Well they called again! These people just don't give up. Says he is from Windows Technical Dept. Ask his name and he said Peter Anderson. I asked where he is and he said San Francisco. I asked his phone number (altho it was on caller ID) and he told me he didn't have a phone. I said...oh really, then how are you calling me? I started to laugh and he said....what are you laughing about? I said.....I don't even own a computer. He said......don't laugh, this is my job. I told him to get a new job and hung up. Heavy accent and no way was his name Peter Anderson. I am reporting it to https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx
These people are relentless
Both are scams!

Thick accent, man asking for my bra and panties sizes to confirm and online order. Told him I placed no such order. He had my email address, one that I have not given out, and also my cell number and full name. Had a bogus address, but it was a local one. Was very forceful in wanting my age and underwear sizes. Finally agreed to cancel said order then asked me if I wanted to make friends and tried to tell me how good of a "friend" he could be. Gave me 2 different names when I asked who was calling. Hung up on him.
This number called me today and started with the your computer has viruses but when I advised that I do not have internet they transferred me to supervisor who asked mt age. I told him none of his business. Then he read me my address and email but I said neither were correct. Then he said I had a very sexy voice and he would send sex to my house. Creepy!
thick accented gentleman just called claiming that he saw I was interested in going back to school. Told him I don't know who they are and I wanted them to lose my phone number.
This caller claims to work for Microsoft technical support. He told me that I and lots of other people have a bad virus and IE has sent many error reports that IE has to close down (this has happened many time with my PC) and he told me other things that were happening to my PC that were true, I didn't tell him anything about the problems I'm having, HE TOLD ME so I asked a few questions from a past experience I had help with, so I let him into my PC he said it will take about an hour to repair all the problems and not to shut my PC down or it will never re-start again. SO I watched him do a few things and then he went to WESTERN UNION and started sending money transfer's of 199.00 and 200.00 (not my money)to a person named PATRICIA LETTS in the USA from AFGANASTAN + so I took some pictures of the 2 transfer's really quick and unplugged my PC, I waited a while, plugged PC in and on, he had turned off all my security, it took me a while to get security back on and did a lot of cleaning several times, PC seems ok for now,I got tracking numbers, I think I need to send this info to Microsoft and probably the police. I still get calls from that number but I wont be stupid twice.
