Same thing, got a call at 12:am got me out of bed. I said do you know what time it is? He says , yes mam but ths is very important ...etc. I asked for his number and name, James.
Just got the same call from "Eric Watson" with a heavy accent, saying the same thing except he was from Washington D.C and was with Micro-Soft. I knew 661 was a California number, told him I would have to call him back, and reported it to our police department and someone in charge of our senior community. Our niece is with the State Department in D.C. and I knew that was not their area code it turns out to be someone from Talecapi ? Ca.
Call at 945 pm from "Jerry" a tech from Windows Service Center with a very thick Indian accent claiming that the internation routing system picked up my computer downloading viruses. Kept saying "listen I'm trying to help you and I can prove what I am saying". Anyone saying they can "prove" anything set me on edge. Asked to speak to a supervisor who also had a very thick Indian accent. Her name was "Alisha". Told me the same thing and "that she I don't have to believe what her stupid mouth said that she can show me". Got the phone number and quickly googled it and came here. Told her that I would call back. Posted this on Facebook to warn my friends and plan on posting to Microsoft and contact the news.
Just got a call from unknown said he was from Windows and they detect a hacker on my computer. He wasn't very friendly and didn't like that I was asking him questions to verify who he was. He just kept saying i need you to go to your computer and do what I say. I told him I couldn't so I could get off phone. I asked his number so I could check him out. I searched online and saw many others were getting the same thing.
He had a heavy accent.
Just received called from Indian fellow who said his name is Eric Watson. He wishes that guy is rich, I just googled him! So this other "Eric Watson" (name more like Punjat or Kalesh) who called me had a bad attitude when I did not want to talk to him. Phone number came up as Private Caller. I dismissed him rather quickly.
