MICROSOFT CALLING
How many have received a call from someone with English as second language claiming to be from Microsoft support? Now with the flood of IT support jobs LEAVING the USA, it is easily believable simply based on lack of English skills, but really,, Microsoft is calling you… have you every tried to find a support phone number for ANY of these Tech giants?
With the recent release of Windows 10 and the fun little pop up on our computers about getting a FREE COPY, again it lends credibility to the scammers calls ( they know this and the timing couldn’t be more perfect).
Lets try another quick POLL. (these are fun and all answers are anonymous)
Cold calls that you receive and have not initiated are just TRE-TEXTS for fraud. Unless you called them DO NOT tell them anything.
The first test is if they can give you a number and extensions to call them back at. Take a look at this pic from a overseas call I received at home, they didn’t even try to block or mask the foreign caller ID, and didn’t even opt to pay for a VOIP line to get domestic number for their fraud attempt.
FAKE Microsoft call
Its not just Microsoft, I have gotten calls from “Norton Anti-Virus support” and other common names that you think of related to your PC.
HANG UP AND CALL the support line for that business or company calling you.
