Called me at 6:45am saying there was an emergency, we had a bad connection she had a foreign accent (Middle Eastern) then I heard computer and knew it was a scam, they have been calling for the past couple of weeks, I keep telling them I don't own a computer with microsoft on it.
Received the call - and was the same scam pitch - it is unfortunate how many people fall for this. I work for a company that offers Computer support all across the U.S. and customers have been calling in complaining about these calls. Sad thing is most are elderly and go along with the scam and even pay the asking price. Then midway through the service the customer catches on that it may be a scam and then they call us to have their PC checked for anything that appears suspicious. Just never expected myself to get a call from them. Best thing to do is #1 don't waste your time - #2 Just let them know that you know it is a scam and simply hang up.
Received the call but I didn't answer and they don't leave a message. When they do call and if I am lucky my hubbys home and they try the computer problem and he makes them look like total inept idiots. Which they probably are. And also when they called another time and told me about the problem I let them know I don't have a computer or other electronic stuff and they don't know how to act. It's great!
