What I heard, is that these fake MS support impersonators try to get you to download their "patch" or software in the hope that you execute it on your system.

So this seems like a crude and straightforward tactic that can be seen from miles away and I would not worry too much about it.

Geo::Distance::XS(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Geo::Distance::XS(3pm)

NAME
Geo::Distance::XS - speed up Geo::Distance SYNOPSIS
use Geo::Distance::XS; my $geo = Geo::Distance->new; my $distance = $geo->distance(mile => $lon1, $lat1 => $lon2, $lat2); DESCRIPTION
The "Geo::Distance::XS" module provides faster C implementations of the distance calculations found in "Geo::Distance". See the documentation for that module for usage. NOTE: As of version 0.13, Geo::Distance automatically uses this module if it is installed. FORMULAS
In addition to the formulas offered in "Geo::Distance", this module implements the additional formulas: alt: Andoyer-Lambert-Thomas Formula This is faster than the Vincenty formula, but trades a bit of accuracy. PERFORMANCE
This distribution contains a benchmarking script which compares "Geo::Distance::XS" with "Geo::Distance" and "GIS::Distance::Fast".
