I got a phone call a few minutes ago (June 11, 2013 at 12:27 pm). The Caller ID said "Transcom Enhanc" with phone number 801-532-2038. I answered. The guy on the phone asked me if my name is [he gave my real first name]. The guy has an accent, though not a strong one, and his English is very good. I can't tell what accent. My guess is Indian or Pakistani, but I could be wrong. He said his name is Jerome Smith. I had him repeat it, although I'm not absolutely positive of the first name. He told me he was working on behalf of Microsoft and that he knew I use Windows 7 and wanted me to open my computer right then so he could get access to it and turn back on crucial Microsoft software that was currently turned off that protected my computer. He said it would take 2 minutes. I told him that I had good repair programs that could do that, and that I would run them and call him back at that number if I found any problems after running those programs. Then I said goodbye and hung up.
