RE: A Warning About Telephone Tech Support Scams And How They Tried To Target My Parents

Calls from The Windows Technical Department.. the Microsoft Operating system.

I mean has anyone ever since windows 3.1 received a call from The Windows operating system ?

I've had quite a few of these calls and they're really crap but I can see people getting sucked in. I even recorded one call where I spoke to a guy at length.

they'll tell you your computer is full of JUNK files and they'll ask you to perform a command which will basically show your temp store..

here's a useful link to an article from pcadvisor
