Man in very broken English (mid-East accent) said he was from Windows technical support and that my computer was sending them warning messages that my IP address had been hijacked and for me to go turn my computer on right now & he would show me. I told him I couldn't get to it and he sounded surprised & said "why". Told him it was all disconnected b/c I was moving it to a new address. Sounds like a scam to me so they could hijack my IP address. Hung up on him.
Got a call today (a Sunday), purportedly from this number. A woman with a pronounced foreign accent who was obviously reading from a script was on the other end. I too got the line about how "they" (can't remember who, supposedly) had gotten warning signs about my computer, etc., and that she could help me fix it. I finally remembered having read something about this particular scam and said, "You're a scam" and hung up. (Should have asked her whether my supposedly problematic computer had also given her my phone number.)
I got this call just a few minutes ago. A man with a heavy accent and limited English said something about Windows. I said, "What?" He then replied, "I am calling about your computer." Before he said any more, I told him, "No, you're not." I hung up.
I wouldn't have answered except I am expecting a call regarding a car that was paid off years ago, but the bank never released the lien, and it could be coming from another area code.
