I answer my home phone and a Chinese sounding caller in 'excited tone' identifies themself as 'Microsoft Word' calling and inquiring 'why is your computer downloading Malware?' Are you aware your 15 yr old computer is installing Malware? WHY is it downloading Malware?' ( all the caller would do is ask the same questions)
Playing along, I stated, "No! What should I do???'
"Go get on your computer right now!"
I thought it was a scam when they said Microsoft was calling and this person sounded excitable and foreign and was talking very fast. Asking me questions that were none of their business. I also didn't like that they 'knew' or guessed I had an old computer. But the joke is on them. We NEVER use it and there is nothing on it!
I promptly hung up.
Caller ID states the call was from Ontario. I only answered the call because my cousin lives in Canada, is expecting a baby and I thought she had news.
