My son received a call from Peter Smith who claimed to be calling from Microsoft Windows and advised that his computer would crash in a couple hours if not cleaned of unwanted or error files. There was a cost to complete this so my son declined. I followed up after hearing about it by calling the number provided. The phone rang and went into busy tone. I could not leave a message. Five minutes later Peter Smith called indicating he was returning a missed call. He was rude, and claimed he was calling from a call center. Very suspicious.
I received a call from 1-607-737-1409, from a guy telling me he was Windows Technical Department, I asked him a few questions like who is your company, why are you calling me and immediately he put me over to his Supervisor, David Venger, who says he was the senior technician. He cut me off each time I asked him for more info on his company saying it was unimportant. Apparently I have to believe him as he has worked in Germany and the US. Eventually he said their contact number was 1-567-252-5214. I asked for his boss, Roger Smith, and Roger was just as rude as the other two. He told me I had to log on to my computer to install important updates. I told him I would not do anything as I have no idea who they are or what they want. He asked if I knew Bill Gates. Why?? Because if I knew Bill Gates I could call him myself and ask what the problem was with my computer??? WTF? Eventually he hung up on me as I kept pressing for more info.
Do not give these people your information
