Another computer scam call, this time from "windowtechman.com". Oh, they have a website, but the number isn't in service. Too top it off, the "24/7" chat room feature isn't working.
.
Here is the takeaway:
NEVER ACCEPT CALLS FROM PEOPLE CLAIMING YOUR PC HAS A VIRUS.
NEVER BELIEVE SOMEONE WHO SAYS THEY KNOW THE "CLS ID" of your computer, it is NOT UNIQUE.
.
To prove this, ask them what your operating system is, who your ISP is, and what the name of your computer is.
.
If the cannot accurately tell you without fail, HANG UP AND REPORT THEM HERE.
Had a call from this number. Person said from Microsoft and my computer was sending message that it had a virus. Listened to her(?) story and then said I had to go and hung up the phone.
this is a computer scam. They will try to charge your 300 dollars to fix your computer. ITS A FRAUD to get your money I have sent a detailed letter to the FTC and bank alerting them these people are defrauding people out of their hard earned money.
Same thing just happened to me. Claimed that we under paid our taxes. That's funny I work for a corporation and they use a payroll service that takes the taxes out automatically.
