Beware of the: Fake Microsoft Support Call
A security consultant played along with this scam and recorded the whole thing.
Here is his description.
http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-04/11/malwarebytes
An extract of what happened
The caller then went on to say that that Segura's software warranty had expired after three years and that she then asked him to have a look at the System Configuration Utility services tab. She explained that the reason that some of the services in that tab were marked with a "stopped" status was because a warranty had expired and only a Microsoft technician could start them again.
At this point a male "technician" takes over to get Segura to register for a warranty renewal that will cost "only" $299 (£195). It's a complete one off payment for the whole lifetime of the computer. An absolute bargain.
Segura is asked to download TeamViewer to allow a third party to control his computer. They then open up a browser and instruct Segura to enter in his personal information, including banking information and make a PayPal payment of $299. Segura purposefully enters in wrong banking details knowing it will be rejected.
At this point the scammer gets spiteful, takes control of Segura's computer and deletes all of the documents from his computer. The scammer then looks for more ways to corrupt the system, heading to device manager to delete the Ethernet adapter driver. Before deleting, he posts "bye asshole" (sic) in the TeamViewer chat log.
Segura asks the operator who was deleting the files on his computer, and why the technician called him an asshole. A male voice replies that the "technician is always correct. If he is saying that you are something then you must be. He cannot be wrong."
Segura is surprised that this scam -- which has been floating around since 2008 -- is still going on. "Many older people may fall for the trick." He hopes to educate more people about the scam and try and track down the people behind them.
