Yet another scam number calling. This time he went back to the old script of " i am from microsoft and you have a virus on your computer ". I told him to go catch a real virus and drop dead :)
We were just phoned from this number. We are living in Netherlands. When picking up, there was a silence. After a short while (few seconds), there was a computerized female voice saying : Goodbye and the connection was stopped automatically.
I got this call as well in California, US. It is merely a bulk call screening and when you get the computerized female voice saying, "Goodbye" that means that you didn't answer quick enough to get one of their sales agents or telemarketers for that particular calling session. So then they just put your number back in the stack and call you again later.
It is amazing how these people get your phone numbers. I have so many people calling me for student loans, scam jobs, and everything else under the sun. All this comes from my efforts to find a job and leaving my contact information with these bogus employment agencies or work ads in something like Craig's List, Career Builder, Snag-a-job, Monster, or anything else like that! They always tell you, "You're information will not be given out to anyone!" But I think many of the jobs listed today are bogus and are merely designed to get your information and then they sell it to things like student loan scams, telemarketers, and every other place doing call screening and bulk calling.
It is amazing how we are destroying the fabric of our economy & society by turning the crimes of yesterday (e.g. exploitation, manipulation, and oppression) into our business practice principles of tomorrow (e.g. telemarketing & venture capital systems). Soon we will be offering college programs with classes like: Business 101 - Strategic Telemarketing (which teaches these fraudulent techniques to our students and future businessmen of tomorrow). This is the problem with our society. We are so egoistically distracted with our need to make a living that we are being manipulated to the point that it is destroying the fabric of society and foundation of human civilization. Our only hope is to create a newly founded society in the third-world that will launch the founding of an institutionalization of peace. Right now our society is founded on an institutionalization of violence and the overt level of expression of this violence is becoming so profound that you practically have to pack a gun when you go down to Burger King to secure your Whopper after you order it! We need to support the Earth Federation Movement to create a newly founded society in the form of a true global social democracy. Otherwise we are headed for complete plutocracy and absolute chaos which will result in the destruction of all humanity in the near future.
Just got a phone call near Toronto Ontario from a guy who said he was mike from windows. Thats not very descriptive? Apparently I have a virus on my computer. Psh. He asked me if I was aware of the problem and I said yes good bye. I dont understand why they bother? Do they get money off of me by calling me? Or is it when I sign up for help? Stupid.
