Warning - Scam phone calls
I just got a phone call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft saying they had detected a hack into my computer.
Its sounded like a scam, as when I asked them for my name they couldn't provide it (I am in a rental so they couldn't search it out) I then said if I have been hacked what is the Ip address for the computer and the Software registration info. They of course just repeated they were a service call that my computer had been hacked. I then said well I need to call my son at Microsoft and have him run a diagnostic then don't I. At this point they hung up.
Unless something has changed Microsoft does not monitor peoples computers. Has anyone else gotten this call?
