Microsoft Tech Scam

Victim Location 43214

Type of a scam Tech Support

A voicemail was left on my answering machine, which did not mention me by name, and I did not return the call as directed. the voice sounded mechanized like a GPS voice, and the message was not professional standard English, with tense errors, missing articles and odd constructions such as "I will repeat 844-711-3211." I saved the recording, and the beginning may have been cut off.

Here’s the call transcript: "The Microsoft corporation has stopped the Windows services in your computer. To renew the Windows license key, please call 844-711-3211. This is (sic) very important call to notify you that your Microsoft Windows license key has been expired (sic) in your computer so Microsoft corporation has stopped the Windows services in your computer. To renew the Windows license key please call 844-711-3211. I will repeat: 844-711-3211.
