The caller has an Indian accent that's difficult to understand and claims he's trying to help me remove a virus from my computer. They have called twice, including at 10:00 pm.
Several calls yesterday and again this morning from people with Indian accents claiming to be from Microsoft or Windows telling us our computer is hacked and we need them to fix it. My caller ID shows Featherstone J, and superpages.com lists the number under Jerry H Featherstone, 1315 Hebron Dr Stanton, TN, 38069
Just got a call from this number. Caller ID said Somerville, TN. Guy with Indian accent saying he was from Microsoft Windows and my computer had a vurus. I knew it was a scam and asked if I could call him back to see what # I would get. He asked several times if he could call me back and each time I said I would call him and he hung up. Watch out. They want your credit card info.
Just reported this to our local attorney general's office. Was told the scammers likely "spoofed" the number so it isn't really who the caller id says it is. Also, they're likely trying to access our computer so they can lock it and charge us to unlock it. Advised ignoring the call altogether is the best way to make it stop. AG suggested filing a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center which is affiliated with the FBI. www.ic3.gov.
