got a call led him on for 20 min then got tired and told him my computer said I had a virus and to push remove so I did and thanked him for his help then hung up.. LOL....
I received a similar call, the Indian gentleman claiming that he was with Microsoft support. Same story as the person above... traced my info to Mexico, it was sending multiple reports, tried to get met give my computer number. I also asked to speak with a supervisor (I could tell at this time it was spam), the same guy came on and tried to change voice. I then hung up. Wish I would have found this site sooner so I could have also called him out!
Got the same spiel this morning, after dozens of phone calls I never picked up. I must have been feeling the desire to yell at someone. At first I faked concern, like, "Oh wow, I have hackers on my computer? What can do you to fix this, would you like all my passwords?" And then he said something about "our hackers" I repeated that to him and let him know that it's nearly impossible that I would ever take someone seriously that calls me from an unknown number. Jerks. I called the number back and it was just a regular cell phone, no voicemail. Yep, seems legit.
Just received the same call. Some guy with a strong "Indian" accent saying he was from Microsoft and same story about my computer sending our thousands of error messages! Trying to 'match CSLID numbers??? I was Googling the scam as he talked. Told him I have his number and I'll call him if I need him! HANG UP - What a SCAM!!
Received a call from these guys yesterday stating they were calling from Microsoft and my computer had been sending them reports. I had talked to someone like this before so I told them I didn't have a computer and had some fun acting like I was distressed that they would be getting reports. He then called me a liar and after I asked him what his name was he replied with "Mark." If it was then I've never spoke to a Mark that had that thick of an Indian accent before (extremely hard to understand). My advice is to have fun with these guys and when they start getting really irritated hang up.
