Thank you for the info. They called my mother and I answered the phone a man with a thick accent told me there was a problem with her computer when I said she had none he hung up on me.
Scam. Said he was from the tech help desk and that they were getting alerts from my computer? Really? And you are calling me on my cell phone, which has no relationship with my computer? He wanterd me to open the event viewer on my computer. I'm an IT guy and told him 'no'. I did a google search on this and found that this is a common scam. They will try to get you to run a program to let them take over your computer and 'fix it' for $$$. Tell them to buzz off.
They called me in the middle of the work day and did not answer the phone when I said hello. I hung up. I live in Texas. The phone said this call was from New York
Calls, but says nothing. Caller ID says "Cell Phone NY". Obvious scammer. I hope his entire family suffers a long, slow death from combined aids and ebola.
They said my name and number was selected by the us government to receive $9000 grant that i don't have to pay back said they can only deposit it into my bank account or any card that i wish i told them i don't have any cards then either she hung up or i lost service
