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.
Received a call at 7:30 am in the morning Eastern Standard Time. The women indicated that she was from the IT department of Windows. Surely a scam to get personal information. Told her I was on the Do Not Call list. Also it was the inappropriate time for telemarketers to call, that she woke me up, I didn't have a computer, that my house windows were not broken and clean, and asked what her problem was.
"Surely a scam to get personal information. " You don't seem to listen to the news. Next to the IRS scam this is one of the biggest ones out there. They want money and access to your computer.
