How can I check if the appellant microsoft Windows is authentic?

I got several calls from people saying that they are from Microsoft. They tell me I have technical problems on the pc which could lead to a loss of information. I know that there were several scams & have not given access them to my pc, but they are persistent & so real I would rather sort out problems. Thank you very much. Wini

Microsoft not never initiate calls to users. Unless you've placed a support call and expect a call back from the support agent, the call is not Microsoft. You can ignore it, or, if you choose, you can keep the crook on the line as long as possible to keep him from calling other gullible users. You might even be able to obtain information which would allow Microsoft to identify which plays this means round.
