I've been called 6 times in 3 hours. An Indian guy goes into the Windows scam spiel and I keep telling him to stop calling and he won't. There were calls earlier in the day from the same number, with no message. I just feel harassed.
The guy with an Indian accent called about my Windows software. I asked him where he was from and how did they get my number. He said, after a slight pause, 'because you're a customer'. I said I only use Macs. He quickly hung up.
I received a call from this number on Dec 2, 2016. A man (Indian / Pakistani perhaps?) said he wanted to talk about my Windows computer. I said 'goodbye' and hung up immediately. It's some sort of sales or scam, not sure which.
This is the info I find online about this phone number: 587-350-3262
Line Type: Landline
Carrier: Shaw Telecom Inc - BC
Owner: J Dabene in Gary, Alberta, Canada
They have been calling for 3 or 4 days now, never leave a message. My caller ID says J. Dabene, when I call back the number, recording says number not available, please dial again.
Alberta, Canada Windows scam. Guy was an idiot. Sounded Indian or something. I knew more about computers than he did! I have blocked the number but they keep calling!
Caller identified as Dabene, J (587-350-3262) called at 10:45 am today. Same routine as reported. I missed call, no message. He called again at 10:59 and started spiel about calling about my Windows computer, etc. Have had this call many times before, different people, a well-known scam since at least 2009 (Google it) - do not EVER do what person says. I quickly interrupted him, said don't have Windows machine, I know what you are doing, this is a scam, remove my number from your list, etc. This time I was not as nice as before, didn't really allow him to get started on his script. Guess that hurt his feelings. Slight pause on phone. He: "Well then, I will call you every hour." Me: "Why would you do that?" He: "Oh, just to talk to you." Me: "Please don't call again and take me off your list." I hung up. He called again at 1:04 and 2:04 pm. Glad to have Caller ID. Will see if he calls at 3:04 etc. Definitely gone from scam to harassment. What a jerk.
