these people call daily they want access to your computer I am sure they are hackers. I tell them I have to turn computer on then to please hold then I put the phone down and go about my business til I hear that they have hung up. dont let them get into your computer. whats funny is they have done this as many as 4 times in a row, If I am keeping this guy busy he is not calling someone else
Wanted to know if I was the owner of the windows computer. Said it was sending a virus to the microsoft main server. I asked the guy who he was and he just repeated his ? With a rather indignent tone . I finally hung up on the guy
I received a call from this number yesterday afternoon. The scammer had a Indian sounding accent proceeded to tell me that was was from some company affiliated with MS Windows and that he had to access my Windows computer to get rid of a virus. I knew it was a scam so I just played along to waste his time. He wanted me to log on to me computer so I told him I had to connect to the internet. I found this YouTube video of AOL sound:

Played it a few times and kept telling him it was disconnecting. He hung up in frustration.
They hit me around 10:45 pm Monday night. Having woke me up I wasn't thinking clearly and somehow they managed to delete my virus protection and lock up my wife's computer. I will probably have 6-8 hours of my time restoring everything
They called tonight I did not bother to answer but now that I know what they are about I will be sure to not answer when I am sure they will call back again!
