Called and said they were from Microsoft support and I had a virus on my computer. He wanted me sit at the computer to give him info. I asked questions, he repeated his spiel without answering them. I asked again, same thing. I ended the call... sounds mighty suspicious...
same as Michele. Scam scam from Sam from India via California. Said he was Microsoft. My Microsoft account showed two attempts to break into my computer during the time on the phone with the scammer. HANG UP.
Every day for the last week (Aug 15 thru Aug 22) the same Indian called with the same (I am from Microsoft and you have a virus) pitch and I would play along, but never turn on my computer. Today I finally confronted him and told him that there was no way I would let him get into my computer. He hung up and I will probably never here from again. Keep him busy and waist his time.
Indian on the line saying he was from Microsoft support and they detected lots of errors on my computer. When I started asking him questions to verify what computer he was talking about he said my home computer. I asked how would you know if I have a computer in my home or office? He promptly hung up.
