    telephone scam


    Receive telephone call supposedly from Microsoft saying they want to refund my fee. state that my IPA has been corrupted and I will need a new one. Want me to punch 1 on my phone to be transferred to tech. My caller id shows the number of the caller as my own phone number. Is this a scam? how can I get them to stop as the number for their call is my own?

    :)

    telephone scams

    I have recently received telephone calls from someone, a Peter Smith - Micro employee: MSW976, claiming to be associated with Microsoft regarding a Microsoft program I 'installed' two years ago and it would be renewed at a charge of $299 if I did not act
    promptly or that I could obtain a 'refund' if I completed a refund request. After I fell for this scam and began the refund request I became alarmed, stopped and called my computer service man who came to my house and cleaned up the callers attempt to gain
    control of my computer, etc. I believe these calls came from the following telephone numbers(erased): 713.955.5959; 385.42(7)9.4153; and 325.238.8998; numerous calls from the last number and we could hear numerous voices in the background.
