CTV has carried a story in calgary about this one.  They are trying to get control of your computer and claiming that you contacted them for technical help.  it is a scam.  Go to CTV CAlgary and link to consumer rereports  (I donlt have it handy)  and they tell you all about these shysters.  simply ask them where they got this information and tell them you do not have a computer.  I told them they had reached the Microsoft help desk and how could i assis them.  the guy must have filled his pants!

Here is the story about the computer scam artistshttp://calgary.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNew ... hub=CalgaryHome

They call and tell you your computer has been sending out spam emails. I assume this is a lead in to harvesting your email address or selling you a software package. I simply called him on his bu***hit about getting my number through my IP and I was disconnected.

put (403) 686-4456 on your "do not call" list forever  Thanks

My wife received one call where the person claimed to be from Microsoft, but failed to give his name.
