Fake tech support

Got a call from a client and they got a call from "Microsoft Tech Support" indicating that their computer was hijacked.  He did the right thing and called me and I told him to hang up because it's a scam.  The tech support guy gave him a telephone number and everything and dared him to call it to check for validity. It's real easy to forward numbers so that's not a good check. 

Microsoft will NEVER call you because your computer got hijacked. They don't care and if they did, they would be bankrupt with all the viruses and spyware running rampant on all the windows machines throughout the years.  

So be smart and do not fall for their tricks.  They just want you to pay for stuff and hand over your credit card information.   Be careful on the Internet.
