I received numerous calls from these weirdos finally today I told the guy that I have a MAC so how is it that you want to assist me?  He got all frustrated then hung up on me I hope that put an end to it.

Some idiot that needs to get locked up!  I wonder if and how many people gave access to this hacker.. called and said my computer is illegally downloading programs w.o my awareness.  Even tho I just reinstalled my software to factory settings. I Asked why he's calling from 209 area code n he hung up after having nothing to say.

Phone call indicating numerous error messages had been received from my computer and the caller wanted to help me fix the issues over the phone with access to my computer.

Exact same thing happened that Lisa noted on October 12, 2012.

Same call.  They gave me the above number to call back.  I did and the gentleman with a very strong acent said my computer was sending error messages to Microsoft.  He wanted me to go to my comupter and he would give me instructions.  I told him that I would call Microsoft myself and hung up.  I called Microsoft and advised them of the call.
