I just had a call from a non native English speaker saying that their company servers have detected a "virus" or something being sent from my computer to their servers. They asked me to type some instructions into my windows "run" line (event***). When I said I would not do that the man called me a "bloody mother f*****" and then promptly hung up.

The noise in the background sounded like a call center, plenty of activity.

Do not follow these instructions or fall for this ploy. I tried calling the number back that was on my caller id and it was disconnected.

It's a SCAM.
