no name, no message,  just from NY NY

Just got a call from this number.  I didn't answer it, my dad did, but it's an indian guy talking about being from Microsoft Technical Dept.

call ID said: New York NY.  no message.. and if it's that Microsoft tech scam, I don't have any Microsoft products on my computer.

Man with heavy South Asian accent claiming to be David Johnson calling from Windows Technical Department.  Said there is a problem in my computer, that it is infected with a software bot.  Wanted me to perform a number of operations in the guts of the computer, none of which I did.  I finally got tired of him and said he was a scammer trying to harm me and my computer.  He denied all of that, and insisted he was only trying to help.  This is a dangerous scam.  Don't fall for it.

As if a company would call to fix a problem you didn't report...especially when a third party (virus) is the culprit.
Your ISP will notify you via email for example, should your IP address be suspected of malicious outbound behavior on their network. Its not common sense...its just sense and its seemingly uncommon enough to propogate these ppls existences.

Did not give a company name but mentioned we had a problem with windows software bot. I asked him how he knew this info and he could not answer.   I realised it was a scam immediately, he then asked if he could log on to my computer and i asked why, what makes you think i have a computer. I asked where he got my phone number and what company he was calling from and he could not answer. I kept asking him questions until he got frustrated.  I then told him to take the number he called off his calling list and he banged down the phone.  It's clearly a scam
