Called me and asked me if I have a computer. I said yes, he said that Microsoft is having problems and they need to change some settings in my computer. Wanted me to send them my specs off my computer and even would like me to let them look threw my computer via computer to computer access. I asked this person, how do you know I have Microsoft software? he said, we have it on our records. I said that\'s funny, cause I have a mac. The guy hung up.

Scam I think? lol Some people would have fell for this. I am a computer tech, so I knew it was a scam right away. Microsoft does not call you.

I searched the # on my call display... It said..

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell. And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
