Warning computer scam?

Hi:

I just got a very disturbing phone call. This guy who could barely speak English said he was from Microsoft and I had a very serious virus on my computer. I said-- I just had my computer to my tech last week and he checked it over and updated my antivirus. Oh this guy says your tech and your antivirus can't detect this virus. 1 red flag--You'll have to give me access to your computer so I can fix it says he and dozens of red flags went off and I hung up.

In the first place I was sceptical because I never heard of Microsoft calling people but give him access to my computer so he could get my banking info --no way. If someone calls saying they are from Microsoft hang up.

更新:

Kyle E they wouldn't need a checksum if you gave them access to your computer. Give them access and they run your computer remotely.

    Yea, whoever sets up this "prank" call is a total idiot. Microsoft would NEVER call to tell you about a virus, nor do they care about your computer. The only way I know a company could get any data/information from your computer is by running a checksum, which is used in Anti-hacking software. Again, microsoft doesn't care about your computer. You may want to report this to the police, since doing something like this is illegal.

    BTW: I belive microsoft runs a checksum on xbox's to see if they contain unauthorized hardware, if you were wondering who does that.

    Yeah you are spot on. They say this and then tell you they need $100 to fix it. It is a scam but it people really do fall for this.
