Yet another call about my nonexistent windows computer, claiming that it
has an awful virus. I think they fired the guy with the indian accent - the
one who called me had another (foreign) accent.
I answered the call and this oriental sounding guy says he is calling about my computer having windows problems. I cussed him out and told him to lose my number. He calls at least twice a month, but not always from this number. It is a total scam!!
I usually don't answer these, but sometimes I am bored. I tell him computer is off. It is. I say sure let me go put it on. Then, I put the phone down and read the paper. After awhile you here Hello, hello, are you there. Goes on a while and he comments to someone he doesn't know where you went. Eventually hangs up. Or I play what's my name. I can waste their time.
Called number back on secure line; message that the number was no longer a working number. An
employee at FCC said that many of these callers some way have nonwroking numbers for caller id.
Seems like an area for regulation with harsh fines.
