Default Microsoft Scam

Several months ago there was a Microsoft Scam going around, where a person calls you on the phone and says they are from Microsoft and tells you something is wrong with your computers. Then they tell you that you need to enter numbers or something so that they can straighten everything out. If you did what they wanted they would have access to all your information Banking etc.

Well a little while ago the phone rings and my husband answers.....the caller ID shows "private number" the guy says he is from miscrosoft and something is wrong with our computers. My husband says "I don't have a computer, I do everything with a calculator" the guy hangs up. Guess that is one way to get rid of the scammers. HA!!

Every time I hear or see about a scam I tell my husband so he is aware of what is going on since he is the one that usually answers the phone....he knows NOT to give out any info.
