A woman called and said she was with Microsoft Technical security support (what I remember her saying anyway) and that my computer was sending a lot of errors being sent to their servers and that she needed the Microsoft service ID number to fix it and that if I was near my computer she could guide me on how to get the number and show me the errors. When I told her it seemed to be working perfectly she hung up on me (something a legitimate company wouldn't do). This is a total scam probably to sell the service ID numbers or to serendipitously gain access to your computer for criminal purposes. “THIS IS A SCAM PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR IT OR GIVE THEM INFORMATION FROM YOUR COMPUTER “

Introduced himself as "Online Tech Support" with "Microsoft" - NOT. They want you to run MSCONFIG and they will fix your errors/problems on the PC. Phone number on caller ID was 1-307-243-5143 and the other number I got from them was 1-844-282-7807 (trans natl. llc) something like that.
THIS IS A PRANK CALL - DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO ACCESS YOUR COMPUTER......

I’ve received a call for the 3rd time on my house line from 307-243-5143 in about a week’s time. Alex once again, which he doesn’t speak clear English, stating that he worked for Windows Microsoft and one of my computers has been compromised. I asked him again who he worked for and he stated "We are a 3rd party vendor of Microsoft". He then asked me to perform a search on Teamviewer in Google and wanted me to download this software. At that point I hung up on him.
When I was resistant to him and questioning him, he got very uptight and slightly nasty. This is a scam and if one was to download the software and allow him to enter your computer/laptop, he'd be on his way of stripping off all of your information or inserting a virus to steal all of your valuable data. Don't fall victim, be aware!
