Called me today from the "Microsoft Help Line" claiming my computer sent them a signal. He asked if I was near my computer, I said it was way upstairs and it's been running really slow lately, "Oh no, I think it froze...I'll have to restart it." I was wondering how long he'd hang out so I put the phone on mute and went back to work. Several minutes later he asks what I see on my screen. "Oh it's still starting up...it's been so slow lately!" Back to mute. Several more minutes and still starting up...he's getting impatient so I tell him it's running and he asks me what icons I see on the screen..."there are so many!" I tell him. After playing dumb for another several minutes while working on other stuff (I'm on a Mac and I couldn't remember exactly what icons are on a Windows screen) he says, "You're a liar! Liar! You're lying to me!" And big surprise, he hung up on me. I was surprised to have kept him on the line for over thirteen minutes!
“Windows Tech Support” scam tied to keep them on the line for a while, but they hung up after a couple of minutes. Call the number back and got a voicemail.
Computer scam don't belive them Google computer phone scams and see all the people that fell for this scam. Report them and warn others so nobody else will let them talk people into letting on there computer. This is a spoof number also
I cut them off, told them to f off and told them I am reporting them to the FCC and to the FBI and I did both. Unless we report jerks like this to the FCC and FBI, and unless the FCC and FBI take action, this abuse will never stop.
