I have received several call from NODID 253-820-3089 and usually don't answer. Today, I did answer and "Oscar" was on the other line. He stated he was with Microsoft and spoke with an Indian accent. He stated my computer was full of recently downloaded viruses. I asked him to prove to me how I would know that he was from Microsoft and he provided me what he called my computer id. I could hardly understand the numbers and letters he was saying due to his accent. I told him I didn't believe he was with Microsoft and asked if I could have a number to verify this and call him back at. The number he provided was 1-807-521-9241. He stated to ask for Technical Support when I called back. He also asked me several times if my computer was running currently, so he could provide assistance. He then hung up on me when I stated I wasn't interested in his help. I called the 1-807-521-9241 and that number was disconnected. So, I googled the number on my caller id and found the complaints above. Creepy!
August 15,2012: at 2:03 received call from 253-820-3089, Indian speaking man said calling fromicrosoft and my computer was showing signs of crashing, to please allow him to help me stop this from happening. I asked when he noticed it, he said when I was on lime an hour ago, I told him he was wrong, my computer was hit by lighting 1 week ago and I haven't replaced it yet, I told him to do his scam somewhere else and what would his religious leader think of him being involved in a deceitful act. He hung up.
Love it when those "[***]" call my land line...because I installed it just for them. They call...and get nothing! I have another phone with a number known only to friends and relatives...so the only thing I don't get are the CONSUMATE JERKS who speak English poorly. Sure would love to meet them in person. Could you please forward this to their phones?
I got a call from the Indian guy at 4pm today asking if my computer was running slow. I had him repeat who he was. my callerid came up as 1253-8203089 in Washington. Since I have friends in Wash state I answered it. guy said he was from WindowsCure. I had him spell it. Then I asked his name which he said was Shahin something. He kept on about slow Windows!! That made me mad because I knew it was a predatory call. He probably does get $$ from folks this way. . I run MACs at home and I'm in the field. I told him that I was going to report him into the Scam police and the BBB. I told him that he had no business making calls like this. I told him never to call again. I'm still mad! I kept him on the phone for at least 10 minutes with my complaints, then I hung up. Like someone said earlier, he was hard to understand with the heavy accent. But I pretty good with American!!
Why did you partially delete the term "[***]"...a perfectly good word you will find in the dictionary or possibly, in your case, the "Dicktionary".
Actually, I kind of enjoy these random phone calls...when they end up on my land line phone. I have a private cell phone for my friends....never use the "land line"....but they are dumb enough to keep calling. Some day I will answer in "German". That should blow their minds......
Another con call from India - Your PC is infected....again! Pity that they cannot find a better way to earn a living. I suggest that western companies move their call centres from India.
I get the same call all the time so I finally decided to answer but instead of a normal hello I answered with you have call the international hot line for mental health we have recorded your phone number and your location and are sending the police and mental health authorities please stay calm and someone will be there shortly. Ah needless to say they started yelling NO NO and hung up it ws so hard not to laugh and no calls since . I'm adding this comment only because my neighbor just got the call and I told them what I had done. :)
Same guy with Indian accent calling to tell me my Microsoft computer needed something. I told him i didn't have a microsoft computer in my best "seriously how f'in dumb do you think we are" tone of voice and he proceeded with, "what kind of computer do you have, Apple, Orange, Pear?" I told him to get a life and hung up but please warn your more gullible and trusting family members and friends. I know my mother-in-law would have fallen for this hook, line and sinker.
