Well I got my first Microsoft call scam today - something that's been going on for a while now. Hubby answered the call but hung up, the phone rang immediately again so I answered it, heard someone say (in an Indian accent) he was from Microsoft so I hung up, then phone rings again and this time hubby answers and they're asking to speak to Mrs me, so I take the phone and say I don't have time to speak just now and hang up. Phone rings again and this time I say to them I am not interested. The man then says "You are a very ignorant lady" after that I ask to speak to his supervisor a few times, (though I knew it was a scam) and he then said the same again and ended it with "you f---ing b---h!".
So be on your guard - Microsoft NEVER phones you and if anyone asks you for your computer number such as service tag or express service code HANG UP!
Only positive was that he actually called me a Lady!
