发帖数: 11 | 1 This morning (Jun 23, Sat), I got an unsolicited phone call from somebody
named Mark Anderson from a company called "Data Security Internet" or
something like that. English sounds like accent from India (Mark Anderson is
not an Indian name). He claimed that I have spyware on my computer, which
is leaking my personal info all over the internet, and offered to help clean
it up. He asked me not to run my already installed spyware scanner, but to
exactly follow his instruction.
He somehow knew exactly my name and home phone number, and even my email
address. I asked his phone number, he refused to give it me on the phone but
promised to send it over by email (not received yet after an hour). He said
he had half an hour for each customer. It sounds suspicious (phone phishing
?) and I asked him to call back later today, and would like to do a bit
research to find out if he or his company can be trusted. However, I could
not find his company on the web...
Anybody has any insight on this incident to share? Thanks so much in advance!
