Tech Support Scam Call Claiming My AVG Was Incompatible

This company called me and pretended they were from Microsoft Main Server, certified technician, and then told me they knew the ID on my computer. I was very suspicious and asked this lady, Jennifer Smith, over and over how I could be sure she was not a hacker.

How I could tell something was not to be trusted: she showed me that my AVG was not "compatible" with my system. This is nonsense, because when I went into AVG I was perfectly capable of choosing the right system in the AVG software to make it compatible with my computer.

She wrote a few things in WordPad on my computer, and when I wanted to print that out, she panicked and closed the file. This was a big red flag to me. Then a man started to "threaten" me that if I wanted to print that out, I would not receive an email invoice. That is when it was totally clear to me that this was a total scam, so I did not sign up for their service.

There were a few things wrong with my computer and they may have caused it. I am not sure. So I called a different company and they fixed it for me.
