Needing some advice, I had a phone call today from Hotmail claiming my hotmail account has been hacked & used in numerous locations. The caller wanted access to my computer to sort this out. I put the phone down at this point as I've been scammed this way before. Would this have been a genuine call & is there anything I should do about this ?

Thanks for any advice given

I would never give a telephone caller access to my computer.
I'm sure you did the right thing.
Scam. Change your password just in case.
Perhaps it would have been more accurate to say you had a phone call today from someone claiming to be from Hotmail.

How would they have your number if it really was them?
I had this sort of phone call last week.

Asked me to turn my p.c on as it had problems on it!
Told him I had no p.c. and slammed the phone down.
