this type of scam has called before. I didn't answer since I knew the # was not someone I know. Good I can look it up here and see that scam it really is.

Called twice late today.  Caller ID said ""John Kendall."  Sure it was...  Left no message on the machine, of course.

Called the house at 7:30AM same thing scam. But it did benefit me greatly, I would have been late for a final as I turned my alarm off and ended up falling back to sleep :). Thank you John Kendall.

Caller with heavy accent claimed that they had detected that our computer(s) had been infected with a virus. Of course, that is possible, but I am a computer professional and my security is pretty good. Even if we had a virus infection, it is almost impossible that they could detect it remotely. So, I was skeptical. He wanted me to go to a particular URL with my web browser, but then he hung up before he could give me the address.

If you get such a call, beware!  Navigating to a web site and allowing the site to modify your computer is a great way for someone to plant a virus. It's a scam... don't do it.

While the number turned up on caller ID as 347-753-9068 with the name John Kendall, I wonder if it might not have been a non-US number. The caller ID does not distinguish the country ID.

My wife just received the same call about her computer.  Clearly a scammer.  Caller ID showed John Kendall.
