Complete Question: Laura picks up her phone one evening to find that the Microsoft help desk was calling. She had been having trouble with a slow running computer but hadn't yet contacted Microsoft to get help for the problem. She was so pleased to hear that they found her IP address online and found malware on her computer and they were calling all of their clients to remove it. Laura has previously been a victim of a phishing scheme so she was prepared not to give any information to the help desk just incase they weren't legitimate but they didn't ask for her credit card information or Social security number. She figured they were going to help.
