Claimed to be with Microsoft & wanted to know about the errors on our computer. He already knew our address which is scary because we never called Microsoft for any help & Microsoft doesn't work that way anyways. This has to be some kind of scam!!! I reported them to my state's Attorney General's office!
just had same thing happen to me. Foreign accent guy called me by name, knew my address. said "they" where receiving many error messages from my computer. Said because I used a Windows based computer, my computer was sending 'error' messages to them and he could SHOW me the errors. Wanted me to give him my IP address out of my computer. When I called his bluff... I don't use Windows... He got mad and hung up! People need to know... BE careful!
I received a call on my cell phone at 11:29 am on Saturday May 26, 202. The man sounded like he was from out of the country and got upset with me because I had difficulty understanding him. He claimed he was trying to help me to fix my internet problem on my computer. I said I am not home right now and I do not have an internet problem. How do you know this and he said he just did. I told him that I was in traffic and could not talk, goodbye and hung up.
have received numerouse calls, don't answer and they don't leave a message. I call the number back and get a fast busy signal......wish I could block them...
