Microsoft Corp. has successfully called in the help of U.K. police to stop an e-mail scam that urges users to call a special number to get help securing Windows.
The number, which actually connected the caller to a real Microsoft number but charged a bit more, was disconnected Thursday around noon U.K. time.
A Microsoft spokesman confirmed the Redmond, Washington, company is "working with U.K. law enforcement to investigate the e-mail scam."
