The other day I had a call from a person that was claiming he was from microsoft and said that my pc had a virus/ errors and he said 2 install this program so they can have remote of my pc so they can count the errors so I did. They were on my on my pc for less then a min and then they wanted money at that point I knew that if was a scam and hanged up and then reformatted my pc should I be worried. Does anyone know what this scam is about?
