Posted February 23, 20159 yr FPCH Admin comment_849844 My daughter was at my house this afternoon when she received a telephone call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft Technical Support. The man on the phone had a foreign accent and identified himself as Amanda. :D He proceeded to explain to her that her computer was infected but that he could take care of it by connecting remotely. She had him on speaker phone. She told him she doesn't use Windows that she has nothing but Apple / Mac because Windows sucks. The scam artist yelled into the phone F$#@ You and hung up on her. AND That's how she handled it. :big_ha: ~I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.~ ~~Robert McCloskey~~

The other from the same person with same number a couple hours later telling her he was from the IRS and there was a problem with her tax refund. I wonder if these people are inherently stupid or what. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
February 23, 20159 yr comment_849847 Your daughter is very smart. I have a whistle in my desk drawer. I blow it as hard as I can. I have received a answer "Are you crazy?" I say yes I'm crazy and if you call again I will report you! I tried to report one and it doesn't do any good, even if you have the phone number. They wanted to send someone to my house and take a report. Hell I gave them the phone number. What's to report. :rotf: Some times you're the wind shield. Some times you're the bug!!:(
February 24, 20159 yr comment_849853 These calls have been around for months. I get them here regularly. I am polite and say "This call is being recorded" Most say F/U and slam the phone down in my ear.:big_grin: Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm Schizophrenic, and so am I Free Photo Restoration and Repair for all Forum members - CLICK HERE Please pop back and let us know if your Computer problem has been solved.
February 24, 20159 yr comment_849887 I am convinced the majority of them are using Verizon DSL lists because 98% of my customers who have had these are on Verizon. I mean if you were on Vz and got a call saying we see your internet is dog slow they would most certainly agree and that agreement is the way any good scam artists starts his scam!
