The IRS has called me as well...ha, ha...I try my best to string them along (of course when I have time). They are such idiots. Once I get tired of stringing them along, I either tell them I am an accountant or that I too am recording the call. Sometimes when I think I've had too much "fun" the caller get quite abusive and makes horrible comments about my anatomy or my mom. Still it can be amusing knowing they are full of SH**
The guy called Roger Anderson (+1 206 237 0050) called me today saying he is from Microsoft and that my pc has been sending them error messages. At first i believed him until he said my pc took a long time to start up this morning. Lol My pc has been on for 3 days. He said I should type a certain code on my pc. Lol he sounded like he wanted to take over my pc so I looked at the phone and it had no caller ID so I said if you're from Microsoft your number would show. He then gave me the above numbers which I immediately googled. I see he'd called many people over a payday loan, others as a Microsoft engineer from Microsoft etc. I read everything to him and he hung up. Lol.
Keep getting calls from this number saying my computer has a virus. Asked him which computer ( Have 3 in my home).Told him to stop calling or I would call and put a complaint in about them.
I got the same scammers trying to elicit mmoney out of me. I had fun stringing them along for as long as possible and recorded the whole thing on my cell phone. I wonder if there has ever been legal action taken against these criminals. I know of 3 people who actually were conned by these shysters. If I know 3, there must me millions of people the world over being ripped off like this.
