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.
I just had a call from this number 213-333-3206 MGL BPO, woke me up as I work nights as sheriff dispatch. The guy on the phone spoke with heavy Punjabi (accent from a region in India). Right away I asked him in Doabi ( our native language ) what is he selling and that my husband whos an IT consultant maintains all the computers in the house. Then he just hung up without letting me finish my words. The nerve!
If you have caller ID, save this number as evidence and call FTC if you want to pursue a complaint.
Male caller had heavy Indian accent. Said he was calling from Windows Repair Service, and that they'd been getting error messages from my computer for several days. When I asked him to identify which computer, he hung up. Tried to call back, but the number doesn't go through. Reported to my local police dept. and the national do-not-call registry.
Same thing as all the others. A call from India telling me I had errors on my Windows Lap top and they are here to help me. When I told them I had a Mac desktop he said he must have dialed the wrong number. Watch out for these scammers.
Same thing here. Got a call and in bad English he told me they had been getting error messages from my computer for two weeks and that these were serious problems. The funniest part was he told me his about five times and kept asking if I got what he was saying. He wanted me to go to my computer and got all annoyed with me when I said I couldn't do that right now. He asked me why and I said I didn't have a computer with a windows opperating system. He insisted I did. When I asked for a number to call him back later when I had time he hung up. The only thing that had me concerned was his insistance that we had a windows computer. I have a Mac, but my husband uses his work laptop from home sometimes. Hopefully a harmless call, but I'm really curious as to what they are up to. Sounds like they could really cause some trouble!!
