- MikeHuntletonMessage from Microsoft:Quote:Remember, Microsoft will never proactively reach out to you to provide unsolicited PC or technical support. Any communication we have with you must be initiated by you.
Cybercriminals often use publicly available phone directories, so they might know your name and other personal information when they call you. They might even guess what operating system you're using.
Once they've gained your trust, they might ask for your user name and password or ask you to go to a legitimate website (such as www.ammyy.com) to install Remote Access software that will let them access your computer to pretend to fix it. Once you do this, your computer and your personal information are vulnerable.
Do not trust unsolicited calls. Do not provide any personal information. Do not allow them access.

They claimed there was a gentleman in the area who was sent to shut off the power to one of our businesses. They are very well scripted and knew information that led us to believe it was accurate. I called National Grid and they confirmed this is a scam and to notify local policy and the attorney general's office.
