A guy with a thick Indian accent told me that "social media sites like Facebook could cause problems with your windows package" and said that he could help me fix it. After telling him that I had Linux, he became angered at me and said "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?!", and hung up.
I find it amazing that one of my computers in the offices gets one of those Fake Anti-virus programs that locked down my computer, and a day later I get a call from India trying to sell me support to remove the Virus on my Windows machine.
I played dumb and told the guy I had a google chrome book and he didn't believe me that It was running without windows.
The number looked real on the caller Id 234 567 890, but after looking at it a second time. Obviously a spoofed number.
Just got a call from 234-567-809, guy sounded nigerian or african,thick accent,wanted me know if I was using Windows operating system which I wouldn't tell him. Asked him why he was calling several times. He kept going back to the script to get info. Clearly a scam. As others have stated he would try and get you to install a program on your computer that they could access. Don'y give them any information. Hang up. SCAM!!!!!
Just left post on another site re: received call on my mobile number from the spoofed 234-567-809 number. Chap on other end had an East Indian accent. Background noise/chatter leads me to conclude that he was in a boiler-room phone bullpen. Stated that he could help my "windows registered computer". Would not answer simple questions and I sensed that he was leading to the "we have a program that we wish to install to fix your computer" pitch - I ended the call. Same warning as the other messages on this blog: its a scam - hang up.
