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!"
Happy New Year, fraud fighters! These are idiots with thick (Indian?) accents who call about problems with Windows on your computer. while attempting to A) install bogus stuff to gain control of my computer and B) steal credit card numbers. I block them and laugh.
So sick of the same numbers calling my home, as soon as I mention being on the do not call list, they hang up. These people invade our homes via the telephone and just NEVER stop!
Got a call from 212-077-1263 they said they were located in Las Vegas (Indian accent) and they were calling about a virus in my computer. I asked them a million questions until the guy got really pissed at me. I said to him, how do you know that I have a PC and not an APPLE? If you know I have a problem you must know what kind of system I have, so tell me!
I knew it was a scam and I like to play with these guys and keep them on the line so they don't call other people. He finally said screw up, you're wasting my time and hung up.
A person with an Indian accent called me about 5:30 PM on Jan 2, 2014 and said his name (Don't remember it) and then said that he was from PCSPEEDY and he was calling to tell me that my PC had a problem with Windows. As soon as he said that I just hung up on him. I could not sleep the night after that because I had dreams of my computer crashing.
I got up early Jan 3rd and entered his phone number (1-212-077-1263) into Google and the first entry was this same scenario repeated over and over. Hopefully I will find a way to report this scam to some authority that can stop this type of fraud from spreading.
