We’ve heard that a number of people that have received calls from people pretending to be from Microsoft alleging there is a problem with their computer that can be fixed for a fee. Microsoft do not make unsolicited phone calls to help you fix your computer.
If you receive an unsolicited call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft Technical Support, hang up. More advice from Microsoft here http://www.microsoft.com/protect/fraud/phishing/Msname.aspx

I was contacted last Thursday, caught unaware, I got to the stage of ‘oh, and it will cost you xhundred pounds via a paypal link’ before the alarm bells started ringing. How do these scammers get our nunbers? Be aware!
