Very rude guy with strong Indian accent says he's with technical support with Microsoft and that my computer is sending him messages that there a problem with my computer , I know this is a scammer and the more questions I ask the louder and ruder he gets, he's lucky that I didn't use my air horn ,,,
CID: Carberry MB. I knew this was probably a scam but answered to collect intel. The male voice was obviously Paskitani or Indian but he gave a American-style name. He said he was with Microsoft Security calling from "New York Brooklyn City" even though cid was Manitoba CA. He said my computer was sending them alert about a problem and he would help me fix it. I asked him what I need to do and he said he would talk me through. I asked him to call back later and he reluctantly agreed but didn't even know what time zone I am in. I believe I have talked to him before and he got very, very testy when I accused him of fraud.
Hi too was scammed by them. The introduced themselves as Microsoft Support. I do have an account with Microsoft Support.
Noticed their pushiness for me to purchase what they said was a Microsoft Security system. When they started sending messages via notepad, I noticed how terrible their English was written. Do not let these people in your computer!!! They really come across as legitimate, but they are NOT!!!
Just GOT one of those calls from this number is said 'Manitoba CA' on the phone. He said we are with Microsoft and are you the primary user of your PC because we have been notified it has been compromised. I told him I teach technology so I know this is a scam! And my dog just died (which it had) so I'm crying and you can go F yourself! I hung up. This Iranian sounding guy CALLED ME RIGHT BACK and said Your dog died because you are no lady and you use that word! Then he used the F word in a way I couldn't understand. His English was that bad. I wish I could have reached through the phone and grabbed his filthy throat!
Some very foreign sounding gentleman called, said he was from Microsoft and he needed to "fix my computer". Told him he was too late because my computer had died last week!! He hung up. My caller ID indicated Carberry, MB. Definitely a scam!!
