I just got two calls from this number and answered the second time.. They asked for the owner of the household and I told them they weren't home (which they are not) and asked of they would like to leave a message. They told me " tell them to go f$ck themselves" and when I said "what did you say?!" They told me I am going to hell!
I received the phone call yesterday and let them control my computer , they said they were from Microsoft.
They messed up my computer when I told the that I would not Pay them $200.00. I am no longer able to use Internet Explorer
because of the damage to my computer. They said they were from Microsoft. but my sister inlaw called me and confirmed that it was a scam, for she got the same call.I now have to go shopping for a new computer. They spoke with a middle east accent.
Regards.

Insisted that I HAD to let him check my computer. When I told him that I didn't have a computer (I do), he said I had to have a laptop or something. Again, I said I didn't have a computer, he got rude and hung up. I am on the do not call list.
Tell them you run a MAC...they'll tell you they can work on those too. I've also told them that I'm a luddite and don't own a computer...they don't listen...they're pricks.
Got a call from the same Middle Eastern folks that claim to be from Windows Tech Support, telling me my computer is emitting a virus every time I go online. I listened to him, claiming that I was doing what he told me to, and finally asked him how many camels he's had sex with. This lead to a 5 minute discussion as to whether or not he's working for the Taliban, and how his wife sleeps with Mohammed and Achmed on a daily basis.
He finally hung up on me.
This isn't the first encounter I've had with these idiots. I've involved the local police, as well as the FBI in the past, but there's nothing they can really do. Someone buys phones here in the states, then ships them overseas to a boiler-room type of outfit that tries to get people to download a program that actually locks you out of your computer while they data mine it, then charge you money to unlock it for you.
