A "Microsoft Windows Support" person called at 7:08 EST with a destinctive Pakistani accent.
Normally, like "T" above, I do a "pay-it-forward" by wasting as much of their time as possible so it becomes less economical for them to scam other people. But it was a bit early and I just hung up. My record time waster was over an hour, continuously putting them on soft hold while continued on with reading a book. If everyone donated a little time scamming the scammers they would have a hard time retaining their employees.
I got a call from this number at 6:54am. A gentleman, whom I will now refer to as Mr. Scammer, with a heavy accent said that this call is about my computer. I was upset that my first order of business today was to address yet another scam. I am very short with people who lack the civility to call at an appropriate hour. I told Mr. Scammer that he called far too early. He tried to save the call be going into some computer jargon but I was already hanging up the phone. Please note it is illegal for companies to call people prior to 8:30am local time.
