Got a call supposedly from Microsoft tech support. I asked his name and he said, mike Washington. He sounded Indian or pakistanian. I asked where he's located and he said cal-e-forn-ea. I asked why he was calling and he said we had 2 Microsoft errors and he wanted to know if I was at my computer. I told him I was outside working and to give me his number and I'd call back. He gave me (952) 467-6391. I looked up the area code and it confirmed my suspicions that his call was to gain personal information.

I got a call from an Indian accented (it seemed) guy who said, after he learned I had an Apple, that he was from Apple Support Center. Said he wanted me to go to www.teamviewer.com, and then would help with issues my computer is having in improperly sending files to hackers. After I expresses skepticism he started talking about his banana, other private parts, and what he could do on the phone. I told him he was boring me and hung up. He immediately called back but I did not answer.
I too received a call from this number saying I had downloaded some files and he needed my Windows Key. I told him that IBM technical support would need to get back with him because they manage my computer. His name was Ryan Thomas.
