Just got a call from "Jack". He kept saying he had to fix my computer. He wouldn't answer any of my questions. He said he was from California, he had a heavy accent (India). I asked him how he got my phone number, he repeated my phone number.
I hung up on him.
We have been getting these calls for some time now and I usually tell them, hang on a minute you need to talk to my husband, then I put down the phone and wait until they hang up. But today my husband was home, heard me say that and picked up the phone. I made him understand that it was a scam call and when he got it he strung the poor fellow out in talking with him for over 20 minutes. He was given the above number and a fake name. No interest to call him back, but great fun to play with the guy.
If you have the time challenge your imagination, go for it - but don't let them get close to your computer - not even remotely.
I got a call from this number and it was a man named "Alex" with an Indian accent. He tried to convince me there were all kind if problems on my computer having to deal with windows. I told him my brother has a masters in computer operations from a prestigious school and that he takes care of any issues I have. Alex told me he was a certified Microsoft technician and he knew more and only he could help me. I think there should be some type of legal action taken to stop these people. They are not from this country and this could be a form of terrorism! They are obviously doing this out of some type of hatred against Americans or else they'd be scamming their own people!
