Pingging to Dayglored. If anybody would have a good take on this it is Dayglored.
My son warned me to turn my computer OFF when not in use, because it’s never really off in sleep mode.
Also, what is the extension name for these files, please?
Are you two hops from Carter Page by any chance?
“Better half and I sometimes do whoops, hollers and sexual suggestions so as to make ‘em think we have a thriving sex life. All in fun”
That would just make them think you were crazy, seeing how you were being video recorded at the time.
Non-US date format. Software probably written by someone outside of the US. So my guess would be NOT a "big name" program or one that's part of bloatware on the laptop.
Yeah, they sure do look like timestamps. I have a program that I used daily to record Sirius Patriot programs with a scheduler, and it writes files that look like that.
However, if this is an actual filename from a laptop purchase as new a week ago, I doesn't seem logical that to have a timestamp from 2017. Perhaps it was imported from a backup when the OP retrieved files from his recently-deceased machine.
I'd wonder if the OP has been able to discern the 'freshness' of these conversations in which he recognizes his voice. It ought to be easy enough to say 'I remember talking about that the other day'. For some mundane conversation from September of 2017, not so much...
First thing I'd do -- after running Malwarebytes and another security tool or two -- would be to locate where these files are stored on the machine.
Notice he said laptop and not MacBook, so it must be a Windoze machine.
It’s why I won’t own such a piece of trash. Apple all the way!

re: “Non-US date format. “
EASILY sortable in a directory though ...

You live in China. You are an apologist for the Chinese. Who the hell do you think is recording you, it is not too hard to figure out. Sheesh. It is your Chinese overlord. Enjoy your Chinese life.
“The filenames are clearly timestamps. i.e.
170901_1554.mp3 would be
Sept 1, 2017 3:54PM”
How did you convert that?! I’m so excited. I need to save and print some text message conversations. I’ve saved the conversations, which are .VZM files. I change the extension to .TXT or .DOC, and I get a big mess on the screen, which I can go through and “clean up”, via search-and-replace, adding paragraphs, etc. BUT the dates and times aren’t there except in this numerical format.
I think I could save the files as .CSV, and format the cells/columns with this info. I would just need to know the format to use.
I guess the author was making phone calls from the computer using something like Skype (recording in Skype began with version 8). And then the techie “smart” person did not realize they had record turned on in Skype when they made those calls. Sometimes we are so smart we are dumb.
I seriously doubt anything else put anything like their land line or cell phone calls on their old laptop computer, or had them in the cloud and mysteriously got them into the new laptop.
The only serious way they got to the new laptop was that they were actually there in the old lap top, and thus the back ups from it, and using something like Skype to make calls from the computer is the most likely way they got there.
That’s similar to the format I us when I use the date in a file name. You need to have the year first, in order to sort properly.

He makes it clear in the comments there, that these files came from his old computer. They weren’t visible on the old computer, but when he transferred all the files from his old computer to an external drive, they became unhidden.
Bullshit post.
Notice that this is copied from another website, where it appeared a couple of weeks ago. The OP writes it up here as if it just happened to him.
Pretty fishy...

The first two digits are the year, as in 2017. The next two digits are the month and the last of the first set of digits is the date. Following the underscore is the time based on a 24-hour clock. |
Yes, you are recorded in China. We found and understood such in '04 when my company was asked by China to move their heavy vehicles to air suspension.
There is also the Chineese Mofia that follows/tracks every foreigner once they get off the airplane.
The State Department also monitors communication from China to the USA which would include this thread.

FYI, the State Department told us that we should NOT go back to China for any reason.
Was it Cortana?
