Yep it's still happening, some guy with an indian accent, supposedly a Windows IT technician said my computer was sending error messages and it was very important that he talk me through how to remove the viruses. Asked for his number and company: this no. and Network Service Support based in California. Had to hang up in the end.
Is this call an attempt at computer fraud and phshing? They said my computer was sending error messages to the Windows server, and did I notice my computer was going slower, and then attempted to have me key in things. Being suspicious of a call coming in at 10:15 PM, I asked for his name, "Paul" and number and said I'd call back in the morning.
I got the exact same call from a very pushy guy and it seemed really sketchy to me. Don't know how he got my cell phone number in order to deal with this alleged computer problem. I finally hung up.
Got a call from the same number and had the very same experience. Very fishy. He said his name was Henry Parker although I'm sure in reality it was more like Raj Patel. Said they were Microsoft Windows - Techincal server department. They had a lot of info on me and my computer. Scary. Finally hung up but now that I've heard of the same scam, it just makes me more angry! Wish I could have tracked that guy down.........!
