An indian man called (William Smith) advising he was from Microsoft and my phoned had been hacked by money launderers using all my details. I told him this was crap and hung up. The name and accent was a real giveaway!
Caller Saying she was Rachel shao browm from Microsoft. Wanted me to change my IP address, conversation confusing, saying it was being used by criminals, by using 'Anydesk Remote control' on my tablet (i was using at the time). After some time,!! A man took over, very forceful, if you don't use this number on screen you could be classed as a criminal, so the police will be knocking on my front door i said, he rambled on then threatened to have my internet switched off. I don't like threats. The end, I'm still online.

Call from Microsoft, apparently…. Fairly aggressive… my computer and internet access has now been blocked.(???) Accused of aiding and abetting hackers. Quite entertaining for some minutes. I will now have to go to Reading to sort this all out!
My life is full of empty promises and broken dreams … I'm hoping things will look up … But there ain't no job openings … I feel discouraged hungry and malnourished … Living in this house with no furnace, unfurnished … And I'm sick of working dead end jobs with lame pay … And I'm tired of being hired and fired the same day ……. INDIAN SCAMMERS … I’m NOT PAYING YOU with my BANK
This is a scam, they eventually ask you to login to your bank account on their secure line! Don’t fall for it! I nearly did!
This is NOT a spam number. In reply to an E-Mail I sent, had a call back to my mobile from this number. Answered and caller identified themselves from Microsoft.
