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.
This must be scam Monday. I got 2 calls back to back. This call came from the home of Martin Grace and his name was Villaim (that is how he said it) . He said he was from the tech dept of windows. I hung up
When I answered ,they never responded, but I heard a lot of people talking in the background. And they hung up. I did get a call like this a couple of years ago and he said I was having trouble with my windows. I told him that I had just replaced the windows and replaced a door in my house. He said no,no,no, your computer. I said what computer, and he hung up.
