I received the same call but was bored and played their game. I only have macs so I pretended to use my computer. He had me go to the command prompt by pressing window key and r. Then he asked me to type in some things.....I pretended to do it of course asking him to repeat things a millions times. I then said my screened showed for letters and I asked him to write them down...S....C.....A.....M. After the third time he finally understood. He proceeded to talk bad about my mother etc and used explicit language. I congratulated him on learning how to read. I also let him know a little about his own knowledge and mother. I hope he calls back. That was fun!
These people are from India and they are selling Viagra, Cialis and other medication that are manufactured there and they sell it here at a very cheap price. I made the mistake of calling them one day a year ago. I heard an ad on 1010WINS news radio about purchasing these drugs cheaply. I called 800-908-5260 and placed an order to see what it was all about. That started a landslide of calls from 234-567-890. They come through as SALEM OHIO on the caller ID because that is the area code and exchange of Salem, OH. But they are disguising the phone number. When I placed my initial order I was told to call 800-276-9121 if I did not receive my medication. It took well over a month for it to come to me in a tiny brown box with all stamps from India. I had to sign for the parcel at the Post Office. This is a nightmare as my pleas to stop fall upon deaf ears, yet they insist and try to engage you in a conversation. If I could reach out and smack them over the phone, I would!
Call came in from Salem, OH, 234-567-809, from a "government program" saying that I was randomly selected and won a $500,000 loan, that I didn't have to pay back. I let him do his thing because I couldn't believe how ridiculous it was. He said all he needs is my CC info. I said, "no no , just send me the money and we'll be good to go. I am so excited about collecting this money. I am so lucky" I played with him a for a little while longer before I hung up on him.
This has been going on ever since I tried to contact an agent online to view a home. They are rude but continue to call 3-5 times a day. They said this last time he was from Lend up loan company and I was approved for a loan from the State of MN. Playing along, I asked them when I applied for this loan and he said there are many people from MN and all he had was my name and number. I pushed him and asked if they know I am approved for a loan then they should know when I applied for this said loan- he was mad and hung up. Called back 2 minutes later- did not answer.
Last week a lady ended up calling be a b-word and hanging up only to call me back, whisper B-word and hang up again.
