Steinbach RCMP are reminding the public that should you receive a telephone call from Microsoft System Security that you should not provide any personal information or act on any directions given by the caller.
Police say that by providing the information they request, you have an extremely high risk of losing control of your computer and thereby giving easy access to these individuals.
Microsoft System Security would not call anyone personally. Should you receive such a call you are to hang up on the caller and contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 to report the call.
