Total scam. Told me he was from the Windows service center and that my computer had problems. I kept him on the line as long as possible just to waste his time so he wouldn't be scamming anybody else with that time. I asked him for my IP address because anyone who supposedly had access to my computer would certainly know that. Nope. OF course he doesn't know that because he's just a scammer.
Then I asked him to explain exactly what was wrong with my computer and what version of Windows I was running. Lots of mumbo jumbo and of course he doesn't know what version of Windows I'm running.
These guys are so easy(and fun) to play with although I do feel sorry for the victims who get taken in by these scammers.
Report this number to your local police and to the FTC when they call you.
They are a scam. They have called me up to 60 times a day AT WORK telling me I defaulted on a payday loan and I was being sued this Monday. I played along this time (today) becasue the FTC told me that some poor people BELIEVE THE CRAP these folks are pushing and that they have scammed some people out of thiusands of dollars for nothing, they say they are from various places. (depends on where they stole your info from.) SO I wanted to see how far she took it - she wanted my account number to take $500.
Very harassing, and when you tell them you know they are a scam they hang up, however if you attempt to fight with them telling them to stop calling and that you are calling the authorities they laugh and they just keep calling you back. I had my work phone forwarded to my cell the other day and they called me SIXTY TIMES. I did not know who was calling me because when your line is forwarded you only see the line you forwarded...not the callers number. I was in the middle of moving and they harassed me all day long. they MUST BE STOPPED what are the FTC DOING ALL THIS TIME????????? The guy I spoke to at the FTC last month said these people have been at this for 2 years. I guess they cannot be caught?
