I just had the same call come through. The guy had a heavy middle eastern accent. He said he was from Geek Squad, I about choked up my Cheerios because when I questioned him again he said, "Ya know, da Geek Squad"...I've talked to Geek Squad plenty of other times and immediately recognized that this is not a Geek Squad rep. So I told the guy, "Huh, I've never talked to a Geek Squad rep that sounds like this," ...and I hung up on him.
Caller said that he was from Microsoft support and that he had detected a problem from my computer. Caller ID said call originated from District of Columbia. Caller had heavy accent. Before he could continue, the call was cut off. Major league dirt bag scammer.
I just received the same call about a problem with my computer at 11:58 AM. I played along with with this idiot until 12:15 PM. He asked me if I was next to my computer, I said yes (but I was not...I was watching TV). He then said to go to the search bar and type in these letters...he gave me one letter at a time... A as in apple, E as in elephant etc,. I deliberately kept making mistakes and had him repeat the instructions about 6 times. What he wanted me to type was www.aeroadmin.com. Every time he said type www., I typed the word wwwdot. He kept saying No, not dot, the symbol for dot. I had to keep from laughing at this jerk. He then said the entire word....aeroadmin...but with his Indian accent it sounded like arrow. So I kept repeating arrowadmin until this nutjob finally gave up and after 17 minutes, the call finally went dead.
