Callers says he is from windows support, VERY bad english, wants to show that I have a virus that is harming my computer. Would have you look up an find a file that everyone has and say how bad it is. I would not stay on with him long enough to know what the rip off part is but probably buying something from them. SCAM
Got a call today they just said hello & hung up. But here's the thing, not more than half an hour earlier my laptop locked up. Screen said something to the effect that Microsoft is locking my computer because it's been affected by a virus & to call some 844 phone # for support from Microsoft & they'd tell me how to remove it. Now my laptop won't work anymore because it's got a virus.
Call from "Microsoft tech support"... my computer has a virus. I like to act shocked and helpless and then ask "will this cost a lot? do you want my credit card number now? do you need my social security number too?" They usually say yes and then after a pause, they say something rude and hang up. Schmucks.
