A male going by the name of 'Daniel' called stating he was from Microsoft Technical Department and needed me to turn my computer so he could clear a virus off my computer, he told me I must follow his instructions immediately or my computer would crash, he kept telling me that it was urgent. I googled "microsoft technical department", they had warnings of scams of this nature. 'Daniel' gave me this number to call him back, I explained my husband would call him back. When I phoned a few minutes later to confirm the number, 'Daniel' answered with a simple 'hello', he did not identify himself in the greeting, a little odd. SCAM.
