This person called my home telephone at 10:13am today claiming to be from "Windows" and needed access into my computer to prevent it from being "encrypted". I asked who he worked for and he would never tell me, but my caller ID showed the call as Sherwin W. (216) 292-8912 He has a very Indian accent and I had a very hard time understanding him. He stated he knew my windows license key and then stated some numbers and letters. I knew this was a scam right away as I do not even own a windows computer, I only use Mac. Knowing this I asked him "how old is my windows computer?", his answer "Over 1 year old". Very generic answer, and like I said, very impossible because I only own a Mac. I hung up the phone, and he has called me back three more times today. Please beware of this caller!!
