This company keeps trying to reach me. Today was their lucky day. I let the woman go through her whole schtick. Told her no way I was going to let her mess with my computer because I had too much child pornagraphy to risk losing and I would take it to my own tech guy. She stopped talking and hung up on me. Next time I'll give the same line but ask her if she has any kids that need their pictures taken. Hahaha
Got a call from this number too. I used to do work for McGraw Hill; it's the only reason I answered the call. The woman was very insistent that people were having their computers hacked in my neighborhood so she needed to tell me what to do. I told her I was on the other line and hung up. What a joke! Glad I found this site.
I just got a call today from a guy with an Indian accent telling me that my computer is being hacked by hackers and I am going to be in big trouble with the government unless I take care of it today. I lied to him and told him I didnt have internet and hung up.
I had a call tonight from this number tonight telling me that I had illegal files on my computer, that I had to get rid of them and they could help. They called me sometime ago and I was suspicious then and still am, so no go. When I saw McGraw Hill on caller ID I thought it was someone selling something. Unless someone can prove what they're doing is illegal, guess they'll continue to see how many folks they can dupe! I'm surprised the McGraw Hill Company hasn't been able to do something about these people using their name.
Same story as all the above. They have been at this for a while. What I usually do is let him talk and talk and I act old and confused and keep asking question like i am listening and waste as much time of there time as possible and then eventually tell him "...but I have Apples". That ends it for a couple of weeks.
What I do not get is who is falling for this just enough for this crew to keep trying.
