-Alright. Well, yesterday I was home alone and received a house phone call from an Indian guy named 'Fred Hall'. I knew it wasn't his real name, but I've been told that fake names are given to foreign advertisers by legit companies, so I ignored it. He told me to look up errors on event viewer, and I discovered that I had about 100, which caused me to believe this scam, as the evidence was there.
After a while, he directed me to bring up a window that contained my computer I.D. Stupidly, I gave it to him, and saw his cursor moving around on the screen. He then brought up notepad and typed the solutions and costs of what will 'fix' my computer. I have no idea why I fell for it, but the same guy has been ringing us, despite being yelled at by my dad, for about a day now.
I googled 'microsoft phone call', and it's a scam from India; they're not even from Microsoft. I didn't give him any credit card details, and I told him I wasn't interested, but what worries me is he probably still has the computer I.D. Is there a way to change this? What should I do?
