[ALERT] Fake Tech Support Scammers Are Calling - Comments Page 4

This has been going on for ages in the UK. The callers are always from an Indian call centre but give themselves English names and you can never understand a word they say as their accent is so bad.I just play around with them to waste their time and pretend to follow their instructions. When asked who they wanted to speak to they give the name of the previous owner who moved out in 2002.

Received this e-mail this morning. It didn't come from Google, the IP address is located in Wichita Kansas and several reverse phone lookup sites list the number as scam-related. I'm sure they'd enjoy getting calls from anyone and everyone! Enjoy:

I did not get a phone call. I instead got a message / warning on my PC to call Microsoft asap and to not turn off the computer. When I checked the phone number it was not for MS customer support. I turned off my PC and ran a virus scan and sure enough my PC was infected. Fortunately I was able to resolve the issue.

lets just say I drive these idiots crazy when they call me HAHAHA (use your WILDEST imagination)
