I've received two phone calls from 'Microsoft technicians' who claim that my computer is being used to download info from 'Malasia' ? The accent of the person calling was so thick I couldn't understand them very well.
They gave me this phone number to call and ask for "David". They said it was a toll free number. I asked them to send me something in the 'snail mail' as the police have said not to give anybody access to your computer by a phone call and I don't have any proof that they are actually from Microsoft.
Yes. had a call this morning from this number, a Kevin Williams with the same scam as previously mentioned. I( told him I would call back as soon as I checked this out. Obviously, there will be no call back.
I received a call this morning - couldn't get the name the line was very bad. He told me my computer had down loaded several extremely dangerous (?) viruses and that Microsoft had been following my computer and needed to clean these viruses off my computer.... I told him I had to check with the user of the computer and asked if I could call back. I didn't get any amounts for the clean-up but he did give me this number

He didn't tell me where he was calling from just that the number was Toll Free and they would be waiting for my return call. If they do call me back I will advise them that this number has been passed on to several organisations, one of which is Canadian Anti Fraud Centre and let them stew on that. If I do get any e-mails, I will definitely pass that on, as they can be identified from that.
