989-917-0698 called claiming to be answering a service call from "Windows Service Center". They are not legit. Just trying to get access to my system. Refused to authenticate themselves.
person claims to want to fix problems with my Windows. she said she was calling from California but area code is MI!
this number has been calling us repeatedly
Got a call from 989-917-0658, claiming to be Windows Service Dept. Noisy background and would not give details. He said I was having trouble with my computer and to go open it and he would walk me through the problem. Told him I wasn't having a problem repeatedly and asked why he was calling. He said, yes you are, trust me I can help you. I hung up. Called the number back and message says the number cannot be accessed. It's a scam.
I pretended to go along while pulling this up. I immed. knew it was bogus because they were calling from
"the windows", Indian accent so very thick, noisiest call center ever (inc. yelling in background). I went from
Steve to Lisa to Jane (LOL names) because I could not understand what they were saying. As if I didn't know,
I saw this page as further evidence it was bogus. (This has been going on for years; 80's lottery cons to
current "you computer velly bad" ruse from "the windows")
So when they wanted me to turn on my computer and locate the c-t-r-l key and look for key with window picture next to it and
press it and "R" key at "the velly same time" I told her I wanted to punch her in the face. The ensuing velly foul tirade was, as
they say, PRICELESS!! I hope next time I'll think to record it for entertaining utubers. (possible title - "Slumdog Hillbillies" )
