I have repeatedly received phone calls from these people telling me that there is a problem with my computer. I don't have a Microsoft computer. I have been married for 18 years to my husband and he works in IT and has a degree in Computer Science. He works on fixing employees computers for the company he works for all day, etc. I was also raised by a computer nerd. The first time these "people" called me about an error with my computer, I told them to never call me ever again. They called back three times that day. I have blocked every number they have called from so far. I JUST hung up on another caller. I have blocked that number as well. If I didn't call someone about an issue with my computer, why in the heck would I allow someone to tell me there is something wrong with mine??? I just bought my brand new computer a few months ago. There is not one thing wrong with it. And, if I had an issue, I'd hand it over to my IT husband. Or take it to the reputable company that I bought it from. If you get one of these calls, from New York, usually male with Indian accents, yell at them to leave you alone and never call back. Then block their number(s). Until I can find another way to stop them, that is all I can think of to do when they call.
347-098-4243, called 12-22-15 at 15:15, very annoying calls. did not asked them to call so I feel like it is an invasion of my privacy. I think they should be arrested and rot in jail. better yet, let's get their personal numbers and constantly call them and they will see how it feels like to be harassed. I do not use "the do not call list" because I think the list gets sold to the solicitors.
I get these from time to time, and my thought is the time they spend w/me on the phone is the time they aren't scamming someone else. So, I play along. I act stupid about the keyboard (in part bc I have a Mac so I don't know what the keys are for windows) but eventually just get them going. they get frustrated, and I try to act scared and in a panic that something is wrong w/my computer. Then, when they ask what is on my screen, I usually say something like "u. suck." by spelling it out. ive had them really confused before and even had me (allegedly) do something else, and then I came up with another phrase. I had this one guy going forever until he finally figured it out and hung up. The loser today picked it up quickly and then asked me if I thought I was smart, tried to insult me, threatened me, said he could sue me for what I had said (to which I heartily laughed out loud), and that I had no idea what he could do to me bc he had all of my personal info. Look, if these idiots have all that info, they aren't calling us for more. yes, he's got my name, address and phone--that's not hard to get. ive finally had enough of this that I'm going to just go unlisted. irritates me that I have to pay an extra $5 a month for privacy, but I know it will help.
please mess with and torture these losers--they deserve it.
