this is a Scam - Received a call from this number stating that they have received data that my PC was transmitting data to show that my PC is infected with Malware/Spam. thay said if I went on my PC they would give me steps to view this and fix the problem. DO NOT BELIEVE THIS. They are going to upload a virus or something on your PC.
SCAM! Search on "Windows Tech Support Scam" or "Microsoft Tech Support Scam". They try to trick you to go to a website that will grant remote access to your computer. Once they get on they will install ransomware or edit your registry to cause your computer to malfunction then extort money from you to "fix" it. They will also very likely install malware like a keylogger to obtain your userids, passwords, credit card numbers and banking information. DO NOT FOLLOW ANY OF THEIR DIRECTIONS! Either hang up or tell them Microsoft has information on their website that they are scammers (they do). If you are tech savvy, play games with them. See how long you can keep them on the phone and how mad you can make them.
