Phone scam

I usually only put scams I receive via email, but this one is worth noting.

Someone called me and said that my computer was sending error messages. I asked him to identify himself and he said he was from Microsoft.

Not being an idiot I immediately recognized that this was a scam. I frustrated the guy thoroughly and hung up the phone.

Then I went to the Microsoft site and found that other people have reported the same scam. I also found it stated that Microsoft will never call unsolicited, so anyone claiming to be from Microsoft isn't telling the truth.

Beware!
