Just received a call from someone with middle Eastern accent claiming to be from Microsoft license department . They said they were shutting my computer down because of hackers sending out messages wanting money and claiming to be me . I'm a truckdriver and was in N . Carolina at the time . My home computer is in Alabama . This person told me I would be held liable and criminal charges would be brought against me if I did not allow them to shutdown my computer . I told this person , I don't know who you are or much less if your from Microsoft and hung up my cell phone . If you agree to them shutting your computer down supposedly they charge you to turn it back on . they wanted to know when I'd be back home and for me to call 312-265-3261 . LOL !!!

They want to sell me protection for 1 3 or lifetime protection to get rid of attachments that hackers have installed on my computer. Got several calls from 312-265-3261 and also blocked calls on 1-12-2017
