They called me and said I have problems with my windows operating system so I replied " I have a Mac you dumb [***]!" and I told them to scam somebody else.
I have had all these scams happento me as well.All of then and one more. The gentleman asked me these same questions in 2010 . I had no Idea and he asked me to let him show me how bad my computer was and so I followed his prompts and then he says that he can fix my computer if I buy this program with my credit card for 195.00. So then I was not sure and put him on hold called my husband and he told me to hang up. Whew ! I was almost taken.They harrass me 2-3 times a weekstill. How do I get them to stop?
Al - - - Did you not read any of the earlier posts. These calls are robo-dialed by a computer. They just dial numbers in sequence. They don't "get" your cell number.... they just keep dialing numbers, and hope a dumb person answers the phone. Hopefully you realize that the number that appears on your caller ID is not valid either. It is "spoofed" using a complex system of VoIP switching. These are scammers, and the phone companies and the governments seem pathetically hopeless (or actually indifferent) in their ability to stop them. The best thing to do when you get a call from a number you don't recognize is...... don't answer it.
