Unfortunately, different versions of the Microsoft scam has been going on for years, especially targeting older folks. I don't know how many times I had to freeze online banking accounts because people picked up the phone and believed that it was Microsoft on the other end telling them they needed access to their computer to fix some kind of virus or something along those lines. The worse part is these crooks get paid, too, sonetimes thousands.
