They might also call on the telephone and claim to be from Microsoft. They might offer to help solve computer problems or sell a software license.

They might even guess what operating system you’re using. Once they’ve gained your trust, they might ask for your user name and password or ask you to go to a legitimate website to install software that will let them access your com- puter to fix it. Once you do this, your computer and your personal information are vul- nerable.
