You may be one of those people who gotten a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft Tech Support, that claim you have a problem with your computer and want to fix it, and trick you into paying to remove malware on your computer that you may not have.
Rest easy, the United States Federal Trade Commission have teamed up with international law enforcement and the tech companies like Microsoft that have been affected reputation-wise, in snuffing out the scammers. Most of them were operating in India, the U.S, and a few other nations, and are targeting consumers in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Ireland, and a few others.
If you still getting calls like these, just hang up.
A video here about the scam, and the conversation between the scammer and a FTC investigator:
