I wouldn't keep them on the line. they are not going to waste MY time which is way more important that whomever this scam person is. besides I heard if you keep a scam person on the phone, the more chances they can get control of your privacy. trust me, don't answer; report on the do not call list. if they keep calling they will be charged a fee and you could also receive money if they keep calling you but you have to put the number on a do not call list first.
I have gotten a total of 4 calls just today from this number, and 2 more yesterday. Besides the 2 calls I answered, they just hung up before leaving a message. You have no idea who they are. I answered today, the man told me he was with Windows or Microsoft, and said they have been receiving error reports from my computer. I told him this morning I didn't have a computer at home, so he hung up. I don't even own a PC! All of my computers are Mac products!!! Then, called back 2 hours later, I told him that I had just spoken to them, and I don't have a computer. His words: "You just spoke to me, don't lie. You just told me you have a computer." Excuse me?!? I do not, and I never said that. Him: "Yes you did. Don't lie to me." I politely told him to never call me again.... Who the eff are these people!?!?
This number has called me several times & I finally decided to answer. Strong foreign accent, states I have a Virus on my computer. They said I need to allow them access to my computer & they will remove the viruses'. I told them that what you said to my elderly mom & charged her over $1,400 & dialed into her computer & stole her passwords & instead of removing viruses’ they were the ones that put them on there. Told them I'm glad they called me, so I can update the police that they are still trying to commit fraud & they'll eventually be caught! Phone went dead!
Microsoft scam. The moment he said he was from Microsoft, I said, "You are not. You are lying, and you should be ashamed of yourself. You should get an honest job." Then I hung up and blocked the number.
These people have been harassing my mother and now me for over a year. A total scam. They keep changing their number, and now when they call I tell them that I hope that they go to jail for their illegal and unethical scam. When I said that today, and the last time they called, "Kevin" immediately began yelling "F You" over and over again at me. Please people tell everyone you know, especially older people, NEVER LET ANYONE TOUCH YOUR COMPUTER OR ACCESS IT IN ANY WAY if you don't know them. They are exploiting a Windows security hole and are very dangerous.
