I keep getting this call and they asked us where we lived my sister had answered it, she then got 3 questions 1. What's your name, she replied 2. How old are you? She replied again. Then question three 3. Where do you live? She didn't reply I hung up the phone and my family is now scared.
Why does "report it' or "reporting this" do absolutely nothing! I have listed a complaint with DoNotCall.Gov and my online privacy service and nothing works. I have finally blocked it, but as usual, the consumer is the one that is screwed. I have received this call three times now, twice to the cell and once to the landline, though this number 215-487-9212. I do not understand if it is known that the call is originating from Philadelphia, and I can pull up a map that indicates the possible location, that nothing is being done. They are now moving into the harassment level that USED to actually mean something ... you can look that up in an old phone book. And the best part is: I haven't owned a PC/Microsoft product since 1998.
The old there is something wrong with your computer trick along with the foreign accent. Now they are going to help you update your computer because the Microsoft updates failed. Really?
I just received the same Microsoft software scam phone call from the same number. I just read about the scam in my local newspaper. I told them that I had not called them. Then asked the guy with the accent if he was calling to get my serial number. He was silent. He then said he was calling to help me update software. I replied "really"! He then hung up on me. Scammers!
