Out of the blue, I got a call from this phone# a few minutes ago. I don't normally pick up the unknown#, but I was expecting my doctor call. So I picked it up and this person hesitated to speak. So I said, hello! and asking him who he was. He didn't tell me who he was, but he went straight to "Windows virus problems". I knew right away, "SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!" Once, I don't use Windows and second, my relative has been scammed recently by this kind of people for troubleshoot of Windows virus, but what they want is "your $$$ money". He sounds like India speaking accent. Anyway, I asked for his name and the phone# to call back but he hung up.
I just got a call from this number, heard the call center redirect beep and then call center background noise. They did not say anything and neither did I. Next time I get a call from this number I will answer "hello, windows tech support center" and see what they do.
Just got a cal from 213-525-6885 and he said he was notified I have a virus on Windows- he was Eastern Indian and I could barely understand. He asked if I was in front of my computer and I asked how he got my number and he said "internet" I asked him what company and he hung up. SCAM SCAM SCAM
I guess when we complain to US companies that we do not appreciate Foreign Call Centers, the call centers lose their contracts, and so resort to scamming us for money. I like the suggestion of Answering, "Windows Tech Support" that NJMark came up with. Obviously the D.N.C. list does not work overseas. It barely works here.
