Received a call from 458-201-2021, caller ID showed Eugene, Oregon. Since I have a daughter that lives in that area, I answered the phone. A male voice (heavy east Indian accent) stated that they are receiving error messages from my Windows machine and only they can fix it because it is their operating system! First of all, I ONLY use Apple products; therefore, I knew it was a scam immediately; however, I asked him what is wrong? He told me to open my windows machine using the start button (I let him talk for awhile) after a few minutes acting like I'm following along (I'm retired, I have time) I finally told him I do not have a Windows machine and that I have a MAC. He said wait a minute (like he is going to talk to his boss), when he came back online he then said "open up Safari". I told him "I don't use Safari" (I actually use Google Chrome)...again, he stated "we are the only ones that can fix your problem because it is our operating system". I told him, since it is their operating system then he must work for Apple. He then hung up.
