started to harass me
Same story- jerk said he had money for college and was affiliated with the "US Department of Grants."
I'm all, huh, never heard of the US Dept. of Grants. Maybe you could tell me which branch of government they work for.
He responds, well how am I supposed to know that?
Well, if you work for the gvt. you'd know.
I say, well, maybe you can provide me with a website that has more information.
He says it isn't up yet but it will be whatever.com.
I'm all, odd, because government websites usually end in .gov.
He goes, I don't know why that is. How would I know?
Well, if you work for the gvt. you'd know.
This guy is a totally scammer. Ignore the hell out of him.
Got a call today from an Indian gentleman with a very thick accent. He knew my name and told me my computer was having problems and he could help. Played with him for 10 minutes or so. He was very patient. I think he got wise when I told him my computer was a Commodore 64. Tried to get me to go to www.support.me, a website owned by a legit company called Logmein. He can use that site to access your computer if you enter a six digit code he will provide. Obviously, you shouldn't enter the code, but if you get as far as getting him to give you the code, you can report it to the folks at Logmein (866-478-1805, though you might be on hold for a while) and they can trace it to his IP and shut it down. Of course, he'll find another scam, but that's the Eternal Battle!
Caller wants me to access my computer to download error cleaning software. Says they are aware of multiple errors on my computer. I have repeatedly told them not to contact me. They use various phone numbers from various locations
Caller with an east Indian or pakastanian accent asks for someone who is not here. I blew them off with the promise on legal action. This is the fifth call from this San Antonio number this month.
