First, I do not answer any call that does not have a caller ID or number that I don't recognize. I use PhonePower for my VOIP phone service. If I start getting multiple calls from these jerks, I use the block calls feature in the PhonePower app to stop this crap. Thanks to 800notes.com for posting these SCAM *Holes.
Got a call 3 times from this number. Person calling could hardly be understood for foreign accent. Said they were Microsoft calling about computer problems. I told them to take their (bad word) scam and go somewhere else and added "[***]" on the end. I realize this is not nice but neither are they. I answer 2 times and told them the same thing. Third ring I just let it ring. Really getting sick and tired of people who have nothing better to do than cause trouble for others. May they get what they deserve.
Also must add to the problem they claim to be Microsoft PC Specialist. This keeps popping up on my screen about calling a "Microsoft PC Expert" if I am having trouble with my computer. I DID NOT and DO NOT click on that popup. That is the type of person calling but with a horrible foreign accent you can hardly understand.
The person claims to be from Microsoft service center and to have "helped" me before. Initially they say you do have a Windows PC, and I suppose many people say yes. Then, a long not understandable version of their company name. I did ask where he was located and he, very slowly, gave me a New York address which is obviously bogus. Kept asking if I was in front of my computer (no I was making supper) and wanted me to log in to something which I was not about to do. I did mention the "do not call" and he ended saying they certainly would never call again (at least I could understand that part). Also fun to be addressed as "sir" maybe they use that for women too
I managed to get this scammer (named "Fred") to provide me with a street address for the company he claimed to represent. He told me he represented a company named ESupport Live, located at "608 Corporate Way, Valley Cottage, in New York City." When I told him there was no such address in New York City, he hung up on me. But I did find that there is a real 608 Corporate Way in the small town of Valley Cottage in New York State, just north of Nyack, on the Tappan Zee. Here's that address on Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.129763,-73.94 ... AiA!2e0!6m1!1e1. I wonder whether the FTC might investigate that address.
