I just had another scam call supposed to come from Microsoft (which it obviously wasn't)
I followed all they said as to where to look on the computer until the command prompt and they said type !!!? they said you should now have a long list of files .
I said no it just has a big notice in the screen saying This is a scam do not continue
They said this is not a scam and rung off

Congratulations on your vigilance ..
Scum of the earth these guys ..
Microsoft will NEVER call end users of windows .. as soon as someone says "im from Microsoft", its time to hang up - or time for your Tourette's to flare up :rotfl:1 -

Yes I agree about hanging up but I just wanted to waste their call and time.0 -
Silence is golden!
I invested in BT's BT8500 Advanced call blocker from Amazon
Digital cordless phone with answering machine. Chose x3 hand sets. Wonderful. ALL pest calls have stopped.
Only wish some one had told me about these phones sooner!The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)0
