Old scam, new approach

Just a warning that as just about everyone must have heard of the we are from Microsoft and your computer needs us to take it over etc. they have changed tack. Call I just received claimed that my internet was going to be closed off as I had downloaded some very bad problems but they could fix them if I switched on my computer and did as instructed!!!!!!

Glad you raised this. I got a similar call from a 800-698-9034. Caller claimed their company "Microsoft" monitored a virus in my computer and that I should give him remote access to my PC to remove it. But obviously, it was a bluff. Surely, Microsoft doesn't handle Macs. Lol!

Besides, this page http://www.callercenter.com/800-698-9034.html along with several others, came up when I Googled the phone #. Apparently, the caller's been calling people about fake computer problems. Beware everyone!
