SCAMMER with Indian accent claiming to work for Mircosoft. Claims that "my" computer has been hacked. And it is sending error messages. Requesting to have remote access to "my" computer. I requested a callback number. He provided 209-676-4449. And insisted that I'd connect to Ext. 125 upon calling. He states that his name is "Martin French", as there are several Martin French at Microsoft. Yes, there is a Martin French at Microsoft but, this individual would not be performing these types of calls.

This guy called my landline and tried to say in very broken English with a heavy Indian accent that he was "calling about my computer." After I picked myself up off the floor from laughing (I could clearly hear other scammers on similar calls in the background!), I simply said "What computer?" He hung up.
971-555-0129 is the VoIP line he is using to pull this scam.

Wanted to warn me that they were shutting off my computer access because I have a bogus Windows 7 copy. I needed to pay them right away. Wow! I don't even run a Windows 7 PC, have 2 on the shelf but I don't use them :) (I'm still in the XP world by choice)
