BEWARE of callers claiming to be from Microsoft

Legacy_user

Half an hour ago, I had a telephone call from a foreign sounding man, claiming to be from Microsoft and he would sort out my problems. Politely I told him my computer was fine and to go away.

I posted this elsewhere and within minutes someone told me their mum had been scammed and gave me this link.

We had them call up a couple of weeks ago. we kept them talking for a little while asking dumb questions. They just hung up when they realised we knew. The background sounded like someone was watching a football match.
