Received a suspicious phonecall from a man with a thick Indian accent who said he was an employee of Global Microtech in Marblehead, Ohio, and his name was Jack Adams. He said my Windows computer had been infected with a virus when I was surfing the internet and their tech support could eradicate the virus from my computer by walking me through the procedure. I said okay, curious to see how far he would go, and he then said he was transferring me to tech support. "Tech support" also had a thick Indian accent, and I pretended to sit at my computer as he instructed me to turn it on and navigate to an administrative file in the operating system that had lots of red and yellow arrows. He said to ignore all the warning language and asked me to scroll down and tell him how many red and yellow arrows I saw. At this point I told him that I was uncomfortable working on my computer without consulting with my husband first, and asked him if I could have a phone number where my husband could return his call when he got home from work. He gave me the number 567-252-5221. I don't own a Windows computer!
I got a call on my home phone on 4/28.12 advising me that my pc MS operating system is .He had an indian accent and claims to be working for MS global. He said his name was David Watson and I could return his call to 57 252 5221 when I told him I was busy now.
He warned me that my operating system had been infected and if I log in now, he could walk me through a fix to save my files.
