We received three calls in the last few days and caller with strong accent claims to be from "Windows" and they have detected messages from our computer indicating malicious activity. His instruction are to go to my computer and he will give me instructions on how to fix the problem.

I assume he will gain access to my computer and cause serious problems.

This scam seems to resurface frequently.

Caller ID, "Unknown Name 3-567-252-8512".

I asked a few leading questions and he kept going back to a prepared script.
