just got a call from this creep - said he was Mike (with my last name) calling from California and thought he would come visit for Christmas. said he talked to me a few months ago and could not believe that I didn't know who he was - scumbag!
He said he was from Windows International. My computer was generating error messages. He asked me if I did any banking on the computer I said no, I just play games. He wanted me to go to the computer but I told him my phone cord wouldn't reach and that he should send me a letter. He said he would and I hung up.
I got a call from the same # as above and I did get scammed....fell for it. DO NOT let them convicnce you.....it is a SCAM. Have since had to change all my personal info!!
live in chilliwack bc . this person who could hardly speak english told me he was from windows and calling from the u.s.. tried to get me to go into my computer and he would fix my windows problem.
he said you have an older computer and it is going to crash. That's funny I told him as the computer is brand new. I hung up. complete scam.
These scammers called me 4 times today before I actually answered the phone. I gave them a piece of my mind. The guy who could barely speak english kept calling me "mam" and saying that I was mistaken. Then he asked if I was accusing them of fraud!!!??? TOTAL SCAM.
