This con artist called, said he was from my internet company, that he needed me to go to my computer to delete a virus. I said what is the name of my internet provider, he said not important, just go to the computer at once. The caller Id says New York. He said his name was David, was a foreign accent. I toyed with him a bit and he hung up.

same here, tho a female with indian accent, said they were with windows IT and needed me to go to computer to do
something as my machine was sending them files..ha!
Recieved a call 4/1/14 @ 4:15pm. Caller identified himself as windows IT, about a virus that was going to attack my motherboard. Please turn on your computer. Caller had a very heavy "India" accent. Hard to understand, but enough that you get whats being said. I replied "from Microsoft"? He said "Yes.", and I replied.... "Not from New York you aren't, Microsoft IT is not in New York!", and he got very quiet, and I told him "You aren't getting near my PC!", and hung up.... On April fools day of all days. - You just know its a scam.... Microsoft doesnt know your telephone number, and since I built my system, my phone number was changed and unlisted, built my system 4 years ago, and changed my number 1 1/2 Years ago.... Stupid people!
Same as the others, Indian guy, NY, NY number, with Microsoft, need to delete a virus quickly. I asked if MS was calling everyone with a MS system, he said yes. I told him I was an IT tech, just tell me the files and I'll look at them. He said, um, um...I'll have to call you back later and hung up.
