Guy called me just now with a thick East Indian accent saying he was from Microsoft and there is something wrong with my computer. "We are getting errors and it it is corrupting our server." I should have waited to see if he was going to ask me for a password or something ... not sure what his game was now ... but I just hung up on him.
They said they were from Microsoft Windows and wanted acess to my computer in order to eliminate a virus they said came on my new computer. Scary thing is, I did just get a new computer with Windows.
Woman with heavy Asian accent claimed to be calling from 'Microsoft Utilities' about possible infection of my Windows computer with a virus. Knew my name (not a big deal, my number is listed). Had me open the administrative tools window on my computer and see the various warnings and errors. Every computer gets these - they mean nothing. Then she wanted me to connect to a website www.teamviewer.com That's as far as it went. I was on the line for 15 minutes and thanked her and hung up. This was at 5:30PM on Xmas Eve.
