Got this call saying something about something is going on with my computer and ask if I was in front of my computer. Wait, can they see me? I was in front of my computer! But I said I'm sorry, I do not have a computer! He hung up on me. What is this all about?
Scam. Said they were from windows server as they were getting a message from my computer and needed me to go turn it on so they could fix it; that someone sent me a bad email. I did have some fun with him before I told him I'd call him back as soon as I verified his information.
They just called me and said they are from the Windows Technical Department and my computer is sending them error messages since weeks. They got really mad after I told them I don't own a windows computer. After calm and persistently interviewing the caller who had a strong Indian accent, they told me they are from IT Solution in Cleveland Ohio - Though it took him some time to google all the information. The caller asked me to tell my wife to shut up in the background (she was very quiet) and his voice became more and more shaky. After 5 minutes and him noticing that he didn't get anywhere, moreover he has to answer my questions rather than me answering his he said "Now you make me really mad!". I asked him why and he hung up. I guess I will not here from him anymore ;-). Nevertheless I went and blocked the number.
If they call again using another number I will put him on hold :-) and then check back after 5 minutes HAHAHAHA
I just had the same thing happen and the wanted to guide me through a process to check out the "error" messages that I have been getting. The man also told me that my windows was sending them messages for the past several weeks. I eventually hung up on them but not before I got a little more info from them. The try to get you to type in a web site that the want you run when it comes up. At this point I hung up and they tried to call me 6 times before they gave up. I kept asking him the whole time who he was and what was his company name and he said he was from somewhere in southern California but that phone number is in New York. When he called back I started seeing "Out of area" calls on my phone. The really do try but I am not stupid. If he tries to call again I will talk him in circles until he hangs up on me...lol
