I had a message start popping up every time I went on Firefox. It said that my Norton Antivirus software had found a virus, and that I should call the 1888-258-5284 for help. RED FLAG....I don't have NORTON!!! An Indian man, told me to remove the virus it would cost a fee of $100! SCAM!!! Googled: Firefox has virus, follow this and now everything is fixed! http://www.malwareremovalguides.info/how-to-r ... ozilla-firefox/
Received the call as mentioned above. I told him my computer is just fine and I asked him to remove my number from his list. He said no and I would have to pay him $50. I said I don't have to pay you anything and I am reporting your number to the police and I hung up. Caller ID said UNKNOWN.....
Out of the blue, we received a phone call from this number saying that they'd help us with our computer problem in broken English. I said, "What computer problem?" The caller said, "You have a computer, right?". I replied, "Yes, but we're not having any problems" and hung up.
Caller told my wife that he was a security firm called "online PC solutions", and that his firm had traced strange internet traffic (or some other nonsense) to our Windows PC. We do not own a Windows PC (Mac only), and this was obviously a phishing expedition.
