got a missed call on the landline this morning. From what others have said DARN DARN DARN. they always call when I am asleep. I truly want to screw with these scammers. Yes I know it is a false Microsoft call for viruses, Windows problems, spam, etc. Yes I know NOT to got to any website they want me to but I KNOW I can have SOOOOO much fun.
First clue was getting a call from an obvious foreign voice, yelling hello. First told me I had problems with Windows, I run on MAC so for fun worked the call a while asking questions back. Finally when she said "what do you see?' I said "I see this is a scam" and she screamed a bunch of foul expletives at me F*** you you stupid b**** and f*** your father too, which I found amusing since it's usually stated as your mother. Tried to call back to report to a supervisor (# shows up on caller ID) but could not connect, all lines busy....FIRSTSTEP TECH.That rep was a real peach......
Got a call from this number. It showed up as FIRSTSTEP TECH on Caller ID. The gentlemen on the other end had a very thick indian accent, but I was able to make out that he was claiming to be from Microsoft Tech Support saying my computer has a lot of problems and he was there to help me fix them. Being a computer tech myself, I knew it was a scam and hung up.
Get these calls numerous times weekly. The man/women always say we have computer problems, etc. Today we told him we didn't own a computer. He became flustered and hung up. Complete scammer.
