I've been getting calls, heavy accent, from the same number, saying they're from "technical support". I knew it was a scam since even a contractor will identify the manufacturer they represent. Out of curiosity, I questioned him.
Q: Why are you calling?
A: About your operating system.
Q: What operating system? What version?
They gave me a wrong answer. I said I don't use that. THEY hung up.
Got a call about 230 today. Got in a argument right away with him he told me to cut my balls off and hang them from the porch. I asked what company he worked for he told me the FBI. LOL Hung up and tried to call back said number is not in sevice.
They call me all the time claiming they are with computer support. I said which computer are you calling about and what company do you work for. Always a heavy Indian accent, they then stammer and don't know what to say. The first time they called they said they were from Tech Support. I said, no your not - I didn't call you and there is nothing wrong with my computer. Next time they said my computer had a virus that was harmful, I told them that they were scammers and I was calling the FBI and tracing the call. They immediately hung up. Called 5 hours later - I didn't answer the phone. A total scam. They want to scare you so you give them access to your computer and they steal all your passwords and info. NEVER give anyone any information from an unsolicited call. Hang up and call block the number!!!
