i got a call from 408 124 5782. The guy claimed to be from Microsoft and said that he was getting errors from my computer. He wanted me to review some reports that he was seeing. I asked him to prove that he was from the company and that I was actually one of his clients.
He started to try to impatiently reassure me that his call was legitimate. I played along for a brief minute and let him tell me what he wanted me to do. Since I was on a MAC, he wanted me to go google and bring up team viewer. Once he told me that, I let him know that in no way was I going to share access to my desktop with him (especially without any validation). He then proceeded to cuss me out. He started to curse me and my family. Needless to say, it was a scam.
