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.
Got the call at 9:13pm. Female named "Sentia". Phone number she gave back was 209-727-2666. Sounds like a scam to me. Told her I needed her name and number so I could contact "authorities" but she gave it anyway, as if she didn't understand me. Just called the number back, and someone named "Ewan" from Tech Support (also with a foreign -Indian sounding accent) answered, so live number, but I hung up.
Call Display showed 52721812, same kind of call re my Windows sending in a message. East Indian accent? Asked for his number and he gave 209-727-2666.
Phishing!

have gotten a call from this number twice in 2 weeks....first time the person(Indian accent) they were calling on behalf of the "Government of Canada", the second the company was "windows support".
He had no problem giving me a call back number and a name "Mr.John"...I even told him I was running a Mac
