SCAM SCAM SCAM!Another obvious scam using a currently familiar theme, complete with equally familiar fake posts from satisfied customers using "call centre" English!

My wife received a call from techmate 24/7 (on behalf of Microsoft) claiming she had a virus on her laptop.  They called back again an hour later (different person) saying they were the manager and urgently needed access to her machine.Definitely a scam...

I was supide enough to give these people my credit card number.  I called & cancelled my card before anything could me put on it.  I thought I was smarter than that.

It is sad that you have to resort to abuse, even if it is complete gibberish.  A check on the Microsoft website will show the warning that neither Microsoft, nor its partners would ever 'phone.  It is a breach of their privacy rules. Your choice of places where people have been helped is a joke, you cannot even spell them. Your post just shows how much of a scam this company is. Thanks

Yeah yeah "jack" whatever you say....
Maybe you can try to answer an obvious question that scammers like you find so difficult? Why did you enter a phone number into a website called "whocallsme.com" if you already knew who the number belongs to??
Yes, don't tell me, you found it by accident. Right?
Or one of your mates just happened to mention it?
Oh, and sorry to make you look any more stupid, but maybe you could tell us how these "wonderful" companies/tech-heads can get people's private phone numbers from supposed "error" messages sent from millions of computers when they can't even see an IP address!??

Of course I don't expect any answers but I'm sure if you try the b***s*** you'll spew out may at least be funny enough to be slightly entertaining.

Definitely a scam...
