I have received a call from a man who introduced himself as Microsoft at work today. He told me that our computer was in danger so he was trying to fix it for us. I was suspicious so I asked his name and call back number to him, but all he told me was: "go to in front of PC. I could figure out that he attempted remote access to our computer. We have online banking so he could steal money from there. So I declined it and hang up phone courteously, but he continued to call us on and on, it was very disturbing.................Obviously, he is a scammer!
Have you ever heard from Microsoft? I have heard that some scammers impersonate IRS(Central Govenment Taxation in USA) and call especially seniors, but I have never heard of impersonation of Microsoft. So many scammers out there now. 😡
Take good care of yourself,
