I got this call today on my cellphone. The number that appeared on caller ID was 1900142...very strange..he had a very heavy middle eastern accent. He said he was a MICROSOFT ENGINEER and that my computer was hacked. He said it was very dangerous that my computer was not protected and I needed his help. He wanted me to get my computer. I said I have my IPad he said no no I need to log on to my computer. I said I haven't used my computer for months, only my IPad. He said, "oh my GOD".. Yes that's what he said, not "Allah" or "Allah Akbar" he said, "oh my God" you must get your computer on, it's very serious. I asked him what he was selling, he said "I don't sell anything I need to help you, I'm MICROSOFT ENGINEER to help you. I told him to give me his number and I'll call him back he gave me 213-457-3846. I've had malware viruses, I've had my credit cards and bank account hacked, so I am very suspicious about everything. So glad I didn't fall for this.
