I could barely understand the man talking. He said my computer was sending out bad signals and he could walk me through how to repair the problem. He was extremely difficult to understand and every time I told him no he acted more desperate, he was yelling "No! Don't hang up! This is not a sales call! You have a security issue! I can correct your problem! Don't hang up!" I finally had to hang up on him.
Have received this call twice, today I answered. Man with Indian accent said "Hello Miss... I am calling from the computer emergency department and we know that your computer is under attack.."
I said "Ohhhh.., wow, that's weird because I do not own a computer!" (Semi true, I have only an iphone right now.)
He hung up on me.
I get at least two (yesterday I had five) calls a day from a "boiler room" from men that barely can speak English- usually An Indian accent. Sometimes we are bored and will give them answers they want to hear.. Like this computer scam. We pretended to do what they asked with a twist... They ask : "Go to your start" We said : "Start? I do not see a start, but the word Quit is there, I clicked Quit... Oh, Okay, the computer is off, now what next?" Then my Dad took another call and they asked something about "Go to your window prompt." He said "Ok, I went to my window fast." They said "What do you see?" My Dad said "Well, it's dark, it is 8pm now." The jerk was confused.. My Dad said "You told me to go to my window prompt- I am standing here, I do not see anything but moths." The guy then said "Stop wasting my time sir!!" My Dad said "Oh, that is not nice, I am trying to follow your instructions. Do not call me anymore then." The guy hung up.
Nothing works... We say "remove our name from your list!" It does not matter. I "hate" them.
Received a call from the number 210-737-8097. Did not answer. No message left. Caller ID does not identify caller. What accompanies the phone number as ID is V42613192900060. Do not know who they are. Do not care.
