Some guy with an Indian accent called, could not understand his name or company name asked me how I was and said my computer was infected. So I played along then I asked him the name of his company and he said, it's not my company then I said to him, yeah cause you are a scam artist and he hung up.
I live in New York City. I get these calls all the time. Today I just got one from this same number - 209-753-4588 - in Angels Camp, CA. A guy with an Indian accent said he was from the "Windows tech department" and had an "urgent" message about my computer (or that there was an urgent problem with it - some such thing). I told him I knew it was a scam, said to not ever call me again, and hung up.
Can we do anything about these kinds of calls? I'm on the Do Not Call list but still get this crap all the time. It's not the first time I've gotten a "tech support"/something's-wrong-with-your-computer call. And it irritates me to no end. Can we get a number like one this shut down? Obviously enough people are getting ridiculous calls from it. Who can I report this to, and how?
