To whom it may concern at Microsoft.

 

Today I received a phone call from someone who claimed to be a technician from Microsoft.

 

He called me from 1(651)420-1786. He had me push the "windows" key next to the "Ctrl" key

 

 

and at the same time, push the "r" key. this brought up a window which he had me type in

 

 

"eventvwr" and push enter. this brought up a screen and he had me click on the "custom

 

 

views" folder and then the "administrative events" within that folder. this showed me some

 

 

error problems. then he had me close that window, and again he had me push the "windows" key

 

 

next to the "Ctrl" key and at the same time, push the "r" key. then he had me type in

 

 

"iexplore support.me" which brought up an internet window that wanted a 6 digit code. He

 

 

then wanted to provide me with that code, a code for a year would cost $100.00, and he

 

 

offered a code that would be good for 2 years or I could purchase a code good for life. I

 

 

did not trust him, so I am trying to send you this email to inform you about this.
