As if Microsoft would waste time with one computer. Like really now. If you ever happen to get a call and be asked about your computer and that you have errors etc. you are HACKED!Close the internet, close the phone and FORMAT YOUR COMPUTER! I went along to get their ip address up to a point and the next day my computer crashed so I formatted either way. Now the thing is that the people on the phone were not well informed. First of all they didn't know Dreamspark. Secondly they didn't know that in windows 8 Microsoft Security Essentials is replaced by Windows Defender (epic fail!). So after talking with several technicians/charlatans for an hour or so they tried to convince me that
1.format wouldn't solve the problem (duuude format solves everything!)
2.There was nothing absolutely I could do
3.None antivirus would save me
4.My only option was to buy Microsoft security essentials from them cause Microsoft doesn't give it online (like hell I would!) (and it wouldn't work on Windows 8 even if they were legit)
5.Or send the pc to England to a certified technician (seriously now)
The highlight was when he said that I had a Trojan affecting my bios and then said it was affecting the OS.... Get your story straight or GTFO! The only word for them was NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBS
I did call the internet crime unit of the police but it seemed to me they could do nothing. I did sent them an email with the guys ip address (doubt they will use it) and a video of my screen during the call.
So if someone actually reads this and ends up getting a phone-call from someone from "Microsoft" curse the guy in any language you can think of, close the phone and format. It wouldn't hurt to contact the police if you happen to get the ip or the name of the caller.
