Hi all,

Yes, I am in the same agreement with Julie.  I do not trust scammers at all.

I want to share one time.  I noticed that call did happen to with my 
parents.  My dad was very smart which he listened to the fake microsoft 
staff which my dad did hang up.  He told me that he doesn't believe it.

Be sure that you get the phone number from the caller id.  You can be able 
to track it down from where it is coming from.  You can notify to your state 
attorney general's office and also FTC too.

Respectful,

Scott Dollar

This is definitely a scam. Please do not talk to these people.
