Caller from Viking, Minnesota (according to my caller ID, not neccessarily so) said my computer was running very slow and he wanted me to be in front of it so he could repair it for me. We are on the Do Not Call list and have an ongoing case with the FCC and FTC so everything was recorded and transmitted to their office. I hope he goes to jail for a long time.
I received a phone call from an Indian woman from 218-523-6541 Viking, Mn stating she has been receiving info from my computer that it is corrupted. I played along and she switched me to her supervisor and she proceeded to tell me how she could access my computer to fix it. I hung up on her and she called back stating that she could prove to me that she is legit by knowing my license no. of the computer, etc. I hung up again. I hope no one lets them have access to their computer as they could get all info from computer.
they have called several times, got smart, got an air horn. Played along long enough to determine scam, then BLASTED! Calls stopped for about 2 weeks. Just got one. Let's see how long this one lasts. Yes, very heavy foreign accent!
Claims of a windows problem with computer and am I in front of my computer. Jerks!
Male caller had heavy Indian or Pakistani accent and claimed to be a windows technician trying to help out with a computer problem. I asked which computer and he could not tell me, he wanted me to provide a computer ID number. I also asked which version of windows had the problem and again he could not tell me even the windows version. I then proceeded to advise him to never call this number again. However, I'm sure that a scammer is not going to listen.
Got a phone call from them, same story as reported by everyone else. Male, thick Indian accent, stated they had received messages from my computer advising of a virus infection. I too had some time to mess with him and thanked him for his dedication and hard work. After his blurb that he finished, I asked him what the IP address of the computer was that he was receiving the messages from and he asked if I was home and could sit in front of the computer, then he tried to "walk" me through how to find the IP address. I became annoyed with him at this point, since they can't even give them a good script to follow, and suggested that he was participating in a scam and, as it was crossing state lines, that perhaps the FBI would be interested in getting his information. He hung up the phone then.
