When we get phone calls like this that we don't recognize, I pick up the phone, hit talk and then immediately hit off. If I don't know you, I won't talk to you!!! It said NelNet on the caller ID......
This phone# called at 6am here in WAshington state on 8/31 - probably from out of the country. I picked up then hung up so it would not wake my wife. I HATE these people calling to "fix" your computer. I always tell them off and hang up.
Being on the DO NOT CALL list does absolutely NO good.
These people called me today, told me they wanted to help. I asked them what my computer ID is. I told them that if they knew my ID they would also know that O/S I had. This is a scam, don't get caught up. They are hacks and idiots !!!
I picked up, said "Hello?" a couple of times, was about to disconnect, when a guy who sounded like he was from India said that there were reports from my computer that my Windows O/S was having problems, & he was responding to help.
