Called saying he was tech support with Microsoft and wanted access to my computer because my computer was auto-downloading malicious software. Seems scammers have a new number to call from
Called me at noon today (Aug. 19/15) saying he is from Microsoft, and they have been getting many error messages from my computer, and that I have an Internet "confection" (maybe infection?). Wanted me to sit in front of my computer. Then there was a long pause on his part. Then he asked me if he could call me back tomorrow. When I asked him why, he said again because I have a "confection". I said no, and hung up. Then I blocked any future calls. He sounded Oriental, and there was a huge amount of background noise, as if from a call center.
