Just got a call from 250-112-2330 (BC Canada area code) today, they were asking for Mr.ANNON (Im definitely not him) and when I said they have the wrong number Twice the operator then asked me "Are you full of S***?" quite a shocking message to receive first thing in the morning when I had my computer off for days.
After asking for a Manager I spoke with someone else (A supervisor I assumed), relayed the obscene comment I received then was forwarded to A "Supposed" Manager, In which I complained, Again and politely asked not to be called again.
Upon that I was asked about my computer, and in true fashion I said "I dont own one" ...They then hung up.
claimed to be working for Dell, at the time of the call my PC was turned off.
the caller wanted me to turn my PC on so he could monitor for viruses or something.
he spoke with a heavy indian accent which made it hard to understand what he was saying.
NO company - Microsoft, their partners network - or Dell - is monitoring everyone's computers for viruses, and they do NOT cold call you trying to convince you that there's something wrong with your computer. If these people call back, tell them you know they're scammers and hang up on them. If you go to the official Microsoft page, you 'll see information on this scam.
