Call from someone representing Micro Soft
Has anyone had a call from someone from India(?) saying they are from Microsoft and they need to fix the compouter by getting acess through a program? This was very scary since they kept saying they represented Microsoft and knew I had error problems on my PC. I think they were trying to sell a product but wonder if it is more serious than that. I would think Microsoft would want to know but do not have any way to contact them. This company's website had the Microsoft logo on it to prove they were legit. I refused to register with them but did allow them acess before I really got scared. Any info would help. They callled themselves MicroSystem Repair.
