Scammers Pose as Microsoft Technicians To Plant Malware

Scammers are now posing as Microsoft tech support to get you to install malware. The scumbag scammers are actually using Indian accents to add authenticity to the scam.

The computer owner is directed to a website and told to download a program that hands over remote control of the computer, and the caller "installs" various "fixes" for the problem. And then it's time to pay a fee: £185 for a "subscription" to the "preventative service".
