Scam fake call supposedly from Microsoft.
Dangerous scammer, claimed to be Peter from Microsoft calling about viruses and spyware on my computer. (Disclaimer: I've been programming computers since I was 6 years old. I know how to avoid viruses and how to get rid of them if I ever got one.) I've played along with this scam before, just to see what happens, and they eventually direct you to a *remote access* website where you would give them total access to your PC and they can install whatever ransomware, viruses, or spyware they choose. In this case, I told the guy that I was aware of the scam, and he told me to go F myself. I just laughed and he hung up... Yeah, definitely not Microsoft!! The sad thing is that some people are computer illiterate enough to fall for it. :(
