The Windows Support scam - friend hit, need answer fast!

That reminds me; I need to find a very small very loud whistle for my keychain, and practice my “connection fading out so you need to listen very very very closely” voice…

Not any more. Not on any machine with a UEFI BIOS, anyway.

My dad told them we didn’t have a computer.

I just got the email version of the scam, sent by “Microsoft account team”. No caps on the second two words, no Microsoft logo, and no return email address. Just some verbiage about how my account Cb*****@server has been compromised and I need to click on the link to get it straightened out. :rolleyes:

People really fall for this shit? Still, I should warn my older friend about it, I guess.

Yes, people fall for this shit. Especially if you’re only half paying attention.
