Computer scan! Claimed I had a severe virus. Told her I was not interested and I was reporting this to the FCC!
(this scam has been going on for quite some time, something needs to be done ASAP!)
Stated that they were providing a service to check if we were one of the thousands of people in our area that had experienced computer hacking issues. Requested that I log onto my computer and follow their directions. I stated that I did not currently have access to my computer and requested the instructions so I could check for myself. The female representative then got a male representative to speak to me requesting that I log onto my computer. I asked why I couldn't check this myself later and he said something about me not knowing all the people in the world. I said that's rediculous and it has absolutely nothing to do with my computer. I then told him that I did not believe him. He became upset and told me I was rude. I told him that was alright I was saying good-bye now. He said GOOD-BYE? GOOD-BYE? and he hung up.
They said my computer was being hacked by hackers that were in my area.
A woman with heavy East Indian accent stated that she was calling about my computer. She alleged that it was heavily infected with virus. I hung up on her and called back the numeber on my caller ID. The number was a "spoof".
Caller offered to help me insure the security of my computer and internet connection.
