I received a call claiming that they were Microsoft and that my computer was signaling them that it had a virus or software problem. I asked the woman for her phone number, saying that I would call her back. She hesitantly gave it to me like this- 9524 6763 80. She had a foreign accent.... I asked where she was, being suspicious of how she said the phone number, and she replied, "New York." The number she gave me is a Minnesota area code. She had wanted me to get in front of my computer right away. I don't know what else would have happened if I would have allowed it to continue.

They've been calling me for weeks. I just got the same number, but this time he told me it was in Washington DC. I told him I was reporting them to the FBI. I'm sure the number is bogus, so, really, there's nothing I can do.
