Just received a all from this number. Foreign guy stated I had been ignoring their calls. Said he was calling from Microsoft about my computer that was really infected and about to die. I thanked him for informing me mid-sentence and hung up. Caller Id said New York. I usually don't answer unrecognizable numbers, but was curious today. Bad move.
Indian guy called continued to ask for my husbands Surname & identified himself as a techie with Microsoft I immediately stopped him, advised him I was aware of his phone scam, didn't take too kindly to this call & did what I do best, told him to go F***k himself, I think I used it in verb form. He rebutted with similiar language, that's when I hung up. 3 seconds later he called back from a different phone # & became truly abusive & asked how it was possible for him to actually F***k himself.
Thats when I dropped the bombshell told him I was a Police Officer that I had traced the call already & if he failed to comply with my request not to call again I would have the authorities on his Rickshaw so fast he would find out in a hurry how it was possible to F***k himself, my Indian pain in the [***] hung up immediately.
Lady with a thick asian accent called and said she was calling because she received a report that I have a problem with my "Windows computer", which "has an infecction". I replied that there is nothing wrong with my computer, and she said "but I get a report". I repeated that there is nothing wrong with my computer, and hung up.
We also received a call in London, Ontario warning of problems detected with our "Windows computer". They seemed confused at being told Windows doesn't make computers. Super SCAM. Avoid these people! They called back immediately from four other numbers within two minutes. One was listed as "private caller" but the four others came up as:
Some man with an Indian accent called me about a problem with my computer. When I refused politely, he got rude and explained it was my loss, so, I asked a series of questions.he couldn't answer, like how my number got in their system. Of course I got the run around about some "chip". I've had the same laptop for about 3 years, I don't have any complications. Never entered my number to report anything. Told no, then hung up.
