Received a call from 952-467-6389. Caller ID said Kavish Techsof. Caller claimed to be from Microsoft tech services and said my computer was downloading viruses and malware. Since I'd heard about the scam before I let him talk until he said he needed remote access to my computer. That's where I hung up.
This scammer threatened one of my elderly friends the FBI would be after her for treason if she did not give them her credit card number. She said I live in Canada and he said the Canadian police would be after her. They took control of her computer and I was lucky to shut him down and out.

Got 5 calls between 10 AM and 12:30 PM Apr 29. Callers identify themselves as Microsoft Technicians calling from the Technical Centre at the Windows Service Centre in Utah. First caller was from 952-467-5890 and second caller was from 952-467-6389. As each called and explained they were not a hoax and there to help me I explained that I would not deal over a phone but only at my local shop. In each case they got irratated and then I asked for their number so I could check them out and call them if I found they were legit. The first one recalled me and finally gave up when I told him I would not deal with him after reading the reports about his scam on the internet. The second caller phoned again and I told him I was on the other line with the police ( I wasn't) and would call him later depending on what police said. An hour later he called again and I told him that the Federal Business Bureau, the Saskatchewan Police, and the International Computer Fraud Squad had all become involved regarding his earlier phone calls. Then he still tried. So I told him that the RCMP were already organizing enough snow mobiles to ride as far south as they could towards Utah till they run out of snow. I asked if he had heard of the Lone Ranger and he said he had. I said that once the snow ran out then the RCMP were meeting up with a division of Texas Rangers on horses led by George Custer and they would ride to Utah and track him down with horses and helicopters. There was a long pause and then he said he didn't believe me. I started laughing and asked him which part of the story gave it away and he hung up. Maybe it was the part about Custer!!!
