I got a call from this guy this morning. Said that they found problems with my windows computer. Asked him for his location, company name and phone number so i could have some friends call him back (just to get some info out of him) His name was Alex (he was indian, so that was a lie). Gave the name of the company as Windows Service Pro 24/7 IT, an said he was based in Illinois. The in-bound call came from 602-795-8662, but the number he gave me for the call back was 929-382-7316.
In case anyone is wondering, it's a scam. Don't let give these guys any information. I liked what Robert did keeping him on the phone for 30 minutes. nice!
They called to tell me they were from Microsoft and there was a problem with my computer. I asked where he was calling from and he said Illinois but it was a New York area code. He asked me to turn on my computer so that he could ruin a diagnostic test. I asked him his name and he said it was Chris Jones. He had a very heavy East Indian accent. Knowing it was a fishing scam I said my computer was broken and would not boot (fabrication) besides I have a MAC. He said please turn it on because he could help me. I asked him to hold. About every 5 minutes I would ask him if he was still there and purposely kept him on the phone for about a half hour and finally told him to call back tomorrow. I then hung up.
