Man with thick East Indian accent called tonight, said he knew we had a problem with our computer. Then he said "I need you to log on to your computer." Then he said "I can see that you have a problem with your computer, I need you to log on." We did not comply and just hung up the phone. Earlier today I did call Qwest (now CenturyLink) with a technical issue about my internet service. MAYBE his call was a coincidence or maybe he's hacked into the QWEST computer system.
Person asked if I had computer problems and wanted to help fix them. Used profanity after I asked to be put on do-not-call list. Terrible Indian accent - almost impossible to understand. Very staticy connection - they could barely hear me either. If you call them back the number is not real. They called me many, many times and there is no one there.
Just got a call. He said his name is Rodney. Yeah right! with that distinctively Indian accent. Obviously a scam. And he said that they had received a COMPLAINT! from whom? what is the name of your company, I asked. Beware of this scam!
Same experience, said he was from some company with "Global" in the name. Difficult to understand. Wanted to know if my computer was switched on. Said their had been a report of a problem via Microsoft error reports, but he isn't with Microsoft. When I challenged him with "do not call" list he said "Let me tell you how I can help you..." I ended up hanging up on him.
