Someone had a phone call from a crook "Windows Care"?
Yesterday, on November 4, @ 5:00 p.m. PDT, I received a phone call from a man with an accent who knew my name saying he called "Windows Care" and there was a problem with my computer. I hung up.
I wonder if others get these calls in North America. I read that it was a wave of them earlier in the year in the United Kingdom. How he got my phone number and name? How can protect yourself you?
JenniferAnne, Victoria BC, CANADA
It's a scam and the calls are received in Europe and North America we know... probably in Asia and South America also. Name and telephone number could come from "the directory" or any public documents. Protect you by doing exactly what you did... you were enough NET determine this was a scam and you have hung up.

Phone calls from a person claiming ot be a Microsoft Contractor regarding the INF file
I get phone calls from a person claiming to be a Microsoft contractor. He said that my computer has been hacked and wanted me to access my INF file so I could correct and stop piracy. I have trouble understanding what he said because his accent was so heavy. Why a caller would want me to access my INF file? He seeks access to my computer? Can hacking really stop this drive? Microsoft really knows when someone hacked my computer? Help!
Hello
Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. 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.

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.

Phone calls from a person claiming to be from microsoft a SCAM?
Everyone has just received a phone call from someone with a foreign accent CLAIMING to be from Microsoft? and they said that I got the virus, ect on my computer and they wanted me to go on the computer and I guess = open a site that would PROBABLY destroy my computer... I told the man twice, that I had no problems and thanked him for the call and HUNG up...
I heard there is a SCAM where someone from another country wants to go to a certain web site current and there wher you download something that ruins your system. I'm not stupid and I quickly hung up.
(I have Dial-up internet so I couldn't talk on the phone and be online at the same time..) ... When I'm out here = I dial * 69 and see if I get a phone number... at this JERK. and if anyone is interested I'll let you know what is this number.
- - - - -
Edit: a post later
I did a * 69 as the number is unknown... as expected... I thought it was a SCAM and immediately hung up on him... and gave him no information or access to my computer.

I keep getting phone calls from a person in India (or a person with an Indian accent) who says that he comes from Windows and there is a problem with my computer. He calls me by name and asks me to turn on my computer, that I refuse to do. This looks like a scam to me, given that Windows notifies users of problems with updates on the internet. In addition, I am on the "do not call" list, but it seems to make no difference.
