Called 4 times in a row and left a robo message of "Goodbye." Shows up as Yellowknife NT in Canada. I'm in the US and there's no reason I'd get a legit call from any business in Canada.
caller tried to warn me about "serious hidden infections on my computer from the internet world". asked that i go and check things on my apple computer (which i did not do). could not elaborate on the specifics of alleged "problems". was hostile when asked to not contact us again. kept going on how i would lose my computer if i did not take action now.
Their tactics seemed very fear mongering, especially how i was repeatedly told i was going to lose my computer. the caller also sounded like they were in a large room with lots of back ground noise, making me use my stern voice, like i was scolding a puppy, only i was practically yelling due to the background noise on their end. when asked what their company was and who they were calling on behalf of, all i was told was that the company was call "pc protection services".
my guess, the caller was going to direct me to some website that would install some fake or malicious virus scanner. the wold of fraud is ever so complex, people. best way to deal with things like this is to actually answer their call and tell them to not contact you in the future. dont just not answer!
