A New Scam For Me

The phone rings, I answer:

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY CALL, YOUR MICROSOFT LICENSE HAS EXPIRED AND ALL THE SERVICES ON YOUR COMPUTER [forgotten], TO RENEW YOUR LICENSE PLEASE CALL 1-833- …

You can’t annoy an automated call, can you? Microsoft itself has a page talking about these scams here. Makes you wonder how many of their own tech support people get taken in by the scammers.

Be wary out there, smarter people than I have been taken in by these scams.
