Received call from 781-382-1923 (Massachusetts) with male caller of Indian/Arab accent; he said he was calling to help me resolve my debts. I said I'm not interested and hung up. Ten seconds later he calls again and asks why I hung up on him, he just wanted to help me with my debts!! I asked him why in the hell he calling me back, I'm not interested, I have your number and will be reporting you, because this is a scam. I hung up, he didn't call back.
They informed me that they were from Google and that I had a problem with my computer. I told them that the person they were looking for was inside and I was to lazy to go get them, but also that we didn't own a computer. I'm hoping that will stop the calls.
My mom answered and the person was posing as a Microsoft Windows IT and said that we had called for computer support and she told them that my computer was fine and that we never called (my boyfriend is a computer geek, he fixes everything). He then started asking questions about what make of computer we had, how many, the operating system and she had enough sense to hang up. My mom then called me at school and asked if I had called Microsoft and I told her no. They've called last night and I am expecting them to call again.
My wife got a call from the same number (781-382-1923)....Asian accent asking about credit debts...Just add him to your wireless carriers blocked calls list
Call center worker, "Andy Foster", claiming to work for Global Computer Maintenance Department. Called claiming that my computer had a number of viruses and they had got my number and name from the routing system... to anyone who knows anything about computers, this is complete nonsense.
I started talking to him in Hindi (most common language in India, where I knew he was based, judging on his accent), asking him where he got my number and why he was calling me... told him I worked on computers and build them... I know what my computer is up to all the time.
He was taken aback and essentially started attacking me...
We didn't even get to the fun part where he'd try and get me to compromise my system for him...
shucks.
