People should not be fooled by calls like these. How would they know your number. Do you have your phone number on your computer. If your computer had a problem it would show a special message on its screen with information of what you should do.
Also, they do not leave a message on your answering machine and the caller id does not show a name.
"Hi, this is Tom, calling from the technical maintenance department regarding your computer, how are you?"
Me: hung up
A technical maintenance department regarding my 10 y/o computer?? SCAM

Called before 9:00AM, caller I.D. said Indiana. The person that called said my computer sent a message that it has a problem. This seems to be a SCAM to gain access to your computer because of fake problem. BEWARE! Fake News!
