MICROSOFT SCAM - BEWARE!
MICROSOFT SCAM - BEWARE!
Many of us know of the scams out there and, thankfully nobody has tried to scam me yet (I think) However, this one is so convincing I thought I would warn you again. Yesterday the phone rang. The number looked like it came from America. It was "Raj from Microsoft". Instantly I knew what this was as "Which" magazine has stated before that Microsoft will never contact by phone. He stated that we had a lot of malware on our laptop and it was not working properly and could I link it up with his computer so that he could correct the problem. I tried to get him to explain this problem more to me and he was so convincing - said he had the registration number so that I could see it was authentic. Got fed up with him and passed the phone over to husband who told him that we hadn't used the laptop in the best part of a year - which is true - so he couldn't understand what the problem was. Even so Raj continued undaunted and Chas put the phone down on him. MICROSOFT ARE ONLY SUPPOSED TO CONTACT BY COMPUTER (not sure about letter). So please, please don't link your computer unless you are seeking help with a problem like, say Know How etc.
