This caller claims to work for Microsoft technical support. He told me that I and lots of other people have a bad virus and IE has sent many error reports that IE has to close down (this has happened many time with my PC) and he told me other things that were happening to my PC that were true, I didn't tell him anything about the problems I'm having, HE TOLD ME so I asked a few questions from a past experience I had help with, so I let him into my PC he said it will take about an hour to repair all the problems and not to shut my PC down or it will never re-start again. SO I watched him do a few things and then he went to WESTERN UNION and started sending money transfer's of 199.00 and 200.00 (not my money)to a person named PATRICIA LETTS in the USA from AFGANASTAN + so I took some pictures of the 2 transfer's really quick and unplugged my PC, I waited a while, plugged PC in and on, he had turned off all my security, it took me a while to get security back on and did a lot of cleaning several times, PC seems ok for now,I got tracking numbers, I think I need to send this info to Microsoft and probably the police. I still get calls from that number but I wont be stupid twice.
