They identified themselves as part of the Windows Update Team. They wouldn't mention or say Microsoft no matter what I said to him. I'm an IT Tech and this guy who didn't speak very good English went on to tell me that suspicious IP addresses were accessing my computer. I informed him that my Sonic Wall (firewall) keeps logs of all incoming and outgoing traffic on my network. I asked him what the IP addresses were and I'd be happy to check my logs needless to say he was at a loss for words. He said he needed me to log on to my computer and he could show me (Red flag for any non tech users) never let anyone access your computer unless you know them. I went on to ask him which computer was compromised since I have 5 and various tablets & phones. He said the one you updated recently. I told him that would be zero then. I asked him for his rebuttal and he started to get frustrated. Anyways do not fall for this scam.
Received call from this number today. ID showed number and Aptos, CA. Don't know anyone in Aptos, so I let it ring. No message left, so I'm assuming it was a scam call.

Recieved the same call also noted on my caller ID as Aptos, CA. Called back and there was no ring, nothing. Just a disconnected on its own. Location came up as Monterey Penninsula, CA. Definitely a scam or telemarketers.
Pakistanis trying to gain access to my computer. If you are not nice, they get belligerent. WHY can't the FCC stop this with today's technology? They wouldn't knock on my door 4 times in one day, but they can freely call my house. I take the phone off the hook all day. My family has my cell number to reach me.
These people are spoofing numbers this is a scam they can make any number shut up on people's caller ID don't type nothing in your computer they will say your computer hacked or errors. Don't fall for this scam
