Have you heard of a new twist on the Phone scammers Saying they are from Windows Microsoft?

They are calling people saying they are wanting to give you a refund on your security contract that you have with Microsoft and they need your account number. I told them I didn’t have a contract and they continue saying that yes I did, that I could pull up my bill and there was a contract for security. And they want to transfer money into my banking account. Then I asked “Are you one of those telephone scammers from India?” Of course he says “no” but he hangs up quickly.

I'm glad he hung up. I have also read that if someone gets these guys really angry, they will call your local police department and report a meth lab in your house. The next thing you know, the police will be surrounding your house with guns drawn, ordering you to come out with your hands up.

@DrWatson I am sure the police are acquainted with that spoofing too. So I’ll come out and tell them they got a false call. They’ll smell chicken soup and listen to my birds talking and singing. Canaries can’t handle drug fumes, that right there would be something to consider.
