Ok, so let me start off by saying if your trying to scam me, all political correctness goes right out the window. So I'm sry to those that are good decent people for what I am about to describe.
So , a man with a very heavy Hindi accent is on the phone saying that he is with Microsoft support hotline and that my CPU has been generating error messages. With out thinking I join in on the conversation using the thickest Hindi accent i can imitate. This confuses the hell out of him instantly. "Hello?? Is this Mr. Jonny ____ ? Still in character I say " Oh yes you have reach the house of ____. How may I help you? Silence............ Umm hello Mr. ____? Yes Yes this is he? Please tell me of the reason you have called me today. Uh Yes Mr. ____? I'm with MS support and your computer is causing errors. " Oh that is very very bad, what is the CPU in question? again silence....... then I can hear barely a conversation in the back ground. Uh yes umm. IP address 767. what ever the rest of the number was he said " Oh! dear god what ever could be the matter with it. Dis is very very (CLICK) bad. He hung up on me. Hello? hello? still in character of course. Are you there my friend??? Hello???
I drive my wife nuts when I answer these calls. Can't wait for them to call again.
Just received a call from 732-006-0001 and caller ID said "New Jersey". I screen all calls I don't recognize so after my message played they hung up. I just got a new Panasonic phone with 250 call blocks and I blissfully put this number on the Call Block List.
Caller says he's calling about email problem that was reported to them, they do not speak good english and want me to get into my computer a certain way and give out info. I asked to talk to someone that speaks english I can understand and they can't produce anyone. I can't understand the company they are from.
People do not allow these people to get on your computer under any circumstances!!!!
You pnly thought you had viruses!! You probably won't have any accounts or money either!!!
Believe me i learned the hard way!!!
