Good morning lizards!

My wife got a scam phone call yesterday on her cell phone from someone claiming they are from Microsoft and told her he was calling because she had a virus on her computer. She said she wasn’t home and he said he would call her on Saturday. The scary thing is he knew her name.

Meta Data!

It is a very common scam. They get some meta data on you, call you and tell you all about the computer you are on. Do a Google and you can read all about it. I got one last summer. I told them I was busy and call me back. I did a Google search, learned what they were up to and then I played along getting as much info about them as I could…then I told them I’d be contacting the Ohio Attorney General office and give them names, phone numbers, etc.

Never heard back again.
