As above, except I kept the guy on the line for 10 minutes and made him go through his whole routine. He was just telling me that my computer was corrupted when I told him I thought HE was corrupt and told him where to go. Incredibly, even after I swore at him, he didn't hang up but kept asking: "what you are telling?". He phoned back twice! It's fun to string these guys along.
Scam telemarketing calls originating from this message... Calls being placed since August 24th, 2015. Caller has an accent (perhaps East Indian??).... He advised that he was calling to 'help with the computer'. My mother answered the incoming landline phone call when he called shortly after 7am, pst. BEWARE: HE MAY BE TARGETING SENIORS. We live in Southern BC, Canada. When I checked this number on line, I found that '980' area code is from the Charlotte North Carolina area & the Service Carrier is Time Warner Cable. I found 3 other 'warning' comments from recipients who have received 'scam' calls from this same phone number (between August 24th and September 3rd). The name on the Call Display showed as 'Unavailable'. One comment online advised that the Caller relayed that he was "Windows Tech Support"; Another comment advised that when the recipient of the call asked for a number 'to call back' to the caller, the caller hung up. The 3rd comment indicated that they were not picking up the call, and that they were being called repeatedly from this number. THIS IS A SCAM TELEMARKETING CALL.

I just received a call from this number and I did not pick it up. They wont be able to call anymore as I have blocked the number in my phone. One of the many scam people in this world.
Got a call from them today. He said he was from the technical department for my computer. When he said all that, I said "yeah, right" in a mock-laughing tone. He hung up. All the strife and grief in the world and these people can't even be bothered to put something original into their scamming. Sad, sad world.
They are definitely targeting people for money. When I answer I hear a voice saying goodbye. It sounds very weird like a woman from a different country with a whispering voice. Everytime I get a call from a real person I ask to be removed from their list and tell them I am keeping track and usually they don't call back. They called 9/10/2015.
