Hi! I need some help regarding a phone scam i received about 3 days ago. A man with an accent of Indian nationality called and identified himself as a windows employee and told me that my computer is at risk of crashing because it is highly infected. Although hesitant, i went on with his instructions and i was fooled to such extent that i gave him a number and he was able to remotely access my computer and showed me those red warning signs in the event viewer. I didn't fall on his scheme of me buying that $299 worth of computer firewall, tune up and something else. To make the story short, he hung up as soon as I told him i'm not buying and tried to ask for his number. what im worried about is what are the risk for me since he was able to access my computer remotely and i'm worried about that number that he got, i have no idea what number i gave him. I did re-install my OS, just like their advise over the internet but i'm still worried. Please help me on what I can do to prevent them or any other scammers in acessing my computer. thanks a million!
