Received phone call from this guy with strong accent saying he was with Microsoft Tech Support. He asked for me by name and claimed my computer was sending info to Microsoft indicating dangerous files were being downloaded from the internet without my knowledge. He wanted me to go to my computer so he could help me identify the files and said he would provide software for me to remove them. I told him I wasn't at home and he said he would call back tomorrow at 10:00am. What bothers me most is how did this guy get my name and phone number to start with?
Got a call from this number (john rosewell) about 30 minutes ago. Did not answer but a man with a heavy indian accent left a message, only he didn't say anything about windows... he said he was calling from us bank and wanted to talk about (could barely understand him) medical opportunities?!?! He hung up after "opportunities". After reading all the posts here about computers, I'm wondering, did they change it up and the call about us bank was coincidental, or do they really have some info on us?
I just received a call from this number, an Indian accent guy, thus somebody let me know or give me a link on how to find this stupid Indian? with today's tech I know there is, I just wanted to find this guy if he is from New York, i will let him swallow his own balls!
They are in India. As such they are beyond the reach of either your fists, or US law. And there's a lot of them. India alone has about a billion people. You can imagine how many scam call centers there are.
