Oh, by the way. I live in the maritimes in Canada and this scam seems to be worldwide.

I got a call (ID: unknown caller) from Richard claiming to be with the "Windows Service Centre" today too, and I felt very sceptical about it.  I asked for a number to call and they gave me this one: (226) 777-0328.  Very pushy, he tells me they are getting error messages from my computer and they MUST get onto my PC to fix it or I may end up with corrupt or no data.  I said No, I don't think so.  

I've been using computers for too many years to mention, and have NEVER had a call FROM windows!!  BEWARE...

This is a scam! I couldn't see the phone number this person was calling from. I asked him where I could call him back and he gave me this number. He said his name was Ralph (with an Indian accent) from Ontario and that he was calling from the Windows Service Centre regarding a problem with my computer.I knew from the start that this was a scam. So I faked going on my computer and was asking for directions. He would ask to use my windows key + the letter R. Then type event vwr and click ok. I stopped there since I didn't want to do anything to compromise my computer.
