I was installing Microsoft office and an error message came up with a phone number to call. I called the number because I believe it was true and I was connected to a so-called Microsoft technician who said I needed to get assistance from a network gateway technician to fix my problem and install Microsoft and get rid of any third party intruders. After being on the phone for over 3 hours, they claimed to have fixed my computer and installed some type of software to keep me safe from third party intruders. Then I had to pay 249.99 by Tuesday. I had to send them a money order or cashiers check. I googled the business because I was curious about this because I really didn’t understand what they had done and saw this information about it being a scam. I will not be paying them as they are scammers! They need to be arrested for this. Please report these people!!!
