A male with a thick Indian accent called from this number. Told me some mumbo-jumbo about viruses on my computer and he wanted me to sit at my computer so he could walk me through the problem and fix it over the phone. Obviously some type of scam. He hung up on me once I told him "ain't nobody got time for dat!"
Got two calls from these jerks in one day!! Sounded like the same guy but he used a different name the second time. He was obviously not comfortable with my computer savvy and my proficient grasp of the English language because he hung up on me with I told him in very specific terms what he was full of. I rather enjoyed it but that's just me.
Guy with Indian accent called and even mentioned my last name (which is a listed number), but called at a bad time so I didn't have time to toy with him. He mentioned an infection on my computer and said he was with 24/7 something company. He wanted me to go to my computer so he could help me. When I asked which of my 2 computers was infected, he said it didn't matter and I could do this on either of them. It was an obvious scam, since it really would matter which computer we used if it really was infected.
As an IT professional I would normally want to play along just to know more about how his scam is played so I can warn others. Since I didn't have time to play along, I asked him for a phone number to call him back and he just hung up on me.
Thanks for others who have taken the time to post their experience here, so others aren't scammed.
