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!!!
Caller identifies himself as a tech from Microsoft and says that "they've received messages that my computer has been infected with all sorts of viruses". I put on my Bulgarian accent and run the jerk ragged for about 25 minutes and finally, as he thinks he is "selling" me a LIFETIME WARRANTY PROTECTION FOR EVERY COMPUTER I OWN!!! for a mere $399, when he asks me what I see when I type in the www.support.me that he instructs me to do (which, of course, I don't), I tell him a big box comes up that says: THIS IS A SCAM. It throws him for a minute and he starts to tell me what big problems I have on my computer, then someone behind him tells him to give up. I say, "Bazeball haz been beddy, beddy good to me!"
Just delt with this too. Told the guy to remove my number from their calling list and not to call me again - he told me to "go to hell". I repeated my previous statement, added that I would be reporting them to the FCC, and that he could take his @ss to hell.
Another call hang up from the crooks at 1003 am; last one was end of May and again on June 12. It is disappointing to read the "smart" men's comments on how they interact with these people. I would think computer specialists would know that they are only providing more information and money to the crooks. Yes, indeed, common sense has sure left the building. So sad. They will not stop their game until the money dries up. You feed them money = they continue. You interact = They get MONEY and sell your number as active to other crooks. Oh geez! Common sense! Please do not interact. Report every call to FCC so they can maybe catch the ring before they change the phone number to another one. The smartest crooks do that every few months. Protect the elderly and impaired from being ripped off by these horrible things that have two legs supposedly.
