They tried a different approach with methey claimed they overcharged me and that they wanted to refund me and would being the check to my house. Which freaked me out I just told him I had to go as well had a thick Indian accent and called himself Roger thomas
My wife received a call (12-17-13) from a person speaking english very badly who said we were having computer problems. We need to get on the computer and download a fix. My wife thought this guy was strange and hung up. The thing is we called AT&T just the other day with internet problems! I wonder if that is how he got out number? My wife was smart and just hung up. Don't fall for this one.
Yep, just got a call from this number. Said he is with Microsoft Service Center and that my computer is downloading viruses and offered to fix it. My wife knew it was suspicious and handed me the phone. I said, "Really, which computer is it? What's its IP Address," knowing he would not know.
Not only did he not know, but he started to give me my home address. I told him "Any idiot like you can look up my home phone and address."
Click! Just as I figured, he hung up. Obviously, anyone from Microsft would not do that.
Personally, I am so sick of even these minor fraudsters I am in favor of a few public executions, the bloodier, the better. Should only take a few.
