I received a phone call from someone saying that my PC was reporting a virus.  And that he needed me to check it out.  He had a very heavy accent and wanted me to type the “eventvwr” command into the PC to check it for viruses.  Instead, I typed “eventvwr” into my search engine.  It yielded that this was indeed a scam.

The scammers will try to talk you into giving them money to clean your PC of viruses that never existed.  When I pointed out to the callers that he was trying to scam me, the caller hung up.
