Got a call. Same Emily MN. I happened to answer. Yep. This is a scam. They want access to your computer. I told him he was an effing scammer and hung up on him. Next time they call if i answer. I will blow a loud whistle so his ear drums burst!! Sick of these idiots.
A foreign man called my home yesterday said someone else was using my "ip" address and wanted to help me resolve the problem. I asked him which company he worked for and his name, couldn't understand him. I asked him if he would give me the "ip" address they where using and he said he couldn't provide that information. He then asked me to go to the computer and press the Microsoft button which would bring up the different programs on the computer. I told him I didn't understand which button he was talking about so he told me it was the button next to the control button. I told him it was the space bar. After about 5 minutes of hearing space bar he asked me what key was below the "z" key, I said "space bar". He got frustrated and hung up on me. Poor fellow could of saved a lot of time if he would of asked if I had a computer and internet service at home. Haven't had them for 5 yrs. If I need a computer I use the library computer.
I got a similar call. Caller ID said Emily with a 218 area code so I did not answer. They left no voice mail. 5 minutes later same phone number so I answered. The gentleman with a heavy accent said he was from Windows and they were getting messages my computer was down loading a virus every time I signed on........ asked me to go to my application and he would show me how to fix it. I told him simply ..... you called 5 mins earlier , left no message and caller ID said Emily so I will give you NO information that my belief they were a scam and I promptly hung up ! Beware !!
