Indian boiler room operation telling me my computer is infected and sending bad information onto the internet. They asked me to verify that my CLSID was the same as what they were showing at their end. I strung them along for about ten minutes never once even turning on my computer. Basically they ask you run CMD then ASSOC and verify the CLSID number they provide. With the poor English and all the background noise it's easy to get them to repeat the number over and over and then mention maybe it's another computer in the house they are looking for. Rinse repeat as necessary.
got robocall from 210-000-0000 caller ID said "TEXAS" on Friday 11-15-13 @ 426 PM.
Obviously a FORGED number.
===> WARNING this call was a very serious attempt to "HIJACK" my computer. <===
A guy named Chris with a super heavy Pakistani or Indian accent said he was from the Windows Technical Center and was calling to let me know they were receiving messages from my computer that I had some corrupted files. Played along with this guy for about 4 minutes answering his questions and asking him questions in return.
He got to a point where he gave me "my licensing ID number for my computer" and told me to right it down. Which I did and it was a 12 digit alpha numeric number. He then wanted me to look at my key board and asked me if I saw the "flag" next to
the Control (Ctrl) button. I told him "yes, there was some white logo there". He then instructed me to push the "flag" and another button
[ DO NOT DO IT ].
I told him I had to put the phone down to do it AND instead I started at maximum volume my "Raunchy Cussing/Swearing YouTube Rant." The guy stayed on the phone for like roughly 2 1/2 minutes listening to the "Rant" while I periodically went back and told him that he had given me that "Virus". After a total of around 8 minutes he was gone.
WARNING = DO NOT DO ALLOW YOUR COMPUTER TO BE HIJACKED.
This # is unavailable for blocking. I tried. Looking the up on Reverse Phone Lookup, there are five women's names listed: Emet G. Ozuna, Pamela M. Hernandez, Mary H. Reyes, Pamela Bender, and Michele K. Faz. The number location seems to be San Antonio, TX. I tried finding their numbers and yes, three of them also have this number plus a private phone number. The last two names only had the 1-210-000-0000 number.
I suggest reporting these people to your unwanted call list or state attorney general.
got another robocall from 210-000-0000 caller ID said "TEXAS" on Saturday 11-16-13 @ 201 PM.
I don't thing it is coincidence either that this call number always follows this number 801-821-7480 (caller ID said "WIRELESS CALLER) later that same day.
pressed 1 and the call message said "goodbye".
Guess they did not like the cussing/swearing rant they heard the previous day.
Too Bad.
