Hi,
I just had a call from someone claiming to be microsoft getting me to type
alot of stuff into my computer. They told me that there is a problem with xp
and if i didnt fix it my computer would crash and i would loose everything.
Once it crashes there is no way for them to fix it. They told me to go to run
and type in Prefetceh. I am a little concerned about this call as it came up
on my phone as overseas and it is out of business hours for me to contact
microsoft direct. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated in this
matter. Is there a problem with XP?
Thanks in advance
If you've been working with a MS tech and provided them with your
contact info, there is a reasonable chance that the call is/was legit -
I've talked with many real MS support people over the years, but the
conversation was always initiated by calling MS Support numbers and then
calling me back as needed.
If you did not initiate a support call then you were scammed.
