Any call like this IS a complete scam. Just dispensed with one myself. Best thing you can do if you have time is to play along and waste their time. Will have you run some harmless utilities on your computer that just show normal error conditions and services running/stopped: assoc, event viewer, sysconfig or services, etc. Harmless as long as you change NOTHING. Might read a long GUID out which will match your (and everyones') computer. Will finally tell you to run Internet Explorer (iexplore) with a URL on the command line. DON'T. URL is to a Dominican Republic server (blah-blah-blah.DO/etc). At this point tell caller you did this and it brought up a picture of his sister on a porn site. Enjoy him either exploding with rage at the time he has wasted or the slow burn before he just hangs up. You might even get them to rage and argue with you. Just enjoy it. They're wasting their time and money on the call to you, even if they lie and say they aren't.

Got the same thing today. Hung up on them.

I don't even have a computer and he tried this [***].

Caller said he was from Microsoft technical support and wanted me to log in so he could sort the problems with my computer.  This is a scam, which I reported to BT They said they were aware of the scam and could not do anything about it as the calles are from abroard

You know tech support doesn't call you unless you have mcaffe or something but Microsoft tech support never calls you especially if the guy sounded indian then he works at a call center lmao who scams people
