Just got a call from 213-333-3206 claiming the whole "your gonna crash your computer" "using microsoft windows" "sending error reports" stuff. Told him it sounded like a scam and ended the call. Looked up the number and well you know the rest if you are reading this.
This is a total scam originating in India.
It used a redirected call. Caller told me I have a virus on my Windows 7 os. I dont use windows. I asked to speak to a supervisor and called bs and got hung up on.
This guy just called me and said the same thing. I called him out instantly and he kept it up. Then when I hung up on him he called me back. He said "sorry sir, we were disconnected" I said "we were disconnected because I [***] hung up"
He wouldn't let it go tho, he was determined, i'll give him that.
Got a call at 5:30 p.m. from some dude who had such a bad accent that I laughed at him. Something about a computer and access and error messages. I know it's bogus because I don't use Windows products. When I asked for his company's name and main number he hung up. Definitely from a call center in India. Worth taking the call if only to laugh at their atrocious English and hilarious accents.
