   Just annoying attempt togain control of home computer as previous poster detailed. Purported microsoft engineer calls to victims home with all information of target (address tele#) saying hacker trying to acccess your PC and then directs individual to website for downloading software whose purpose is to allow caller remote control of home PC. Oh the irony!

   My experience exactly the same as previous contributor. This person is trying to get access to your computer, most likely for fraudulent purposes.

   This was the telephone number given to me by a self-proclaimed "Microsoft engineer" as the legitimate number for a "Microsoft Windows Service Provider" in Oxford. But when you call that number, there is no answer and the line goes dead. This 'MS engineer', who has a strong Asian/Indian accent yet calls himself "Jerry Richards", phones you on your home phone, may know your name and address, and then tells you there have been "error messages" from your computer. He then wants remote access to 'fix' the problem that doesn't exist.
   If you google this telephone number and/or the subject 'Microsoft Windows Windows Service Provider Oxford' you will find some interesting articles on this scam that's been going on for a few years now, internationally.
   Microsoft released a statement (available somewhere online) that they never make unsolicited phone calls to customers, therefore whoever is pretending to be from MS and giving out that number as a contact no. is surely breaking the law? It is deceptive, and ultimately their aim is to gain access to your computer/bank details etc. and make you part with your money.
   I've had 3 phone calls from these people in the last week. If you hang up, they phone back persistently. They're a nuisance.
   Could somebody please investigate and put a stop to these scammers.
