About 20 minutes ago someone called from Vancouver Washington and said that there was a problem with my husband's computer..had an accent. Said that they were calling everyone who used Windows, said they could help with computer and whatever virus. Scam is right and someone, somewhere will indeed fall for this.
How does one go about reporting this?
I got the same call from someone with a heavy Russian accent claiming to be calling on behalf of Microsoft to help me fix a problem with my computer. He said he would just be giving me information and I would not have to go on-line. When he started giving me instructions to go on my computer and go online, I bailed out. He raised his voice with me when I told him I was not going any further with him so I hug up. There must be people who fall for this scam.

Same story, accent made it difficult to understand him. I asked for the name of the company three times and could not understand it. He insisted I listen to him as this was a very big problem for ALL Windows users. I hung up on him. I had answered the phone at my parent's house and I am concerned about how much farther he could have gotten with them.
