Warning about calls from India and “Windows Team”

Folks, I am getting an average of 3 calls per week from clients stating they got calls from a “Guy from India” working for the Windows team. Some get trapped into the calls and eventually allow the “tech” to remote into their computer, some hang up and call me and insure they did the right thing. Same story, it’s a scam.

They show you event logs of warnings and tell you that you have tons of viruses, or your system is in need of repairing. They are now also installing a software tool and that runs, and shows you many errors (that may be common for your computer to have) and that you must hire them at $99 or their “unlimited support” package at $149 to $300.

Friendly reminders…Microsoft will never call you to tell you that your computer has viruses, hang up on anyone immediately that wants access to your computer, call me next if you feel you might have a virus either way.
