    Reporting Scam received [​IMG]

    Received the following scam. Just want to make others aware The Voice warning kept staying if you shutdown your computer hackers will have access to your information. They had me type something in the run window, then asked me to put in my name and they would provide me with a product key. I told them I was unable to do that & disconnected. Every time I tried to get back on my phone they were still on the phone even though I kept hanging up. They kept calling me back to back approx 6 times trying to get me to pick up too finish what I had started. So I shutdown my computer. Then turned it back on, disconnected the Internet by turning off the Wi-Fi and my modem & router, cleared my history, cache and other settings, shutdown my computer again, waited 10 sec, then turned my computer back on. I also change my password to get into my computer.

    Do you think there is anything further I need to do?

    :)

    How and to whom I report scams on my computers?

    You should report all scams to the local police. They can advise you of the next step to take.
