Over the last few months I have recieved 4 calls from a guy with an indian accent, telling me that he is able log on to my computer and i have many viruses. I got him talking for a while as i knew he was a fraud and then i told him i didnt even own a computer. This made him mad and he said why you waste my time and he hung up. Today i got a call again from an indian guy who said he is with the company who makes windows software but his not MicroSoft (What the heck!)and i asked many questions until another guy came on the phone, he was insisting my Windows operating system had corrupt files and i should go to my computer so he can help me resolve this issue. Usually it shows up private number, but today they called me 3 times and one time the number came up as 1 217 398-9755 . I finally asked the guy for his number and i will call him back and then i said i will call the 217 number he call me at, he hung up... What a joke these guys are!
Got the call today, we are in Alberta, Canada, like previously said, they guy said my computer is sending them lots of error reports & that I have been downloading lots of infected items, the funny thing is I havent used my computer in a very long time as I am now relying on the Ipad, so he asked me whether I had a laptop or a desktop, I played stupid & said that I didnt know, they I asked him if he knew who he was talking to or which party he really intended to reach, so he hung up!
I have received about 30 calls from this person. He just will not give up. I have told him that I know this is a scam, I don't have a computer, I'm contacting the police, take my number off the list etc. etc. etc. I'm getting sick and tired of the calls and don't know why he keeps calling back. By now he must know that I'm not going to listen to anything he has to say. The number that he calls from has changed over time. It started out as a blocked name and number. Earlier this week it was 112 345 6789 and today it was 1 217 398 9755.
This guy called, same accent as listed above. When he called it sounded like an auto dialler call. I waited for him to say something after I said hello. He did not so I said, Are you going to talk to me or not, and his reply was No F*** Y**.
He is now calling Mississauga/Toronto Ontario. This guy needs to be caged.
Yes he did make it Mississauga. I just got the call and he got really mad and slammed down the phone when i started questioning him.....
This a.m. I received a called from a woman named Rose who told me that she represented WINDOWS OPERATING SERVICE and that our computer, when we went onto the Internet, was downloading creepy (my word) files that would eventually compromise our computer. When I said I would prefer to have our daughter, who is not a dummie as I am, handle this situation, she said that all I had to know was how to turn on a computer, so I could handle it. I was about to go out so I asked her to call back at 5 p.m. our time. Seemingly, she was calling from California.I did call the number displayed on the telephone screen and it did say they were Microsoft. Hmmm.Anyway, luckily, my hubby was on SKYPE talking to Greece when she called so I could not access our computer.We called Microsoft and talked to a technician - he said Microsoft would never initiate a call, rather would reply to a customer who called with technical problems.He opened a case file and gave me an email address to report the spam: spam@uce.govOh yeah, as well, the phone number was 217-398-9755
We've received this call several times over the last couple of months. All times were a man with an East Indian (or something similar) accent. I knew about this scam going on and surprised actually the first time I received. I've just told them each time I am not interested and then hung up when he kept trying to talk to me. Like others above, it used to be an unavailable number but this last time was 217-398-9755. What the heck is wrong with these people....what thrill do they get out of buggering up people's computer??? I'm in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada so they are obviously everywhere!
