I get a call from these folks at least twice a week I like to play along with them and tell them, it's about time you called, I leed them on, once they catch on I'm that messing with them they hang up. They want access to my computer lol ya Right!!! Here's my Ssn too!!!
Called today - said he was from windows support and wanted to speak to me about my computer. this is a well know scam where they claim your computer is broadcasting malware onto the internet. Then they try and get you credit card numbers or prompt you to download a virus.
I get these now and then. today i told them i did not have a computer. This caused him to pause and then hang up. You can try speaking in a high "old person voice" and say things like "Sonny, I am 90 years old and I have no use for these gadgets". The list of call types below needs to include "Illegal Scam" in the list.
I have received 45 calls from this number in the past month. While i believe it is different people calling, they always have the same purpose for calling. They state they are calling on behalf of Windows IT services. They state the 'know' something is wrong with my computer and try to sell me computer services. I am on the 'do not call' list and have repeatedly told them this and requested that they stop calling. They keep calling. Recently I've started asking them for more information about their company, their supervisor, etc.. They hang up on me when I do that, but they keep calling. I strongly believe it is fraud and just want them to stop calling me. Any ideas on how to make that happen?
