Received a phone call, ID was +234567890
Guy said they received monitoring alerts that there was malware on my computer, wanted me to connect to some website. I asked him how he was getting alerts from my computer. He said it was from the monitoring software on my computer and he tried to allude to Microsoft. So I asked him what my computer's IP address was. He mumbled something trying to avoid the question by again stating that he was getting alerts that I have malware on my computer. I responded that if he was receiving alerts from my computer that he would have to have the IP address of my computer so I wanted to know which computer he was talking about. He then said 192.168.0.2 so I said bad guess you're on the wrong subnet. He hung up on me.
If someone calls and says you have malware, say thank you and hang up (unless you want to have some fun with them like I did). If you follow their instructions you will definitely end up with malware and they will own everything on your computer.
