The number could be from anywhere in the world! Yes, the 'computer Tech' guys really try hard to speak with an American accent and use a typical 'American' name. I've been called numerous times over the years and had played my own games with 'Alex'...who got very mad when I told him I would not turn my computer over to him. I hung up when the swearing started. He called me back....twice. Last time I said I'd called the FBI.or FTC. He hung up. Two week after that, "Alex" called again. I reminded that I'd called the FBI, all my calls are now recorded. It's been almost a year. And so the scams start again with a new batch of idiots
Answered call by mistake, was waiting for a call and hit the open button too soon. Got a spiel with a heavy Indian/Pakistani accent about Windows 7 problems but it's obsolete and no longer supported by Microsoft and my system is Windows 10 anyway. Told him he'd called Jessup State Prison and he'd have to wait for the Warden's assistant to authorize and cooperate. He abruptly ended the call.
Same scenario as above, I laughed and told him to go home and pray for forgiveness for scamming people. Hung up and he called me back. They keep calling. I am going to block this number on my home phone..
Called today. Twice. 1-minute apart. I would guess that would be bad except they left no message. Of course that might have something to do with both calls being blocked by a certain blocking service that this site does not like.
