When I told him I wasn't about to go to my computer and turn it on, he asked why. I informed him that I had several programs that did all the things he claimed to offer. He kept repeating that this was a Microsoft service call and not a sales call. He got a bit mad when I told him that he could basically fly a kite! Later checked the phone number -- there is no 288 area code active in the US, even as an overlay (overlays are used in very congested cities to provide enough phone numbers). I did find that it is an area code in Turkey (country code 90), city code Kirklari. You'd have to get a plane ticket to visit this baltic sea resort.It is obviously an "out-of-area" location as reported on my phone's caller ID. Luckily I have a phone that will save a large list of numbers to call block function. It also hangs up on calls with no ID, a really common ploy.Saved by technology again!

Same mideastern accented man called me and asked for a guy who used to have my phone number. I was trying to answer his question and he interrupted me. I told him "I am trying to answer your damn question" and he asked something in Arabic or something. I asked him,excuse my french " Answer this, how can you suck my [***](d word) cause your freaking rude" and hung up on him...Thanks for this comment stream..

Also received the same type call everyone has already described from "Microsoft" ,etc....He said in a heavy Indian accent that he was in West Virginia and I was in Florida, which I am, and the they were south of us....ummmm you need a Geography lesson. He said when I refused to comply with his pleas, "don't blame us if your computer crashes." Blah blah blah....

Receiving repeated calls from this number. I usually do not answer, but this time I did and it was a woman with an Indian accent, claimed to be from Microsoft and located in Charleston, South Carolina. She asked for the previous owner of my current phone number. I told her she had the wrong number but she insisted the problem was coming from the computer at this phone number! It was the usual script re: my computer is reporting a virus to Microsoft and they must fix it immediately or my computer will stop running. She told me to go to my computer and then walked through screens (of course I didn't) to get to my ip address and wanted to remote access in. At that point I told her that I would be reporting the call/phishing attempt to authorities. She told me it doesn't matter, that she will call someone else.

Just got a call from an Indian woman who said my computer was "corrupted". She read through her illegal [***] spiel to which my BF R. asked "I have corrupted files?" "yes, Mr. P turn on your PC and I can walk you through a fix." Every time she finished her next line of spiel R would say "My files are corrupted??" After the 3rd time you could tell she was getting pissed. Finally, R said for a 4th time, "I have corrupted files??? Like criminals??" She muttered something unintelligle and hung up.

this man just called me also, I phoned the state Attorney Generals Office and gave them the information.

today is sept 28th at 9 am I got a phone call from 12889186555. Indian guy with heavy accent said that he was from Microsoft tech support. I said no you are not and he just kept on saying he was. I said i did not call microsoft. He said we got signals from your computer that you have a lot of junk on it and we will clean it up. I said I am not telling you about my computer until I verify with microsoft. I asked for his name he said alan gomes, he made up an id no. and gave me a phone number and address in michigan. I call this number , it was a lady in michigan who just got a call from them, also did not give hime any info. I called microsoft they said good thing I did not give them any info. Big scam, they get into your computer plant viruses and charge you a fortune. I tried to call back the number on caller id not a working number
