Scam-Beware

Be careful of this phone scam going round, don’t be fooled by their lies.

 Just had a telephone call from ‘Microsoft’ saying that our computer had been hacked with something called ‘Events Log’. 

She asked me to go up to my pc and turn it on and press various buttons, which I said I was doing, whilst actually googling on my phone ‘Microsoft scam’ just to check. It’s all over the Internet! 

If I had let them, they would have taken control of my pc and registered all my information, passwords, keystrokes etc. As soon as I said to her I have been looking on the internet whilst talking to you and I think this is a scam, she immediately hung up. 

PHONE NUMBER IS 0018529411977 – lady had Indian accent and asked for me by name. Scary, please share.

If you receive this call do not answer or hang up immediately
