Got a call from someone who said his name was Roger Smith (strong accent). He said he was calling from 2 Carter Street in Toronto and the number was 713 357 6334. He wanted to take control of my computer...said I had issues. I said I would call him back. Don't plan to.
Just got a call from "Web Support 247", Kevin Jones (heavy Indian accent). Said he was calling from Mississauga, Ontario. Wanted to verify my computer ID # was "304..." gave about a 20 digit number too quickly to write down. I asked him to repeat it so I could verify it was my computer #, and he said he would verify it if I gave him access. Told him area code 713 is not Mississauga and asked again who he was and what he wanted. He hung up.
A guy giving his name as Jason called with a local BC phone number of 604-678-5888 to say that his company works with computers operating on a windows platform to provide security. He had a quick speel about how pop up windows can be a security threat to my computer and they could help by providing the proper security. He made it sound like there was something wrong with the security of my computer and when I asked how he got my phone number he said it was automatically dialled by a local server. He said his company was multi-national and when I asked for the HQs he said it was in Ontario & gave the ph.no. 713-357-6334. These guys just keep calling from some call centre probably located somewhere in India & try to make some big bucks by trying to scare a person into buying what they think is a security support service that they could get from their own internet carrier.
They just called - when pressed he said his name was Shane and his phone number was 1-713-357-6334 said that malicious viruses were being downloaded onto my computer every time I used it - I insisted he give me his name and phone number and this is what I got - strong accents and very aggressive.
