Random Microsoft Call
Random Microsoft Call
So it's 9 :45 AM and I was sleeping a lovely sleep . Since my mum doesn't speak English she woke me up to talk to someone that was currently talking to her on the phone .
He was saying that he is calling me from Ireland about my Microsoft Pc . He knew my father's name and our telephone , but we didn't give them out to anyone and we didn't purchase anything computer related on his name .
I told him that I don't have a Windows OS , but I have an Apple Macintosh Operating System .
He stopped for a moment , and just continued telling me to switch on the PC so he could tell me step by step how to delete this 'hidden file' . After he told me to turn on the PC he just hung.
His number is 9751761321 and I googled it and it says it is an Indian Number . Many people are aware of someone calling them about a hidden file and he just hacks your computer .
Do you think this was a scam ?
Btw we don't really have a Macintosh we have a Windows Xp and a Windows 7 OS , but I just invented something at the moment
