IT is what you think it is, people keep forgetting a nice voice does not mean a wise choice

Re:

Thanks for letting me know what my suspicions were. I, too, thought of calling the company. Tell Wiley I appreciate him beating me to it!!

Got the same call. It is a scam for sure. You did well to hang up on him. I asked him if his soul was saved, and he hung up on me.

It does sound like a scam.

It is definitely a scam....Wiley got this too and being himself he rang Microsoft and they said to him they NEVER ring and tell you there is a problem with your computer and that they will fix it with you. They put a problem into your computer while you trust them and then want to charge you to remove it.

They are not microsoft...Wiley did report them...Tell them that from Canada you do only ever speak to Wiley and Kabu. LOL...that will teach 'em!!
