I just got a call from this bozo on my cell while at work. He was getting impatient with me when I said I wasn't near my computer. He insisted I get to it so he could help my situation. With be the same heavy accent, hard to understand and claims he's from Microsoft windows. I asked to speak to his supervisor to confirm his identity & he got upset with me for not believing him. "Because of my accent I am liar?!" I said no, but the fact that my cell is not connected in any way to my desktop makes me suspicious! Then I hung up & called my daughter to give her the heads up.
Got a call from this number saying that he was from Windows tech support, VERY heavy Indian accent. He will tell you to download 1 of 2 programs so he can log into your computer (teamviwer or ammyy) I already use team viewer, so I had it downloaded. He told me it was corrupted (I know that it works, because I used it this morning) and had me download ammyy. He showed me files that were "infected" and told me that the prefetch folder was hackers tools. I looked it up while still on the phone with him, and he started to act as though the call was breaking up.
Be VERY cautious of this caller.
I just got a call from this guy as I was mid-video game match and he could hear explosions in the background from my speakers, and he continues to say how I have a virus affecting my motherboard, he told me to switch on my computer I said it was on and he said "Do you see your keyboard in front of you?" I hung up at that point, heavy indian accent, do not trust this guy he claimed to be from Microsoft (Guy above says Windows, same difference).
Sounds like the same scumbag that called me today. I hung up immediately. Who in their right mind would spend 10 seconds on an anonymous call from someone saying they were Windows Support??
