How can I report a phone call about a person borrows an identity a Microsoft Technician

August 18 at 14:49, I received a call from someone claiming to be a Microsoft technician. I barely understood what they said because there accent of the Middle East, but he said that it would be just a matter of time before my computer would crash because of the amount of errors on my computer. He then asked me to start my computer and to now hold the window by pressing the letter R and type eventvwr , and then press ok. A screen came up and on the upper left corner, was asked to support customs seen by double witch clicking grew to administrative activities and double-click on it. I was then invited to watch the center of the screen and above and asked if I could see administrative events and how much was there. I told her that there are 528 events. He then told me to scroll down on the list and all I could see were triangles (warnings) yellow and Red errors, 528 combined overall. He then told me that this list would continue to multiply until my computer would crash. He began to talk about a guarantee of microsoft which would prevent this list to build up again in the future. I told her that I had never heard of a software microsoft warranty. I asked him how this warranty was going to cost me, and he said it would be $ 109 for three years. First, I need to transfer control of my computer to a microsoft technical repairs and that I must leave my computer for a few hours, the time required to carry out all the repairs but first, I have to go to a website called www.ammyy.com . On this site, that I was told that I would be able to transfer control, and when repairs were fix, the technician would present me with a form, I have to fill in for Microsoft software guarantee for an amount of $ 109. I was wrong as well transfer controls because I started to suspect a fraud and I told him that I would not go further with that and that I was going to hang up the phone. His appeal is still on my phone but the number is not available so I can't remind him or provide Microsoft with phone number here. I hope that this information will be useful to Microsoft.

Kind regards.

Fake phone calls to technical support

Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam and are well known by Microsoft. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

Please see:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.
