I think I have got about 20 calls from those scammers. My GF also when she didn't even had a computer. They get their list of phone numbers from international telecom operators that doesn't care about personal information. Trust me. Been there. Didn't do it. ID: 1721378 ·

Again!!! They, with a heavy indian english accent say, I have problem with my computer. No one from Microsoft Support will contact you right out of the blue, not by Telephone, Email, Snail-mail, Chat or TwittÉ™r. Microsoft also have a swedish office where the people speak swedish and don't contact you unless you have contacted them. The fee is about 100 Euros per hour. Even my GF had calls from them even though she doesn't own a computer! https://blog.malwarebytes.org/threat-analysis/2013/05/tech-support-scams-a-look-behind-the-curtain/ ID: 1777125 ·
