I have got a number of phone calls today asking if Microsoft is calling people about infected home computers. I have already covered this in depth for years and it is ALWAYS a scam. I have also seen today on Facebook a bunch of people asking if others are getting calls from the IRS and the Washoe County Sheriff’s office. It seems that these scammers choose an area code block and try and run every scam they got before hitting the next are code block on their lists.
So to be clear Microsoft will not call you about your computer. And the government and sheriffs office will not call saying they are coming to arrest you. (Why would they tip you off?)
My advice is still the same, hang up the phone. Do not talk to these people because they will save what you tell them and then use that information for a future attempt to con you or a family member.
Stay safe!
