How can I inform Microsoft Security that there is a scam outfit representing themselves as Microsoft

How do I inform Microsoft, Inc., (MS) of a Security Issue? This morning (02/09/2013), I received a land-line unsolicited phone call from a man w/ an (Asian) Indian accent, who informed me that

he was an MS employee. He informed me, "MS" had learned that my computer had been running slowly of late &amp that he would like to show me what I could do to speed it up (by correcting some MS software problem, he implied). He asked me if I was @ my

computer. I was not, so the man asked me to log in, which I did. He then told me to activate the START button &amp start typing in the SEARCH box. He said to first type "RUN," which I did. He then told me to next type "ENTER." At this point I insisted that

he tell me what I was expected to type after I typed ENTER. I did not type ENTER in the SEARCH box after RUN. He said somthing to the effect, "Never mind, I'm going to

show you what it is you need to know. I insisted on him telling me what he was instructing me to type before I typed anything more, &amp he kept insisting that I just keep typing, as he was showing me something important. There was some back-&amp-forth between

us before I told him that he was "Full of S__t!," &amp hung up on him.

Looks like phishing to me &amp that "Mr. MS Employee" was out to damage my computer so he could then make $$$$ by "selling" me something to fix the problem he caused. It is well-known to telephone solicitors that I am a so-called "Senior Citizen." I am, to

some degree, "computer literate," but I know many other Seniors, who are not. I believe many Seniors would fall for this scam, &amp

MS would be blamed for all their troubles. I think MS needs to know what is being done to ruin their good name! How can I contact Microsoft to give them a "heads up"?

PS: I was at my home in Orlando, Florida when I received the "phone-phish."
