Unsolicited phone calls from MS

How do I resolve the number of calls I am getting from MS by people I cannot understand? How do I know they are valid?

Hello,
The only way to know it is valid is if you had them call you
if so then your all set if not then write down the number that you are receiving and contact MS and if it is not them report who ever is doing it to them.

Ignore them MS will not call you they don't make house calls unless you specifically schedule a call back from them, otherwise they will not call you, i have gotten a number of the calls you speak of usually they say windows support that is not MS do not let them connect to you PC. microsoft will call from a 425 number and it shows up on caller id as Microsoft corp, i know this as i had to schedule a call back with xbox support and MS support, and they specifically identify themselves a microsoft support. and if you revers phone the number it says redmond wa 1 microsoft way.

Hi TonyB Perfect that's everything I wanted to say but could it:)

I let them talk and pretend I am actually doing what they are telling me to do. I kept one guy on for about 15 minutes and then I asked him if he is sure this will work on a MAC.:)

if they are the ones saying it is Microsoft Support then it is a scam! they sound like they are from India? then its a scam. if the number is a 888 then its a scam.

What I do is I make my land lime redirect to my iPhone and then I use TruCaller to help track them down. I have a couple of other Tracking Apps and a tweak that unblocks the number of callers who have their number blocked. I get a lot of calls from people misrepresenting Apple, Microsoft, even Asus. I keep a log pf each call, the numbers, and when they called and I report them to http://donotcall.gov - You have to register your numbers first, if I'm not sure if a call was redirected from my land line I report it to both of my registered numbers.
