Jeff called me at 6:50 this morning to tell me that someone hacked my computer. I told him that I have a MAC and it doesn't get hacked easily. He said he was worked for APPLE and that I need to go to my computer so that he could install something so that my computer wouldn't be hacked. I hung up on him so that I could research it and from the comments on this board, it looks like we have a HACKER!
same exact story, caller from 214 area code in TX wants to take control of my computer, claiming he is a technician for Microsoft and received a report that my computer had files on it that allows hackers to gain access.....it was kinda funny because I asked a lot of questions I knew he wouldn't have answers to ie. which computer as I have 3? What IP address? Please send me a confirmation email that you work for Microsoft etc.
eventually said I know you're a liar and hung up
