Anonymous Coward User ID: 28870983 United States 02/08/2013 04:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A friend of mine got locked out of her pc and at the same time the phone rings. The guys says he works for Microsoft and wanted $200 to unlock her pc. Wanted her credit card number. She called me instead and I reloaded the hidden partition thus wiping out his lockout program. Another friend had his yahoo account hacked. Seems to be an uptick with this kind of thing. |

Why not just install a linux distro? Mint and Ubuntu are pretty user friendly. |

Zuzu's Petals User ID: 31989439 Canada 02/08/2013 05:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Got a call from Microsoft saying my modem was hacked .......... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17520273 it was a east indian voice dont know who it was they claim they can use my computer for cyber attacks what do i do ????? Are you kidding? Surely, you can spot these wackos a mile away. That "company" has called me many times claiming that my "Windows" is spreading viruses to other computers. The first time they called, I lied and said, "I don't have a computer." Then he was like, "Everyone has a computer." And I said, "Well I don't so what are you talking about?" So it went back and forth to the point where he started swearing at me. Anyway, here's what I do with these kinds of people. There's also another company that called me for a LONG time saying that they're going to clean my "ducts" (?). I told them that the next time they call me, I'm calling the police because they're harassing me. They said "ok" and hung up. :) If you Google "Who calls me from..." and enter the number, you can usually find a bunch of other people who have received the same phone call. I tend to not pick up for any number I don't know, unless I want to have some fun with the telemarketers. And most legit companies will not cold call you like that. Just an FYI.
