Person with strong accent asked if he was talking with some name, not mine. I said it was a wrong number and then he wanted to talk with the person responsible for my computer. He said that he had been affected by some type of very serious problem, and implied he was calling from Microsoft. He asked me to turn on my computer, at which point I told him not to call again and hung up. I've received one more call that I did not answer.
THEY CALLED ME 8 TIME WITH IN 5 MINUTES. I WOULD NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFO AND THEY WOULD NOT LEVE ME ALONE!!! I HAVE A HUSBAND THAT WORKS FOR THE POST OFFICE AND THE POSTAL SERVICE DOES NOT WORK THIS WAY. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION
This number called federal agency. Woman with Indian accent said she wanted to sell me a demo from Dell case. I told her she could not call a federal agency with a sales call like that but she kept asking me if she could give me a demo of the Dell case. I put the phone down on the desk and let her talk to the air until the line was disconnected at her end.
Called and told me that I had a Microsoft Windows XP machine that had been trying to connect to a port on one of their servers for two weeks now. Started telling me that this could cause my machine to crash so I asked what port number I was supposedly hitting and that I'd run a network trace at my end to confirm.... they hung up at that point. Strong Indian accent and bloody awful English. Called the number back - it's disconnected, so presumably they are spoofing their caller id.
Got the same call today. Right out of the shoot I asked them if, "I had stupid written on my forehead?" A few stupid remarks and I told them, oops! I guess you could say I yelled. "GET THE [***] OFF MY PHONE. The good news...no more phone calls. Don't mess with a fraud investigator. My question is; if we know this; is the telephone company responsible? After all, the number is a "land line." Ever hear of "Implied Consent?" I think we should do a class action suit on the telephone company. ...and maybe drag in the attorney general in New Jersey. Took me 1 minute to locate these jerks! so...what's the problem? Any comments?
Sorry, didn't mean to swear. Thanks for cleaning up my message. Guess we have time to clean up our emails; let's give the jerks 24/7 to rob us blind, and God help us if we say it wrong??
