Computer Scan!! What should i do next?
Hello all, i just wanted to come here for some advice, maybe if anyone could help or point me in the right direction?
I have just had a strange call from a supposed windows microsoft computer support system. First off, it struck me as strange as i know microsoft windows dont call anyone to give support..
So i listened to what he had to say, he knew my name, he told me my computer had been sending them error messages. So he offered me support and to 'fix my computer forever'. lol
I told him i wouldnt do anything over the phone, and asked him for someone local to call and help me out. He said there wasnt anyone local who could do it.
I knew from then on, it was definitely some sort of scam. He got snarky with me when i asked for his name and then put me onto his 'supervisor'. He then got mad when i asked what the company name was and then freaked out on the phone saying he 'never said he was from microsoft windows'.
I hung up the phone and then googled it, it seems a lot of people have had the exact same calls.
What should i do next? It worries me as he knew my name and address and such..
