Hello

, I just received a phone call from someone claiming to be Centre.They of Windows Support tried to tell me that my computer was damaged and he sent them continually 'wireless error messages.

I hung up on them thinking that it was a scam but they knew my full name, address & telephone number.

Jumped the gun by hanging up on them?
What is the best way to know if the computer is damaged?

Fake phone calls to technical support

You have made the right choice.

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.

Please see:

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.
