Got a call from a woman asking to speak to the owner of the business. Since I knew it was some unwanted telemarketer (I don't know anyone in South Carolina), I told her that this phone number wasn't that of a business. She sounded so disappointed that she wouldn't be able to scam me. Bummer for her.
Guy said he was with Microsoft and that my computer sent them error codes. He was calling to help walk me through the process of eliminating the errors. He wanted me to enter CMD or EVENTVWR to help him remove the bugs in my computer. I figured this was a scam and played with him for awhile by acting stupid. I accidently on purpose kept getting the letters I was supposed to enter incorrect. I asked him to send me the instructions or if there was a website I could go to, but he said he couldn't send the info and that a website wouldn't be specific enough for my computer. He started to get frustrated and said that I shouldn't waste his or my precious time and that if I wanted help he would provide it, but if I didn't want help then the problems with my computer would get worse and it would be my fault. I told him he was the expert from Microsoft and that I needed his help. He stopped talking and hung up. F'ing A-hole! I thought he wanted to help. ;-)
Got a call from this number, he said he was with Windows Technical Dept. He had a strong Middle East accent, so I asked him what do you want, my bank acct information? My personal information? How about my passwords? ok my password is Go F@*k Yourself...want me to spell it out? G O F U...He hung up...
I know they just called me and kept saying I have some corrupt files on my Microsoft computer. But he had a strong Indian accent and I couldn't understand what he was saying so finally I asked if I could speak to so,some who spoke English and he got pissed and hungup.
