This Indian accented person called claiming to be from Microsoft and was calling to let us know there were two reports of someone trying to hack our computer. I asked which one and he could not respond- he just continued to state he was calling to let us know. I asked him what my name was and he had it- weird. He never identified himself by name at anytime.Next, I asked him the phone number of Microsoft as it did not show up on our caller ID. He gave us this number. Then I asked him for the Microsoft Office address and could not produce it. He asked if I wanted his cell number and his home address... REALLY???? I told him I did not want to call his personal cell number or have his personal address. He asked why so many questions and I told him this sounds like phishing and hung up. This guy was persistent and called back again- I told him good luck with his scam and hung up. He called a 3rd time and I let it go to voice mail- he left no message.
