Error report closely followed by scam phone call.
Hi all,4 to 5 days ago, I allowed my systemto make an Error Report after a glitch which made Windows close down. I've not done this before and have hardly any such glitches.Today, I took a phone call from an Indian call centre telling me they were Microsoft responding to my Error Report. They had checked and found I had a Deadly Virus which they could fix if I agreed used their Advance System Protector. This would eliminate the problems I was having (I am NOT having any continuing problems) and would speed up my PC.I could hardly hear what was being said as the headset/phone line were terrible and I told them so.They said I could sign up to their protection system for 70 on-line and my cyber world would be safer and faster.I said if their software was as bad as their phone equipment, I was not interested.However, my REAL concern is that this was the only time I've allowed my Windows system to make an error report. It seems strange that my error report was followed so closely by this scam call.Did did this company get detail of the error report and of my phone number. Or was this simply a coincidence.Thanks for any input.3 people need an answerI do too
