This might not be new to some of you but hackers just tried to nail me in a new way. It was pretty funny too. Anyway this is what went down so keep an eye out. The jerks are getting more tricky.
I got a call from an "Unknown Number". A PHONE CALL saying in a heavy accent that she was support from Windows and that my computer was infected with a "vicious virus malware". Trying to keep a straight face I asked her "Oh no! What should I do?!" She said that I needed to go to my computer and delete some files. I then got pissed and asked her how did you get my number? She said my computer sent the info to Microsoft and she was Window support. I then asked her "Does this scam work a lot?" She got upset "This no scam. Why would we be trying to remove the malware?" I asked her then "What do I need to install." She said "We will get to that." I told her to get bent and hung up.
In retrospect I should have went along and acted like I was fapping to her voice
Lesson? Hacker jerk offs are now hiring people to convince you to install crap on your computer. Tell your less tech savvy friends about this because she sounded almost legit. Of course I could have destroyed her with questions but the average user won't do that. They will freak out and blindly follow. Just let your friends know this is a scam.
