I just got off the phone with someone obviously in a call center with a thick Indian accent claiming to represent Microsoft/Windows Technical support. He claimed that I have some kind of issue with my internet gateway (?) and downloading malicious files. I could not get them to confirm that this is a legit support call via a callback number or anything else and when I asked for a supervisor he said they would have to call back. Years in an institutional computing environment have made me very suspicious of phishing and social engineering attempts. How do I tell if this is legit and I do have a problem?
