I got a strange call today. Someone speaking in a heavy Indian accent & claiming to be from Microsoft said my computer was infected with Malicious code and/or a virus and it was sending out error messages to their servers.
She wanted me to turn over my remote access to her so she could "fix it" !?!
LOL !!! YEAH RIGHT !!! Like I'm really gonna do that !!
And really, since when did MICROSOFT start calling pro-activly to "help" with Windows viruses?
I told her I didn't have time for such nonsence & hung up. Then blocked the number from my phone.
After reseaching the phone # I found out I wasn't the only one they tried to scam.
Beware this scam !
