Hi:

We just received the e-mail below. Two weird things:

1) We received a phone call yesterday from someone saying he is from Microsoft and wanted to access our Windows operating system for technical reasons

2) We don't run Windows on any computer. But we do run Office for Mac 2011.

Thanks for advice!
