I had the call from a guy I could barely understand (I speak french), indian accent for sure.
He said he was calling for Microsoft from I didn't understand the company name, he said I donwloaded a virus!!!
Anybody with an once of intelligence know that's scam, but he also had the time to tell me he wanted me
to switch my computer on and follow his instructions before I hang up...
He called 2 more times in the next minute. The other numbers were:
315-458-7682
607-739-9798
and I checked the calls we had before because it happened a couple times in the last week and we did not answerd
because the numbers tells us nothing... Here they are:
631-581-9211
630-859-9404
So what can we do???
I just received a call from this number and the individual had a heavy Indian accent and said he was with the federal government and I was picked to receive some money. He was about to explain to me why and how I was picked to receive this money. But, I knew it must be a scam, so I just told him, "no thanks", and hung up. I went to the Internet to check if others has had this same experience. Similar but not the same, but is definately a scam!!
Hi,
This deep indian accent just called me asking me by my last name. He said that i had a problem with my computer saying he was working for Microsoft. When he said "mam i can give to you my employee number" i said ok and i'll check on google your informations... he hang up on me! hahaha
Received from Indian man with thick accent and other voices (like a call centre) in background. Very difficult to understand and hear him. Played along--tried to figure it out--knew something was up when he told me he needed to help me with my Windows program (I use a MAC). He gave me a code 888DCA60 and asked me to turn on my computer and press START. I laughed and told him I couldn't do that as I have a MAC and he fumbled a bit---then said he could still help me as he knew that I wasn't a technician and wouldn't know how to fix the problem!!! I couldn't string him on any longer and laughed ..... he then hung up on me. Unbelievable! Sure hope he doesn't convince anyone into this SCAM.
calls and answers then hangs up. VERY ANNOYING. I tried calling it back - says its disconnected. The phone companies need to take responsibility for this, after all the money we pay to them every month its the least they can do. Invent something that allows us to block any number coming in that says Unknown Name.
Just received a call from Dandy Mini Mart (caller ID) with a person with a strong Indian accent. Said that he worked for Microsoft and my computer IP (192.168.1.116) had reported several virus hits and would crash my computer. He directed me to a website (teamviewer) and asked me to download. At this point I asked if I could call him back. I did not after googling the MINI MART number.
