This number has called several times. Sometimes there is silence and sometimes they want access to my computer saying they are calling from Microsoft windows. Scam for sure.
This morning my hotmail accont was about to get hacked into and I wouldve it without the warning so I changed the password,etc.etc. Now a few min. later, I recieved the call which I hung up, looked on this web-site and IM SURE it's the same people who are trying to get into my hotmail account.They sunk very LOW!!!!!!!!
Carlo, I don't exactly understand how you knew that they were trying to hack into your hotmail account. I admit I am not real tech savvy so what warning prompted you to change password and how did you know? Thanks for any info you might provide.
Carlo and everyone else. Unfortunately, what a good percentage of the population doesn't realize that Microsoft and/or WIindows "DO NOT MANUFACTURE" computers. Microsoft manufactures Windows which is an operating system that computer manufacturers buy to install on the computers they sell. So when these idiots call and say that are from "Windows Computers" - I want to laugh my head off there is no such animal. I would say that legitimate businesses will contact you via email or snailmail, but alas, I've also received scam emails from PayPal, Bank of America (I do have an account there), eBay, etc. Besides the English in their emails being atrocious, they never address you by name but Dear Customer - Big Red Flag right there. Even if the emails seem legit, I never click on the links or call the numbers they provide. I call the numbers on the back of my cards. What my husband does is say hello and then "can you hold for a minute". He puts the phone down, walks away and comes back 10 min. later. Of course, the idiots are gone by then. My unsuspecting sister-in-law almost got snagged by someone calling from "Windows Computers". She actually gave him her card number, but when he insisted that she go to Walmart and wire money or take out cash, it finally dawned on her that it was a scam. She immediately called the bank and canceled her card and checking account. It was scary to say the least. She did tell me that he didn't stop calling for days - every hour or so. I told her that he figured he had a "live one" so he didn't want to give up. Gotta be so careful out there. I'll get off my detergent box now - thanks for listening.
