Got a phone call today from that number. The guy on the phone had a heavy accent and told me that my computer was infected. He told me that he could guide me through to fix it. I told him that I didn't have a computer, and that I only had a iPad. I Replied saying that he had the wrong number but he said that he had the correct number and said my name. I wonder how he knows my name.
Guy called saying he was from Microsoft and that my computer told him that it was infected and needed to be cleaned. He could help me with that, of course. When I told him that he was a scammer and hung up on him, HE CALLED ME BACK to try to convince me that he wasn't a scammer. After a few minutes of arguing (I know I shouldn't have argued, but hung up again), he asked if I was *my mom's name*. I told him no, that she's been dead since last year and I told him to stop calling me and hung up.
The next time you get a call from some one you don't know have a whistle hany and blow it as hard as you can. I do it all the time and nobody has ever called me back.

They will offer to fix your computer and THIS IS A SCAM! DO NOT PRESS ANY KEYS ! ( THIS WILL GIVE HIM REMOTE ACCESS TO YOUR PC AND YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION ) .DO NOT GIVE HIM YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER OR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION !
