Beware of this Telephone Scam! "Microsoft" Says Your Computer Has a Virus..
the reason i am posting this is because they have tried to call me twice on our rarely used land-line. The wife got the first one and came to me concerned with the phone in her hand. She said "someone from Microsoft is calling about a virus on the computer"... I said "gimme that". The guy had hung up. It was a private number.
i thought nothing of it really until the next day they called back. This time, i answered. She said "sir, we have reason to believe you have a virus on your computer and we need to fix it right away". I look down at my water cooled GAMING RIG with all the bells and whistles and i say "bitch, you don't know anything about my computer" she said "excuse me sir, but we need you to type in this we address to try to resolve this virus". I said "you must not have heard me, don't know shit about my pc so why are you calling"? she, in her "east indian" voice (guessing), says, "please watch your language" and hung up. Private call again so i couldn't call back. Havent got one since. I know you guys aren't dumb enough to fall for this but make sure you tell the wife and kids! They might be more gullible!
