Received a call today - when I picked it up, say 'hello', loud electronic sound and the call is dropped.
BTW heard of a scam used in France - when you dial back on a number you don't recognize it's a $10/per/minute call, and they try to keep you on. So, don't dial this 360 -number. Let them dial you, then hang up when you work it out.
I just got a call 5 mins ago - I only picked it up because I recognised the area code of "360" - I used to live in Bellingham, Washington (which is 2 hours north of Seattle), and thought it may be a friend...
They hung up without talking, but I hope they call back so I can waste their time for some amusement. There are a lot of tech companies in Washington, but Seattle has an area code of 207. Bellingham is a fishing town. So regardless of what they say, don't take it seriously... Enjoy!
Just got the call @ 4:00 pm
from 13604690456
basically it's always an indian bloke who will ask you about your computer or some sort.. the only time you should get your computer checked is by someone face to face!! or via team viewer or something of the sort!
But basically it is as everyone elses response...
me - "HI THIS IS MICHAEL!" (not my name)
"Hey i am calling in regards to your computer?"
me - "Uhh which one?"
"Your Computer sir, it has viruses"
me - "Yes, which one?"
"The Computer with Windows 7"
me - "Oh Ok, what seems to be the problem?"
*Indian hangs up*
Just had a couple miss called and a call from them saying they got report that my PC has virus. They even use "Calling from Microsoft". Told them I don't have a computer and they quickly hang up. Their no. +1(360)469-0456 from WA, USA.
Make sure you don't deal anything from them.
Received a call today from an Indian guy claiming to work for Microsoft's Windows support team (!). The call says it came from Washington State in the US. In a thick accent the guy said I had a virus that Microsoft had noticed and wanted to take over my PC to fix it.
I treated this request with the contempt it deserved. It's is a total scam with criminal intent.
