Both my wife and her brother got the same phone call today. A guy with an East Indian type accent called our house today and told my wife he worked for Windows and that her computer was sending error messages to their server. He was very hard to understand but what she did understand is he wanted her to go on to her computer and enter certain commands to fix the problem. Being computer savvy, she basically told him to take a hike and hung up on him. About an hour later her brother called (he lives about 90 mins from here) and told her he had the same phone call. Be careful with this one. I assume he is trying to access computers to hijack them for who knows what...
email : info@phonebusters.com RCMP scam catchers....anytime I get spam or lottery crap I just forward it to the Police, they have a team dedicated to crap like this. They also have a 1800 #. I have call display, If its unknown or private, long distance and I dnt know the number I always let it go to voicemail
My wife got the call at work yesterday, I got the call at work today. I googled the phone number and it comes from the Seattle area.
He went on and on and on. As he was going on and on and on I said "Thanks but we are quite happy with how our computers are working" and pushed the release button on my phone.
The next time he calls I won't be so cordial. He's had his chance.
