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 have received two calls from these clowns lately. Their scam is so laughably obvious that I can't believe they can deliver their pitch without laughing. Of course, I have sixteen years of experience in the field of Information Technology, so I was able to cut right through their nonsense with laser-like acuity. Anyone with less astute powers of computer knowledge could easily be sucked in by the masterfully-brilliant line: "Your computer has been sending us error messages. We know this because we are a technical department."
Received a phone call this morning from that number. Male in heavy Indian accent said they were receiving high server volume and error from my computer. I could barely hear him because there was a lot of background noise. I told him you have the wrong number and he asked if is was Ms. (my last name) and I said yes. He said that my Windows 7 operating system was sending error reports, I then told him that's not possible because I don't have a windows computer. (Linux & Apple). He tried to disagree so I hung up.
Received a call from this number just now as well (February 4, 2012, 11:15 AM). Same thing...gy with Indian accent saying there was an emergency with my computer. I hung up.
Just got a phone call from the same number. I let them go on describing my " Computer Problems" after a few minutes I told them, I work at the local Police Station in the fraud department and am quite aware of their scam. They hung up immediately.
