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!
