Did not answer this call. A few months ago, male with an accent had called about a problem with my computer & I almost fell for it. I am a Senior & not too computer literate with a new computer I set up myself. Figured I did something wrong. Anyway, it is a scam to get you to pay them like $500 to fix your computer. They have called since using different number. I cut them off by telling him what he wanted before he could tell me. He hung up. Now, I screen all calls.
More of the same...fix my computer crap. I tell them I am a retired FRAUD Investigator for the FBI (or whatever) and now I've got their location and number locked, I will contact their officials. 99% of the time I never hear from them again. Other times I play along with them and give them bogus C-Card #'s to keep them on the line while I push keys on the telephone so they hear the tone, tell them I've recorded everything & then I pull the Fraud thing on them. --- It's fun.....................
They called and said that they got an error from my computer. Middle eastern / indian accent. Weird thing is we hardly use the computer and my kids happened to be on it at the time of the call for literally the first time in months. It completely freaked me out.
I shut the computer off and got the kids our of the room.
In addition to the scam/fraud pretending to be Windows people, - the other part of the scam is they also hijack a real number but are actually calling from out of the country (from India). The number 213 922-7973 is Metro which is a legit company. These same Windows scammers who call to gain access to your computer - will then hijack another phone number.

I tried to scare them and then I got more calls.
