This number called me today and said they were from Microsoft windows and I need to put my computer on so they could get in a fix a virus, hung up and look it up and it s a scam.

Got a call around 7:00 PM from someone running the  "eventvwr" scam. I've been long aware about these kinds of things that make attempts to rip off hard-working people and steal their identities, I was prepared. They barely got out the shtick about "my windows operating system" before I interjected and said "Wow...that's quite interesting since no one in our household owns a computer. Nice attempt to steal my personal information, though." Scared them enough to hang up on me. Seriously, people, get a real, HONEST job and quit trying to con people out of their hard-earned money!

(Actually there is only one PC in our household, so who's the dummy now? HA! I also filed a complaint with the FCC. May not do much good, but at least they'll be aware this old scam is still going on).
