Yeah they got me telling me they were going to give me a grant for $9,200 and I needed to go to the store and purchase cards for them to put the money on I guess I was one of the stupid ones that I actually did it however now reading all of these posts on Facebook I am going to take all this information because I have messages back and forth between the gentleman and I have the numbers that they have called me from and I'm going to turn them into the local pedias well as the FBI and hopefully they will find these hackers and they will to quit trying to screw us over I'm also going to contact a local lawyer to see if there is anything I can do since I do have a name and number I'm going to at least give it a shot
someone who said his name was Pham or Phan claiming to be from Microsoft and needed to access my computer due to errors. Told him I didnt have a computer and stop calling me and then I blocked the number.
Get calls like this all the time from various numbers... Always someone with a thick Indian accent and they claim to be from "Windows" and my computer is reporting an error message to them... Sometimes I immediately call BS on them then hang up; but, if I have time, I like to mess around with them for a little bit before I slam the door on them. My favorite ways to end the call is to tell them that I work for Microsoft Licensing, and I happen to know that it is company policy to NEVER cold call a customer regarding any computer problem. Or, sometimes I like to play dumb and let them start to "walk me through" the remote access process, then tell them "Wait, I don't have any of those menu options... is that because I don't have Windows, I have OS X???" In either case, they usually hang up before I get a response.. and then I don't get a call from that particular number again.
I just got a call from this number about Microsoft Windows and that my Laptop was badly infected. I told them I was not interested and hung up. This is a scam they need to be taken down.
