Called me last Sunday, told them No Way, and straight up I wouldn't turn on my computer (If nthey knew so much, they would have known 2 were on and hooked into the 'net as was x-box).
Called Monday & talked to my wife. Good girl told em hubby takes care of all computer stuff and to call back after 7.
got call tonite from "Russel" (same voice and name as previous guy). He ran through his speel, then I told him I worked in I.T., and yes I did have a "windows computer", several in fact, along with 2 MacBooks and my own server; and seeing as I had set up my own network and constantly monitor it and had never heard of his compny, what was the exacct "error message" my server had sent?
Long pause followed by "Well, you work in I.T., I shouldn"t have to explain. What do you want me to say?"So I told him : Just the truth, you're trying to scam people, aren't you? Don't call me again"
He hung up.
25 minutes later, same jack*** called back using same name and script. I reminder him of our last conversation and sais if he didn't take me off his list, HE would be facing a denial of service attack as I was in the process of spider-spooling info on his company's numbers and IP addresses (all bullcrap).
He apologised and hung up.
One more call and I will though!

Got Multiple phone calls from multiple numbers. Same scam- Indian guy saying my computer has been infected by virus. I had enough and decided to play- I started to cry and say "my computer has a virus"? Is it serious? Omg, what am I going to do? Is it going to die? Does it needed an operation? Will Facebook die? He was at a loss and said , no ma'am, not like this in his heavy duty accent. I started wailing mad fake crying and I asked how long it had to live. His response? 4 months!! Kept going on and on, he finally hung up.
Sombody phoned last night. Very strong ssiatic accent. Calls himself Peter and work's for microsoft.My computer has a virus, so he is telling me. I should turn on my computer and then he would show me what has to be done about that. I said: I don't think so and hung up the phone.
