It is a scam and our Dell Securities team is investigating. They are using our real phone number and masking their non-Dell phone numbers. We are collecting these complaints. Follow the instructions here to check your system and also to give DELL-Lorna M all the data we need to send on to our Securities team.
Once I brought up Event viewer, he told me to go to Custom View -> Administrative Events. He said what do you see? I said nothing ,even though it showed some 14k Warnings and errors. He said oh, your machine is clean then. I googled this and scaring a person showing Event Viewer errors is a well known scam.
