foreign accent caller calls at ramdom times says he is with microsoft windows,says a lot of BS, this time i just started laughing and did not say a word just kept laughing, he hung up
I'm sure these creeps just want access to your computer. I've had "words" with them before and told them to never call me again..that was several months ago. We got a call from another one this morning at 7:30 a.m. The caller ID shows V03040930470009 but there is a little side arrow which when I press the side "enter" toggle button takes me to 929-555-0175. My husband had "words" with him this morning and hung up on him...he is very persistent and has an East Indian accent....he asked my husband if he could speak English!!
I got a call from these SCAM guys this morning.
1st Caller ID:
UNKNOWN NAME
929-555-0175
It started out with a guy speaking bad English (sounded like he was from India).
He is telling me my computer was sending errors to their server.
Then after a few steps he has me type into the computer, he say's that he needs to transfer me to someone else - he starts to transfer me to someone else and I hung up.
I get a call back from these guys. The same noise is in the background.
This time 2nd Call D shows:
TEXAS
210-526-6628
I ask him where he is located and he tells me New York.
Then why does the caller ID show Texas I ask.
Our server is located someplace else he says. Our server called you.
After making like I am following his directions:
I enter on the left side the Microsoft Windows key and R
a Command Window opens and now he tells me to type in: eventvwr
Well at this point I know he is trying to do something to my PC or get my credit card information..
I make like I am following his instructions again but it gets to the point that I suspect he knows that 1- I ma an Idiot or 2 - leading him along. But No, he thinks I am not doing something correctly.
I decide to end the call and tell him I am not buying into his Scam.
He continues to talk to try to convince me I need to do this.
I told him I was wasting his time but he try's to threaten me that, I am very foolish and sort of indicates he will do something to my computer.
I hung up and did a Google Search for - eventvwr and came up with articles on the Scam.
