On Friday July 26, 2013 I got a call on our landline from an 888 exchange. The caller had a strong Indian accent and I thought he said he was Microsoft Support, but his accent was difficult to understand. Told me that they'd detected that my computer with Microsoft had a virus; had my computer been running slower? I currently do happen to have a ticket opened with Microsoft support so was hoping he would help with that, but told him I needed a number to call to verify that he was with Microsoft. He gave me 239-247-5552 and the name Edward Parker. When I called it, I thought they answered Microsoft, and they transferred me to that same caller. I started asking him questions and he put me on hold. Soon another guy answered as if I'd called him. I asked if he was with Microsoft Support, he answered "No, I'm with Microtech Support". I hung up and called again listening carefully to the greeting, which was Microtech Support. I told them I'd called the wrong number and hung up. The next day we got a call from ID "Opra Winfrey", the caller had a strong Indian accent and talked about a virus. He asked if we have a Microsoft computer, we answered no, and the caller hung up.
