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 spilled out a lot of bad words at this guy. They called last week and asked for my husband and I asked who was calling twice and at the third one, they hung up. Today I told them to F off twice. Next time I'm getting an air horn and blow it into the phone.
Windows scam apparently from the postings. Yes, we hate these horrible crooks. However, please consider using common sense: You answer and talk to them or scream back at them, then you set yourself up for more and calls. Plus, since you are a "live" number -- they sell your phone number to other crooks and make even more money. Sometimes someone checks the phone number out in depth -- well, surprise! The phone numbers are usually stolen from someone's legal phone number. Report to FCC every call, every time -- it is the only way they can close in on these crooks. And no, the DNC list is not a failure -- legitimate businesses abide by it, crooks do not. Why would they follow a law? Remember: common sense. And please, let the elderly and impaired know not to answer the phone. If it hangs up, problem solved. If they leave a message and say call back and you do not know who they are, do not pick up and delete the message. YOU interact then YOU become part of the problem -- YOU give them more money. Privacy is gone, remember, even though the guys in DC think it is still there.
i get calls like this all the time, so i have fun with them and pretend i am somebody that doesn't know anything about computers ( even tho i build computers and networks ha ha) i figure if they are wasting there time with me they are leaving others alone, and i play very stupid, my wife and daughter enjoy listening to me while i frustrate these guys. THEY ARE SCAMMERS DO NOT GIVE ANY INFO
but have fun with them they will get tired of you wasting there time and stop calling
When they call I ask him if he is tired. Says no. I say surely you must get
tired of calling the same numbers all the time. They usually hang up.
I have been getting calls from these people for a year or so. They must
get paid by the number of calls they make. If not, surely they will go
broke.
