Has anyone else gotten phone calls from Indians in a PhD ne tank with heavy accents claiming to represent Windows, warning you that they have “received signals malware may have been put on your computer”? They called several times. I finally put them on call screening.
After telling them to go urinate up a snake rope.
Phone tank. Dang auto correct.
Macafee tells me I’m OK.
Rumor is a lot of those Indian Microsoft fraud calls are from legitimate help centers in their off hours.
In other words, legitimate Indian computer help centers that are contacted by Dell, HP, etc to help their customers are doing the fraud calls from their customer lists in the off hours. Dell, HP, etc are innocent in this, the contracted call centers go rogue on their own. Beware. Don’t give anyone remote control of your computer, unless you know who they are and called them first.
I have had several customers come in that had been scammed by this, one to the tune of $600, another $700, ( he finally had the presence of mind to cancel all his accounts) These B@*turds take advantage of elderly and naive people by scaring them and intimidating them.
