I read MANY news about it and until now that kind of scam seems didn't stop. What make me more SAD is that there seems no action taken from authorities.Glad you raised this. I got a similar call last week and the man said his company "Windows" detected a virus in my computer. He claimed that he MUST have access to my pc or the virus would crash the system down. Lol! I wondered if the scammer really planned for the scam. If he did, he would have realized that the name of the company is Microsoft and that 'Windows' is only an OS introduced by Microsoft. I told him I knew what he was up to and alerted the police. He hung up.I also reported his phone NUMBER to Callercenter to raise a warning. He could be calling others who may not be aware, too. I also submitted a complaint to the FTC to shut the scam down.
