Caller ID said "International", calls kept coming in everyday, then twice a day, today I answered it and some guy with an Asian/Indian accent tells me he's calling from Microsoft and that my computer was spewing out viruses. He said he needed to fix my computer and needed me to go to a particular website and download the software that will allow him to access and repair my computer. He first wanted my SS# to verify who he was talking to. That wasn't going to happen.
I had gotten a few of these calls before and just told him I didn't have a computer and had no idea what he was talking about and they hung up abruptly. The calls stays the same, the number changes often.
This time I played along, as if I was really trying to go to the website he gave me. (I wasn't even at my computer). I kept telling him it was trying to sell me a vacuum cleaner, and that I didn't need a vacuum. He kept on repeating the correct address and every time I described some fake webpage as if I was too stupid to type the address correctly. Each time he tried, the more I gave him a hard time saying his accent was hard to understand and I had to guess at what he was saying, after 7 tries he started to get upset and and I kept telling him to speak slower and try and speak better English. When he finally started to really loose patience I told him if he really thought he had an idiot on the line he was sadly mistaken and that if his scumbag [***] spoke English he wouldn't be stuck in some [***] hole country scamming people who work a real job for a living. From that point on he just shouted something in his language and hung up. All in all I tied him up for almost 50 minutes in all. All in all it was well worth the 50 minutes of entertainment he provided.
They don't seem to know what number they called, because he kept telling me he needed the number in case we got disconnected, I never gave him any info. My guess is its a random robo call that turns to an operator when a call gets answered.
I swear I get at least two calls from these people a day! I try and block the number but they just call me from a different number. I've tried waiting on the to get a live person, but the call just ends! I'm so frustrated!
