A foreign sounding person said he was with "Windows technologies" and he wanted me to sign on my computer and he would help me get rid of deadly viruses. I said I wouldn't and hung up. He had the nerve to call back and said that this was important and that I must do as he said. I told hiom not to call again.
Very convincing scam!
Got call from this number 607-733-1419 claiming my computer was sending them viruses and that he was from the windows software company and that I needed to fix it. He instructed me to navigate to a certain window on my computer that did show some error messages.I stopped there and started asking him more questions about who he worked for and why they had never called me before. He was vague in his answer. I told him I was going to leave my computer alone and he told me if I did not want to proceed that that was fine. I hung up. I never never gave him proxy control or entered any pass words. I felt it was some kind of scam.
