Got unwanted call from 866-933-5467?
This is yet another call from scammers in India pretending to be from Microsoft. I called the number back and asked the guy who answered when he plans to get a real job instead of scamming people and ripping them off and wouldn't his mother be more proud of him if he did? (People in India are supposedly so reverent toward their parents, which is why I brought up his mother.) He then tried to act all innocent saying the call was from Microsoft saying my license key has expired and this is an "emergency." Then he said it was not my business what his mother thinks! I told him it was since he called ME with a scam. He continued to insist he was from Microsoft and please to open my Windows (which was already open). He eventually hung up on me. Apparently this is their new tactic -- to insist they are not lying often enough so that you will eventually believe them. .
Robo call. Female voice claiming this is an emergency. Your Microsoft Windows licence on your computer has expired. Right.
Repeated robocall in one day/ Purporting to be from Apple claiming need to call regarding Apple devices.
