Received a call from someone with a very thick Indian accent claiming he was calling from Windows about my computer (should have at least been smart enough to say Microsoft). He said my computer was "putting errors on the world web and must be fixed immediately". I told him I was not stupid enough to fall for his scam and asked for the company name. He said he was calling from the Scam Department. I asked if he said he was calling from the Scam Department and he replied "yes, and I will F#&@ your computer up if you do not comply". I just said "whatever" and hung up.
The caller asked that I boot up my computer so that they could login to secure it from the IE security breach. There was a lot of noise in the background on the call. The caller had a foreign accent. MS does not call individuals. Microsoft would push an upgrade. Never allow anyone to get access to your systems on a COLD call.
Someone from (856)847-6666 called our home at 6:30 AM!!! We did not answer because WE WERE SLEEPING! Caller did not leave a message on our answering machine.... not a friend or family member's number.... can only assume it was some dumb a** telemarketer! Since when did it become acceptable to call ANYONE at 6:30 AM?!!!!
