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 had two calls from this joker , sounded Indian, one my wife fielded and cut him off saying my husband isn't home. He called back two days later and I fielded the call. Man stated in very heavy acent that I he was from windows and I had downloaded a virus by accident and he woiuld guide me through its removal. Am I at my computer now?? I kept questioning him as to how my number was obtained, never got a response. Windows was mentioned over and over again, never Microsoft. This was obviously a scam. I kept him on the line for a good while with questions, trying to obtain more and more information as to the scam, both what he was trying to gain and how he was to scam me. He stuck to his script never giving me answers to my question but turning it back to me to get to my computer and how I was to follow his directions. Be careful, as this guy was about to take the uninformed or uninitiated.
We got a scam call from URPC CARE today. The woman spoke with a heavy (East Indian?) accent and I couldn't understand a fraction of what she was saying and passed the phone to my wife, who had to get her to spell out the company name. Couldn't understand what she said was her personal name. The woman told us our computer was showing error codes was told that someone had been downloading information from our computer, causing this error code, but that they could fix it for us. She said this problem is causing our computer to run slowly and will eventually cause it to crash. In reality, we have a new computer with no speed problems.
