Said he was with microsoft and wanted to remove a virus on my computer,Said they got an alert from my comp...had trouble understanding the [***]. hung up om him
Got a call from this number, "Windows Technical Support" informing me that they were showing error messages on my computer. I told him there was no such business name and no way they know what's going on with my computer. I then told him what he could do with himself and I hung up. Scumbags!
I was tempted to pick up. I had previously reported to Un. of Minn that their web address "@umn.edu" was being used for SPAM emails, and thought they were calling me back. Glad I checked with 800notes first.
Several calls in the last few weeks. I don't answer unknown callers. No message left. Caller ID is the best thing ever. Glad to known I'm not the only one and even gladder I didn't answer, after reading the experiences of others. I'm on DO NOT CALL for home and cell phone but it doesn't seem to help a lot. Scammer ought to go to jail, especially when they are preying on the elderly!!
The good news is that the whole whistle/air horn thing will damage hearing. The bad news is that it will be your hearing that is damaged. That whistle/air horn thing is an urban myth.
