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.
Got a call from 1-626-963-6356. A man with an accent said I have a corrupt computer. I told him I am an IT tech and have been in the business for 20 years (not true but what does he know) and I know my computer is not corrupt. Repeated this several times and then he hung up.
This number called me a few minutes ago, and said he was with Windows. He said, my computer called and said I had a virus lol. I just said, please stop calling me. He hung up on me. It came up on the caller ID as Jason Johnstone.
Called me just now, 10:14 AM on a Saturday. East Indian accent. Somehow knew my last name. Then tried to tell me he's from Microsoft tech support and they have detected some problem with my computer. I knew he was lying but played along for a minute just to see how far he would get before I slammed him on it. He hemmed and hawed when I asked questions about how he could possibly know there was something wrong with my computer and then when he asked me what OS I was using, I blew up on him. How could he possibly know anything about my computer if he doesn't even know the OS! Probably a mistake to even go along at all, as it may help him to refine his scammer technique to try to convince the next robo-called victim!
