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.
I had the same message. I keep tracking the phone numbers they use and report it. The same MO it was about a payday loan and it is going to court etc. He has a thick Indian Accent
These cockknockers keep calling me about 2-3 a week about every other week....telling me i took a payday loan out for $300.....At first i thought i was in trouble with it, But i went to my bank and never once was this amount deposited on the date they say it happened...Even worse I have been told 4 different dates that this has happened......I have told them everytime they call that this is not true, but they tell me that the law will be coming to get me from my home my job and where ever I am if i do not pay it back right now....How ever when I tell them that I know its a scam they pretend like they can`t hear me and then proceed to tell me that my lawyer had better call them ASAP...Then I hang up on them...But when you try to call the number back...Its no longer in servive or has been Changed
Same number, same guy, same problem...DIFFERENT YEAR!!!!
What IS THE POINT of paying taxes to fund FTC, FCC, FBI F-WHATEVER if they can't do ANYTHING to stop a loser with a phone from trying to SCAM my ELDERLY MOTHER? So they can keep someone from saying the F-word on TV?!?!!?
They should eliminate these pointless departments and cut into the deficit if they can't handle something as SIMPLE as THIS!!
