Foreigner called wanting to talk about my windows computer. Haven't used windows since I was 10. Knew it was a scam call and hung up, blocked number and reported to FTC. DONT ANSWER! SCAM CALL!
Stupidly I answered. Chinese accent or similar. Said it was about my windows operating system on my computer. I told him I didn't know what he was talking about, I said thank you and hung up.
He called back. I didn't answer. He had the audacity to leave a message, he said "hey you, you [***], listen to me" and hung up!!
These people need to be stopped!!
'Edward' from New Jersey called to tell me my computer was sending error messages and his company was authorized to help me resolve the problem. I told him my computer contained All my identification and credit information and it would be really bad if it was generating error messages. By them time I really think I could hear him salivating over the phone. He asked me to look at the lower LH side of the keyboard. When I told him it didn't have a keyboard, he kept asking if it was a laptop.... Yes, you are not listening! It is a laptop running surface software and has no keyboard. I told him it had a liquid display. He ask what the lower LH icon was? I told him it was a golden square. After going around and around with my computer getting more and more sophisticated, he asked about the list of programs. I said there was not a list, only icons. With this information he was totally confounded and he said good bye.
Within two minutes he was calling back. I guess he didn't want to admit defeat on a computer I have not turned on in months and had such a fantastic operating system.
I even prefaced my monolog with the statement that he really didn't think I was stupid enough to give him control of my computer. He glossed over that statement.
My relevation that my computer held All my credit card info made him deaf to everything else I said.
After the initial hang up, he called two more times but unfortunately I had already blocked his call. Damn, ..... I was having so much fun tying up this [***] hole so he couldn't call anyone else. You see I'm retired and I look forward to these guys for entertainment!
Caller stated my computer was sending crash messages from my windows and iits funny because I have an Apple so it couldn't be sending a a windows crash message. When I asked who he was what he was calling about a 2nd time they hung up. He kept telling me to look at me screen and tell him what it said.
Same BS really windows. Told him I didn't have a computer. He got all flummoxed and told me I did. Told him the same again. Then asked him what cap he was trying to peddle. And to get a real job. No computer really throws them off the script.
