We have been getting a number of calls from India saying they from Microsoft and notice we have donloads on our computer that would be making it slower. They asked me to key in an address on computer and give them a code so they cld fix it ! I hung up ! Has anyone else been receiving such calls ?

Put down the phone and don't entertain them. I get those calls too. Give them no information

Don't do what they say otherwise you will probably end up downloading viruses without realising it and they will tie you in with a fix they will charge you for.

This has happened to my sister and she allowed them access to her laptop. Does anyone know what she should do now? Can she use the laptop and would it affect other users using the same broadband connection. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks,

GET HER TO CANCEL ALL DEBIT/CREDIT CARDS IMMEDIATELY. Take the laptop and get it totally WIPED clean..... They have all her information now if she allowed them access.....
NEVER allow anyone control of your laptop!!!!..... ITS A SCAM.....

You might read the article below and try contacting Microsoft to report this scam to them www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx

You'd need help from the telecoms provider of the mobile service to be able to track a ready to go phone. You can get a ready to go phone without giving details of where you live.

If you are buying the lawnmower ask to go to his house and if he is not happy with that then don't buy.
