they call me and they say that my license for my pc was hacked by someone eles they say we are going to fix it and atotal protection for liftime and thay wanted 450$ dollors and thay say now if you dont pay i am going to block yor pc when i told me that i just chut down my pc and i told them i am goin to call the cops and i hang up the phone.
Got contacted early in morning. Conversation pretty much like all above have described. Hope someone can do something about this. I can see where people can easily fall prey to this scam.
Good luck.
Called with the same SCAM. It was some Windows company claiming my computer was being hacked by several countries (strangely - North Korea was not mentioned).
I live in Halifax Nova Scotia.
Told them to call back - so I could research. When they did I told them Microsoft website told me they were a scam. He shot back with some crap. I told him to F off.
Great idea for everyone. Using my call screening function (provided by my service provider) I blocked all future calls fom this number. I BET EVERY TELEPHONE COMPANY OFFERS THE SAME FREE SERVICE.
Just had a call, maybe the same guy. I also hung up and he called back questioning why I hung up on him. Told him that if he calls again he would hear this and blew the Fox whistle I keep by the phone for crooks like this.
