popup on my computer saying it has been, "Locked up" and to call this #. I'm not falling for their scam. Also received a call to landline from a woman with a very thick middle East accent telling me the same thing..." Calling from Microsoft letting you know that all of yourpersonal info is spreading online". I waited for her to take a breath and I asked her, "Do y'all really think Americans are that stupid, and gonna fall for your scams!?" she hung up.
