Windows Scam
I know this has been posted before but I just want to make sure everyone is aware of this. I just received a phone call from - Windows 8. The man said he was calling to tell me Windows and Microsoft wanted to let me know the reason my computer was slow, and had other problems was because someone had hacked my computer and it had viruses on it. Wanted to have me turn on my computer(it was already on). So I asked for his information and said I would call back. This is the information I was told.
Company name: 24 Technel Care
Address: 22 Broadway Street, White Plains NY
His stated number: 914 290-4992 ask for Ext.5410
Number on my caller ID: 474 475-1328
Don't be fooled this is not Microsoft. I called Microsoft and reported this. And was told never give information to someone who calls you like this. You have to call them at the official number during normal business hours.
Hope this helps prevent these crooks from getting anyone's personal information.
