BEWARE: This caller is trying to access your computer, get into it actually! Says he's with IT Solutions and has been getting reports from my computer that there are problems.
Then he wants to get you to open your computer up to him by getting to the "Run" screen (windows key and r key) then he wants you to type event vwt. This could open up all of my critical info to him I believe. i asked him again who he was with Dell? and he said Microsoft. I have a good program to get out my malware, etc., so of course doubted his call. I asked him for an 800 number but he gave me this one- 209 920 6161. It could be fake number cause my caller ID just says "out of area" and he could've told me anything. The point is, don't get sucked into his story. He did have a foreign accent.
DO NOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. IF YOU BELIEVE HIM CALL MICROSOFT YOURSELF AND HAVE THEM WALK YOU THROUGH OR ACTUALLY GET INTO YOUR "RUN" BOX AND SEE FOR THEMSELVES. DON'T LET SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW YOUR NAME AND CAN RANDOMLY CALL PHONE NUMBERS GET INTO YOUR COMPUTER.
