They called me today, claiming to be from "Microsoft Technical Team".... I knew there was no way Microsoft would have my phone number. I made a call to our local law enforcement.
I got a call from 567-888-8909 and talked to them for a while. they left the 424 -777 2022 number as a call back number. They identified themselves as calling from windows and led me through a complicated process that showed events view on my computer in which there were a bunch of yellow triangles with exclamation points in them and red circles with exclamation points in them. The told me these were very serious and could infect and crash my computer at any time. Prior to starting this conversation they told me my computer was in danger of infection and crashing, and that they could fix it. They said the we did not need to get on line. About half way through the process a supervisor comes on line and gets me to a run box on my computer where he has me type in an address with a www.address. I said I was told we were not getting line and he said we need to. i told him I would call him back and called my computer service people. they told me this was a scam to get in my computer and that many of them received the same call.
