I was called by "Windows Operating Systems" telling me I had a virus on my computer. She asked me to get on my computer and find the virus that they were warned about by my computer. When I said this sounds suspicious, I asked for a number to call them back on.
This was the number given to me, but does not match the number for Windows.
I called Windows OS and they said this scam was happening.
I did not call the number, fearing more calls from scam artists.
Claim they are windows support, that I have a malicious virus going to destro y and hack into my info! Claim they can help just go to my computer and they will walk me thru...! Got you! I was like no way! He became somewhat persistent and I said no again! Hung up! Second call this month!
Received a call from his number claiming to be a computer generated call for tech support for my computer operating system. Stated that the call was generated based on feedback received via my computer's operating system in the last few weeks. When I replied that my computer has not been on in weeks she was quick to reply that it may have been longer than that and they have been unable to reach me. Never specified what operating system or addressed me by name.
