"Sam from Microsoft" called offering to fix an issue on our computer - only problem, he make the mistake of saying what OS we were running and he was wrong. I take some comfort in knowing that this guy will probably end up in hell when he dies.
I answered a call at My Mom's home today. Voice was very heavy accented probably Indian. He told me he was from Windows office and that they were getting error messages from the computer every time that I looged onto the internet from this location! I played dumb and told him I needed to call him back because I had a 'bad connection! He gave this number! (Usually when I ask scam callers for the phone number they disconnect). I then told him that I know that he is a scam caller! He denied it. I was thrilled to reveal to him that this 'location' had no computer whatsoever. Mom's in her 90's and has never had a computer. I told him I was reporting him to my State Attorney General's office.
Got a call from man with Asian accent to fix my computer, very persistent, vague about who he works for. I also called back the number they gave me 347-352-0133, said they are in NY, another man with foreign accent answered. Didn't go for it. Really sounds like a scam.
