Just got a call from this number. It was a woman, sounded Asian , very thick accent that I could only understand about every 4th word. Wanted me to turn on my computer and said my computer was downloading dangerous files. I told her Nope, not gonna turn it on, and I have a program that would let me know if anything was going on. She insisted it was not a virus, but dangerous files! I said I am not interested so take me off your calling list. She again insisted. I told her my electric was turned off and I couldn't turn on computer LOL she said , well when can I call back. I said I am not gonna buy anything so you may as well not call me again. NOW she got angry and said in a very clear voice that I understood every word, " I AM NOT SELLING ANYTHING SO HOW CAN YOU BUY?!! Then my husband picked up the extension and she hung up.
guy called 1 hr ago, wanted me to start my computer to check for problems. he sounded like a freaking robot with an african accent. I told him to get lost.
just called me and said he is working for microsoft and that he was notified by microsoft sys. that my computer is running dangerous files and disturbing the network! he needed accesses to my comp right away so that further damage can be avoided. He had a mexican accent ( dont know if that is relevant ).
after i told him thats funny but i have a MAC and dont use microsoft.
he said with a very disapointed voice ," oh, OK" and just hung up".
