A call from Microsoft? Not in my lifetime. I'm in the US. I have caller ID, but it showed "out of area".
My caller was Asian, with such a thick accent, I almost hung up on him. Not because he was Asian, but because his English was literally painful to hear. I made him spell out everything he said (he was losing his patience)..
"Melitious virus," he said. Directed me to go to RUN: and type "e v e n t v w r "
I thought about trying it on an old disused computer which was not connected to the net. Don't have the time. Came here instead. Would like to know, but I'm not good enough to go head to head with these guys. Would like to hear from someone who is. I'd love to "spike" their PC/Mac like they do in movies and melt down their motherboard combined with an electric shock strong enough to knock them on their [***]..
called from a 360-633-9006 asking to speak with my sister about her computer, when i told him she didnt have a computer he huffed and mumbled omg under his breath i told him your name cant be tom smith since you cant even speak proper english and hung up on him!
