I have received calls from this number on a regular basis, saying they are from Microsoft based in Reading. Wanting to have access to my machine. They threatened to 'block' the machine if I did not give access. Needless to say, I did not progress with the call.

caller purports to be calling from microsoft and wants remote control of my computer saying i have been hacked for identity id and my details being used for illegal betting etc .rang microsoft who said this is a scam as they would not make such a call
Fungus replied 6/26/15, 2:07 PMMy Mother has had this call. She asked for a phone number, so I could call back on her behalf. I did and allowed them to take control of her computer. They showed a massive list of errors and explained she had been hacked. The proposed 'solution' was to upgrade from Windows XP to 8.1 for a reduced fee of £20. They asked for a form to be completed online to allow them to proceed. When I requested they sent the form by email, so we could verify it was genuine, they started threatening that the computer would be attacked if we didn't act immediately.
Alarm bells suddenly rang and obviously it was a scam.

Just received a call from 01516041893. Foreign sounding lady called 'Jenny' said she was from Microsoft in Reading and they had detected problems with my computer!I said I was busy and could I call her back. She gave me this number to call 01183283315. Obviously a scam.
BUT - coincidentally(??!!) - my PC, landline and Broadband had turned off twice in the previous hour for 2 minutes each time. No problems with electricity. Could there be a link?
