I got a call from Henrique that said that my computer was infected through the remote. He said that he worked for Windows. He directed me to www.showmypc.com and wanted me to download a program. I would not.

I got a call from a man with a strong accent saying my computer was infected and that I was having trouble with it. I immediate asked him for his number and he gave me 210-888-9112. I told him I would call him back. He also said he worked for Windows Maintenance Department. I never called him back. It was obvious it was a scam
I too got a call from 210-888-9112 saying they worked for Windows and wanted me to download showmypc.com I would not. His name was Michael, he had a very thick accent. I told him that I bet millions of peoples computers probably have errors with their applications and services logs and they just call at random. I did not trust them.
I got a call from someone who told me he worked for Windows manintenance and that my commputer was infected and walked me through finding the errors and warnings log on my Windows 7 application. Eventually he switched me to the "senior engineer" a guy who gave me his name as Ryan Williams. Both had a heavy accent. When I asked him where he was located hen told me Redmond, WA. 210 is a San Antonio area code. He also told me that there would be a one-time charge for cleaning my computer and restoring Windows security settings (said they deactivated at 2 years). He couldn't tell me how much because each computer is configured differently. When I told him I wanted to check out some things and that I could call him back, he was very anxious about me being sure to call him right back.
Received a call today, same Michael, same thick accent telling me to sit in front of my computer so he could walk me through the virus infecting my Windows 7. I persisted in getting his phone number and he said their company was South End Enterprises. The number he was calling from was 521-589-9000.
