How can I inform Microsoft Security that there is a scam outfit representing themselves as Microsoft

[AWS]

How do I inform Microsoft, Inc., (MS) of a Security Issue?  This morning (02/09/2013), I received a land-line unsolicited phone call from a man w/ an (Asian) Indian accent, who informed me that

he was an MS employee.  He informed me, "MS" had learned that my computer had been running slowly of late & that he  would like to show me what I could do to speed it up (by correcting some MS software problem, he implied).  He asked me if I was @ my

computer.  I was not, so the man asked me to log in, which I did.  He then told me to activate the START button & start typing in the SEARCH box.  He said to first type "RUN," which I did.  He then told me to next type "ENTER."  At this point I insisted that

he tell me what I was expected to type after I typed ENTER.  I did not type ENTER in the SEARCH box after RUN.  He said somthing to the effect, "Never mind, I'm going to

show you what it is you need to know.  I insisted on him telling me what he was instructing me to type before I typed anything more, & he kept insisting that I just keep typing, as he was showing me something important.  There was some back-&-forth between

us before I told him that he was "Full of S__t!," & hung up on him.

 

Looks like phishing to me & that "Mr. MS Employee" was out to damage my computer so he could then make $$$$ by "selling" me something to fix the problem he caused.  It is well-known to telephone solicitors that I am a so-called "Senior Citizen."  I am, to

some degree, "computer literate," but I know many other Seniors, who are not.  I believe many Seniors would fall for this scam, &

MS would be blamed for all their troubles.  I think MS needs to know what is being done to ruin their good name!   How can I contact Microsoft to give them a "heads up"?

 

PS: I was at my home in Orlando, Florida when I received the "phone-phish."
