This sounds like the same guy who called me "a stupid STUPID lady". I get calls like this two or three times a week. This time I told him I would ask my "IT guy" who just "happened to be here". Then I put him on hold for 45 minutes. I am on a no call list but it doesn't seem to help with these scammers.
Recieved a call from this number and they just left a message that said hello? So I googled it and found out LOTS of people have gotten calls that were NOT legit. BEWARE!
Good for you Kaylee! You wasted his time and probably cost him a couple of commissions. Too bad we can't all pre-ident this type of call coming in and do the same.
As you all says, it's fake!
I'm a IT Pro, and have for the last 31 years been working with computers. Nobody should call me and says that my computer(s) is uploading files and folders to the net, when I know my 2 firewalls, Anti-virus wall, malware-wall at home does the job. Even if the kids should be shurfing on som sites thru there smartphones, I still have the control of what they surf/download.
I got the same 'your computer has hidden virus' call. I said I wasn't at my computer and was busy. He called back. Said his name was Alex Martin. He needed to fix my computer or it destroy itself. He gave me his phone number to call back when I was at my computer 201-285-5344 in New Jersey. I called this 201 number and got a message no one was answering. They a guy saying his name was James Wilson called back saying I called their outside 201 windows number, what did I need. I told him he sounded exactly like Alex who had called earlier. He said he'd transfer me to Alex. Same voice came on the line and told him you can't help me. Stop calling. I filed a complaint with FTC.
