[HCARC] Microsoft Impersonation Scam

[Gary J - N5BAA]

Even better - the idiot managed to call me on my home number too (sometimes 
I am truly blessed).  Same attempt to get me to turn on my computer and go 
to this website.  I told them my computer was locked - not with a password 
but with a lock and chain.  When asked why I told him my name was Bill 
Clinton and since my wife Hillary was being investigated for email server 
problems there wasn't anything I could do for him.  He insisted on trying to 
talk me into his scam so I told him to be sure to stay on the phone for at 
least 30 more seconds so that the FBI and Department of Homeland Security 
could get a good trace on his phone call - CLICK and the line went dead. 
Darn, I was just getting started.

Ah yes, the anonymous caller with an Indian accent scam has started again. 
I received a phone call from them today.  Just hang up on them,  Microsoft 
says they never make unsolicited phone calls.  This clown says my computer 
is interfering with Microsoft’s servers and was causing them to be shut 
down.  IF TRUE – oh well!!!  Hang Up on them and maybe they will leave you 
alone – at least until their robo dialer hits on your number again..
