Phone scams

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/microsoft-impersonation-scam/

How many people are daily or weekly contacted by people impersonating Microsoft or other computer companies?  

"This is Microsoft Technical Support, about your computer...." as if our computer is sending out signals to Microsoft, even when it is turned off!  

Do Not believe these fraudulent people / Scammers! They are trying to obtain your personal or financial data if this involves paying them money to fix non-extant issues with your computer.  

Microsoft software is on most new computers sold in the USA.  

This activity is illegal and is considered harassment if allowed to persist. 

They also use non-traceable phone lines.  The Real Microsoft does not telephone people about their services.  You go to them.
