I’ve gotten a few calls from these guys. They are worse than the regular “Rachel from card member services” scammers because they call and ask for you by name. (I have no idea where they got that info.)

Its a well known scam, (see http://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx) where they basically tell you that your computer is sending them signals that there is a problem and then they direct you to the windows error log (which ALWAYS will show errors). They then either tell you to install software that gives them access to your computer or ask you for money (credit card #) to fix it.

Of course, I am on the Do Not Call Registry and have asked them not to call me again, however, they continue to call and have even cursed at me when I asked to be removed from their calling list.

The best bet is to not answer the calls if they call back, or just hang up as soon as you realize it’s them.

If you gave out any personal information, call you bank immediately and report your credit card compromised.

Good luck!
