My wife handed me the phone, telling me it was someone from Microsoft. They never introduced themselves by name or said Microsoft when I took the phone, they just claimed that my computer was sending error messages to "them" and my computer was infected with a virus. He urged me to access my computer, but not wanting to fall prey, I asked him to identify which of my 4 computers running Windows it was. All he could do was repeat it was the computer running Windows. I then told him he was a scammer, at which he became upset and told me this virus would cause me serious problems and hung up.
