Someone I thought was from HP tried to scam me by "helping " me with printer issues and charge me $200 for the fix and another $200 for web-based antivirus service. They sounded professional and helpful, but were only helping themselves. The next day, someone claiming to be from Microsoft called saying my computer was comprised-yet another scam. DON'T FALL FOR IT!
