Malware Phishing Scam Alert From Skype
Just had a call from this man @ this no#. he said he was calling from Washington DC but I already ran his area code and it was a Skpe no# out of California. my computer was running bad already , so i thought he knew a little about it. he claimed he was calling from Microsoft and we have a security system we just put in and we are to get alerts from our local service. He had my computer ID# because I was looking at it on my end and he read it to me. then he wanted me to look at all the infections , but those were not infections they were lagitimate websites i had been on and I recognized them. just got of the phone with my computer repair guy, he said Microsoft never calls you about a virus. he also told me more than likely my PC has been compromised .This guy that called never gave a name.
The HR dept at my company got a call today from this number, asking for my husband who used to work here. The man said his name was Jim Patrick but had a really heavy foreign accent. Said he was from FedEx and had a package for my husband and wanted to know if he worked here. He hung up when HR told him no. Now that I know this is a scam I feel better...so it's probably random and not some nut job after my husband! Thanks for providing this information so we can all be a bit more cautious.
