Scammer. Tried to say they were my ISP provider and gave the name of Matrix.com. Said I was going to crash the servers and harm my neighbors. That I would be accused. They wanted to "walk" me through getting rid of malware....THIS IS A SCAM, DO NOT log on to your computer or provide them ANY information. Hang up.

Do people still fall for this?
I called my mother about 15 minutes ago and she answered me a bit stressed out. She had someone on the phone who said that they were from Microsoft and that her computer was causing problems on the internet. She told him that there were no problems and that her husband was on as they were speaking. At that he asked her to put him on. Thank god I called before she did this. I told her to give him my number. She gave it to him, but he did not call. He called her back and told her that I didn’t answer. I told her to tell him to call her system administrator and leave her alone. It turns out the call was from Nova Scotia and it is a scam. I guess not enough people are clicking on spam and infecting their computers the old fashioned way so they are now resorting to calling people’s homes and trying to get them to download software or give them credit card info. Please don’t do it, Microsoft will not call your home.
We just got a call from the number. First they tried to tell us that it was urgent and important that we were messing up their computer systems and then they tried to tell us they could fix it. When I told them I would call Microsoft to get it fixed, they said they worked for Microsoft. When I told them I still wanted to call them and get the help I needed, they said Microsoft would charge us more than they would. Oops. Scam.
My mother just got a call from this number and it says that my mother's computer is messing up their computer systems. My mother does not even own a computer.
