Possible Scam


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I was recently contacted by someone caiming to be from Microsoft on and international call (possibly India?) saying he was ringing me to help rid my computer of the Trojan bug. He was asking me to enter things onto my laptop.

 

I was very suspicious of this as I have not asked for any help, and how did they get my telephone number? When I queried who they were he passed me to his supervisor who tried to reassure me. Obviously this was not helpful as I still could not be certain who they were.

 

Do Microsoft randomly call people to "help" with viruses and bugs? Where would they get contact names and details from. This is the first time I have ever registered with Microsoft that I remember, and you haven't asked my for a telephone number!!!!

 

Please advise.

 

Regards

 

Lesley
