Received a call saying they were Microsoft to fix my computer. Gained access to my computer. They clicked on my turbotax which would give the access to my bank information
This is a scam. I challenged them on everything they kept telling me was wrong with my machine and they ended up so confused they did not know what to say anymore. They told me I had a problem with my windows machine and I told them I did not have w windows machine so they said we mean your apple machine and I told them I did not have that either. At that point it was just fun to mess with them. Do not let them into your machine.
Received a call from someone with very broken English, and was told there was a security update that was in error and he wanted me to type something in the command prompt. I asked him which security update was the problem and he could not answer the question.
Microsoft scam ... Microsoft is so damn big that they do not have time to be calling everyone and their brother ... furthermore if I needed something from Microsoft I had to call them plus for any tech assistance I may need at the time they had no problem in charging me up my a$$ to talk with them. In short this is a identity theft at it's finest. They will download any and all information about you and your family and have them for sale on the black market in a matter of minutes. These call numbers are bogas since these crooks can't talk English.
Just remember if you do not recognize the number you don't have to answer it ... and for your own safety, don't be one of those stupid people and do a call back on a number you missed by stating to them "I missed a call from this number" Caller ID is for your protection, it is not there for you to call them. Remember if they don't leave you a message, it's not important.
