Yes.......this is my second call trying to tell me they were from "Microsoft" and my PC was infected with a virus. Very Heavy Indian accent. For gods sake, I work for Johnson Controls a major company building PLC control systems. I keep my PC well protected. There is NO way Microsoft calls up individuals about things like this to start with and only a very naïve person would think of giving a stranger access to their PC. Why don't they just ask for all my credit card and banking account numbers or something??? God what Idiots in this world.
Caller had very poor english in his voice. He stated he was with the U.S. Federal Government Grants Foundation. I told him that I did not wish any solicitations whatsoever. He began to argue and then I hung up. Be it known that portraying oneself as a US Federal representative is a Class One offense in the United States.
just teceived a call 5 min ago. (Indian voice) said my computer is not responding to updates. I acted amazed how she could tell from there. She then asked me to turn it on so it could be updated. I said it was on and running Linux. And then I asked her to hold the line while I traced her call to validate her existence. <*click>
