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!!!
I just received a call from this number. I knew immediately it was a scam. The woman spoke very poor English and didn't understand me very well. She told me that my Windows computer (I haven't owned a Windows machine in about 12 years) had been sending messages or something, which means I have a bad virus on my machine. I asked how she got my number and she told me that when you buy a Windows product they have my information so she's just calling to help me.
I played along knowing that she was going to try to gain access to my machine and either upload a virus or lock it down and make me pay to have them fix it. I wanted to get farther in the conversation but I didn't have a Windows machine to take the steps necessary to give her access (I would have stopped right before allowing access). At that point I just stopped her and told her I'm not an idiot and I've read about their scam and I don't even have a Windows machine. I told her down the line that I knew exactly what she was going to try to do and that she should get a new job with a company that doesn't scam people for a living. She promptly hung up. People like this make me so sick.
This phone number called me yesterday and I was not at the phone at that time to answer it. Then today I answered, and 10 seconds later this woman says goodbye and hangs up. *Blocked*
I keep getting calls from them...3 times today saying window technician support. The funny thing is that my cell phone isn't used on my computer and I don't have windows on my computer.
I got this call at work one day, He said i had a problem with my windows, I told him they looked fine but a little dirty but it was hard for me to wash the second story ones on the outside. He kept going on about windows computers, I told him my windows were the old fashioned type that slide up and down but some are getting sticking now from to many coats of paint, I had him going for several minutes of me rambling on before he finally hung up! LOL
