This is absolutely a scam, and they are so stupid about it that I don't know how they haven't been caught yet!! I get this Indian guy speaking at me, and there is a louder Indian guy in the background on another call, saying almost exactly the same scripted BS as the first guy. They drop buzzwords like "McAffee" to get your attention, and of course 1 in 4 is probably using McAffee so they have your attention. But this guy was fumbling around like such a dope that all you could do was laugh in his face, and report it. Elmira NY is the origin of the call, and I was actually just out that way last week, so that caught my attention too! All you can do is to report it here and other places, and at FCC.gov.
Got several calls on my parents home phone in Hawaii while I was visiting. Guy had East Indian accent and used my last name, said he was from Microsoft windows support and that my computer was sending fatal error messages, that I needed to log on immediately so he could remotely fix the problem. I told him my computer was off, he said it was still sending messages and that I needed to log on now. I hung up and he called back a few times So I just kept hanging up I will also contact Microsoft support.
Got a call from "Unknown" number telling me about Microsoft issues with my puter. Wanted me to go to my computer. I said "Oh my gosh really?" acted like I was interested then hung up. Then the moron called back from 607.733.6833. Let him explain his nonsense then hung up on him.
Got a call from this number .... Answered it...a guy said hello twice and then wouldn't says word. I hung up and called the number back only to have a constant ringing noise in the headset. Obviously a scammer.
