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!!!
they've called me about 100 times and say that he is a windows tech. I keep yelling at them to take my name off the list and actually they just called me now and i said "May i speak to your manager?" I did and asked if they removed my name off their list and the manager (supposedly) said that it cant happen. I finally called my dad after that and he said to give them his number. I hope that does the trick. Also, I've blocked every number that they call me on and somehow they still are able to call me. How do they get our numbers in the frst place when we don't put our numbers on anything for those windows users?
They don't need YOUR number... We used call sheets in the 1960's, each went from 0000 to 9999 and at the top we wrote in the area code and prefix we were working. I'd go through several each shift selling magazines. It's probably programmed into their auto dialer now and they pick up when they get a live answer.
A guy named "Paul" with a very oriental-type accent called saying the same as above...that Microsoft is getting "signals" from my computer over "the past several weeks" that indicate a serious problem. I told them there was no problem with my computer (because there is no problem) and I asked them not to call me back, but they did call back several hours latter. I did not pick up the call on the second effort. It is definitely a scam - beware.!
