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!!!
The caller (who had a thick accent) said he was "Paul, calling from the Windows department?", sounding like he was asking me a question. I told him that what he said didn't make sense, and he hung up.
Keep getting calls for 315 665 5113. Continually asking them to remove me from their call list.
Does not happen. I am on the do not call listing. Please give these people a fine. they are not going to quit.
A man called me from this number saying he was from "Windows Technical Department", I asked him to hold on for a second and started my recorder. I told him that the conversation was being recorded and that he may start again at any time. He then explained to me that my "Windows machine" was infected with many viruses and would show me how bad it was infected. I again told him that the phone call was being recorded and asked him for the phone number he was calling from. He gave me (315) 665-5113 as the number he called from, but he called from (315) 675-5111. After trying to get me to allow him access to my computer I asked him what IP address was showing that reported the problems to him. Of course he couldn't give me any answer but continued to say that my "Windows Machine" was infected and that he could "Fix it" right away if I let him have access. I am a computer tech and knew when I answered that this was a scam so I told him I was a computer tech and that a copy of my recording was being forwarded to my attorney generals office as soon as he hung up. Silence from his end (except for the background noise of others trying this scam on different people) and then he hung up. Never let anyone have remote control of your computer unless you know them and you called them for help. Microsoft doesn't waste their time trying to alert anyone of viruses they may have on their computer.
calling every day, up to 3-4 times/day...leaving no message and taking up my precious time and minutes paid. Why is this allowed to cont.? I up-date the do not call approx. every 6 months.
