    A man called today and said he was with Windows Support. Said I was running an outdated version of Windows. Wanted to "upgrade" my computer. Said it would cost me nothing and windows would maintain my Windows plus four more for as long as I owned the machine. Would not quote a price. When I refused he threatened legal action. Has this happened to any one else? I believe it was a scam.
