Same as others, sometimes I mess with them and keep them busy as long as possible and others I just tell them I do not even have a computer, they are simply scam fools.
I just got this same call from a guy claiming to be from Microsoft...good thing I was smart enough to not give him any info...I asked him for his manager. He got mad, said something and hung up
I keep getting call from them everyday at the same time. However, I don't answer. I checked on here to find out. Thanks for the info. I definitely won't answer.
Guy calls after 10:00PM. Says he wants to talk about "windows". Told him to not call any more and hung up. He calls again immediately after and then 2 additional times within a 3 minute period. Subsequent calls went to voicemail. Calls stopped. Call again the next day several times as indicated on my phone caller history.
I'm on the Federal don't call list. Sure doesn't help.
I received a call from someone who said he's with Computer Center in Jersey City and they are receiving error message from my Windows Internet.
He was irate that I could not continue the conversation and will call back at 6:pm Est time.
I have no plans of giving him any information regarding my Windows or any other info he is asking about.
This guy called me this evening with the same story about being with microsoft and my computer sending error reports and wanting access to my computers to "fix" the problem. What's confusing is that just the day before I had to 'update' my media player and after I did that I got a message to "verify" my operating system, (I think it was that). It said in the message that I have to verify so they can be sure that I have a 'legal(?)' copy on my computer. I freaked and just clicked cancel instead of verify and closed down my computer. So it's weird that this guy calls the very next day. Since I have been getting all those various "Alert", "free groceries" calls, I just refused to talk to him and hung up. But I'm using a different computer because I'm afraid I may have gone to a fake site or something. Why can't they stop these people?
