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.
Obvious scammer from the start. If you're not a computer pro then just tell them you know they're scamming and hang up. He has you get on the computer and pull up your event viewer which will show you failed computer operations numbering in the thousands. Explains how the computer has been corrupted and needs to be fixed lol. Tells you to use the Windows button+R to pull up the run command. Have you type in teamviewer.com. I wasn't willing to roleplay beyond that point cause it would involve the installation and activation of a remote host. He explained that they have alot of people to help and it's the quickest way to get my poor computer fixed. If I had finished my black computer that doesn't have access to my router settings I could have collected information about his IP and DNS he was coming from. One day they'll call the wrong person and they'll get played.
Got a call today from this guy. I think he claimed that his company was Quick Tech Support. He told me to get on my computer because I have error problems. I told him I have 3 computers and asked what one it is. He told me all of them. I asked him for his company phone and address and he hung up.
