Have received numerous calls today. Different area codes each time, but the exchange is always 555. I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize, and no messages have been left.
Been receiving multiple phone calls from "Microsoft Tech Support" telling me my computer has reported it is infected with a number of viruses, malware, etc. They tried to convince me my computer is not running at normal speed and they could fix it if I only gave them remote access to my computer. Being a computer geek I starting questioning them on how my computer is reporting these problems and they had a good line. When I told them I would not give remote access but would fix the problems manually with their help. They started working with me and in the middle of the issue they tried a run around that would give them remote access but it didn't work. These "Techs" have a middle eastern accent.
Been receiving multiple phone calls from "Microsoft Tech Support" telling me my computer has reported it is infected with a number of viruses, malware, etc. They have called several times today from different numbers:
240-555-0112, 617-555-0147, 613-555-0146 and 228-555-0111
I have received countless phone calls from these people. Turns out they are Pakistani. Also admitted it is a phishing scam. They informed me that Americans were stupid and they hated us. Then he wanted me to participate in some sort of Western Union scam. How about we send them a few more billion to harbor the likes of Usama bin Laden?
*****SCAM ALERT******SCAM ALERT******SCAM ALERT*****
228 was one of the few area codes that we did not have blocked - but they are BLOCKED NOW!
Ha!
They called at 9:59am - I didn't answer mostly due to their absolutely stupid spoofed phone number.
If you are going to try to "get" me, you've got to be smarter than that...
228 is a Mississippi area code.
