Called the house phone.
Asked me about my "windows computer" and it said that he was from Microsoft and was calling about errors that had been showing up for a long time.
I asked him "which computer?"
He said "your windows computer, ma'am."
I said "yes, which one?"
He says "how many computers do you have?"
I began to list them off. And then I asked which Microsoft account the errors were under.
He promptly hung up.
I went to call the number back.
They are using a number scrambler.
On the caller ID it's showing up as "Michael Chapman." Someone should let this guy know. Lol
Good luck everyone. Hopefully nobody falls for this junk.
Caller ID said Arizona call. Middle-eastern man told me my Windows computer was sending bad info to them. I asked who I was sending info to, and he said "to us". I asked if his computers were connected to every computer in the world, and he said "just Windows computers". I told him I use Apple computers and didn't understand how I could send bad info to a Windows computer. He asked if I am so-and-so (some name I couldn't understand). I said yes. He said, "then you are using a Windows computer because we know what you use." I disagreed, and he hung up. These guys are not professional, for sure. I have never found one who knows enough about computers to dispute what I tell him. I'm a computer tech, by the way. I can confuse anyone with computer [***].
They called me as well. When I asked where they were located, he gave some addy in Illinois. When I told him I was Googling that addy, he hung up. Scammers!
