Online PC Report. Said there was a problem with our computer and he needs to fix it. I couldn't understand half what he said. He kept trying to convince me we had to do something with our computer. Hung up on him.
Received a call from this number tonight. The man could barely speak English, but said that he was with Microsoft and there was a problem with my computer. I hung up on him.
what a scumbag - tried it on my wife, she told him to get stuffed. Obviously the telcos want the income from the scammers more than they want the goodwill of the bill-paying public
I just got one of these calls.....I told him I couldn't hear him well which was true....I think he said he was from an online service of some sort. Earlier I had a call from a different number, also a scam, but I wasn't home to answer it. A couple of times this week I got calls from the cardmember service offering to lower my interest rate.They hang up when I try to talk to them and I cannot make them stop. There must be a way, but does anyone know what it is.
Guy (with bad English) called claimed to be from Microsoft said they had received a message from my computer that it had viruses & spyware -
Called Microsoft -THIS IS A SCAM! DO NOT HELP THEM GAIN ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER!
