Hello,


I downloaded Open Office on my Macbook Pro a couple years ago. I was on the phone with a 
tech support guy who helped me complete the download, then he had me download a program 
that was supposed to "clean up" my computer, and rid it of viruses etc. In the 
past year I've received 2-3 unlisted no caller ID calls from a man (seemingly from India 
or another foreign country to me) asking me about this download and telling me to call a 
toll free number. I'm concerned that I've been scammed, and have read a forum from 2011 
about possible credit card fraud using Apache Open Office's name. I would really 
appreciate it if someone could help me with this issue, as I am concerned about my 
privacy when using Open Office or even making online purchases.

Thank you,


Hannah

I don't know what you should do about your credit card. You should probably download a new copy of OpenOffice directly from http://www.openoffice.org/. You could ask here if you have problems installing it. You might want to consider having somebody local that you trust check your computer for viruses and other nasty stuff. And presumably you don't want to call any dubious toll-free numbers.
