Foreign / Indian woman called about Windows security. I can't type what I said to her. I have stored the number in my phone book as "Windows Scam" since they use the same phone number. And just what are the authorities doing? Nothing. You'll also notice that the Call Type below does not include "Scam".
This was one of those calls with a foreign sounding voice on the other end, saying they were calling regarding our computer. We get so many of this type of call. I always tell them we do not talk to anyone on the phone about our computer, and say goodbye and hang up.
Told me he was calling to investigate a report he received and wanted to fix my computer from the hackers that have invaded it. Kept him on the line for a very,very long time while I browsed the internet. As he was getting very frustrated with me I told him he was the problem and he got very upset and said, "I'm the problem, you go to h%ll Moth^&#%$er" and hung up. Guess I ruined part of his day but at least I kept him from calling someone else. Usually they don't get that upset when I do that to them. LOL
The call came at 8:20 AM Wednesday. I use Sentry II so these calls never get through to me. However, I checked the number here and I tried calling the number back--I learned it was disconnected. To all of you who get these scam calls and spoofed calls as well I pose the following query. Does the same thing happen to people you know? If it does, find out if these believe in the Constitution and are real Americans as I am.
