I received a phone call from someone I had great difficulty understanding. After I asked him to repeat himself over and over, I finally got that he was with Microsoft Windows Tech Support and that my computer was vulnerable to viruses. I told him I could not understand him and did not know who he was. He said to call 347-480-1148 for confirmation of his connection with Microsoft. I hung up and called the number. This time a female answered and her accent was such that I could not understand her. I finally hung up. My phone rang again a few minutes later from the first guy. I hung up. He called back immediately and asked why I had hung up on him. I hung up again. From now on, I will just hang up. Maybe they will get the message that I am not interested in whatever they have to offer.
I rec'd a phone call from an Indian or Pakistani man from the Windows company saying that my computer was errantly sending messages to the Windows headquarters. He was becoming quite pushy. His name was Daniel. It became very obvious that it was a scam when I asked him what Windows company was he with and he said "the windows" company. Phone number on caller id read 000-000-0000. After several questions from me as to where he was located in Brooklyn, how long had he been in the states, and how did he get my phone number - he said "never mind" but I asked for the call back number.
The 347-480-1148 was the number he gave me back as a call back number. Be Careful!
