We have received a few too many calls recently from unfortunate customers who have fallen victim to scammers who claim to be working for Microsoft, one of the major banks, or local utility companies.
To make this clear before we go on, Microsoft, Apple, your bank or utility company will never call you asking for personal details or payment card information without solicitation. In the case of the Microsoft scammers, Microsoft employees will never call you out of the blue and offer to fix your computer. If this happens, simply hang up the phone.
