Microsoft phone call

I cannot believe this scam is still a thing!!
' im calling you from microsoft because your computer has been seriously compromised but a security breech"
I let him go on for a bit. 'I need you to log into your computer so we can fix this'
Me..'which computer...we have 5'
'The one you usually use. It doesnt really matter because they all have the same IP address and will all be affected can you sign into your computer now m'am.'

So i hung up. He rang straight back...'why did you hang up on me, this is seriously important, you must let me help you'

Ah.. feck off!!!!! Lol🤣😂
Must have had this call a hundred times over the last 20 years!!!!

It never ends.
There's a whole industry out there.
Those who call you with the scenario mentioned above are the least threatening.
Real cyber criminals go after trade secrets, patents, ideas stored in your PC. You'll never know they were there. When they want money they go after large institutions.
To protect yourself don't check email, text, chat, do leisure browsing on the phone or computer that holds your important information.
