Just got a call from a guy with a thick Indian accent telling me I needed to give him access to my computer because it was telling "windows" that we had a bunch of "malicious error messages" on the hard drive. When I said I was not comfortable with that he began to get angry and repeated his message. I [lied] told him that our computer'd been off for quite some time so I didn't see why it would do that, he said it had nothing to do with the computer, and that the computer (no joke) was sending these messages to "windows" and that is why he was calling. When I asked him the name of the owner of the computer he said "ma'am I cannot give that to you". So I told him that I still didn't feel comfortable but that I would get it looked at by our LOCAL computer tech. He then told me I was being a "racist <bleep!>" (not once did I mock his accent or even mention he had one) and hung up on me. Be aware that scammers are calling. The Caller ID showed the name as "live78956" and gives "UNKNOWN NUMBEr".
