A few days ago i received this email “Dear Internet User! Microsoft Company have donated £1, 500, 000 Pounds to you and your family as a benefit”. This has to be a scam but I just wanted to post it up because I’m sure somebody will get taken by this before it’s all said and done. So if you get an email from Microsoft company or anybody else claiming to donate millions on your behalf don’t respond otherwise you won’t hear the end of it! I’m advising you of this occurence, for you information and followup if you should choose. Last week, and again today, I received a call from 999-910-0103.
The called was an East Indian male, who was quite difficult to understand, purporting to be from Microsoft in New York. He advised me that my computer was sending messages to Microsoft, and that there were errors on the computer which could cause it to malfunction. He had me check a few places on the computer, and then told me to go to this web site, push the button in the centre of the screen, and that would let microsoft fix the problem. I asked him why I should do that on just his word alone, and and that he could be just trying to scam me.
Then I hung up. I did a search on the internet, and found that several people had received a similar call.
