CALLER WITH HEAVY MIDDLE EASTERN ACCENT LEFT VOICEMAIL MESSAGE SAYING MY WINDOWS BASED MICROSOFT PC IS INFECTED AND SPREADING VIRUSES, AND THAT I NEED TO CALL THEM BACK IMMEDIATELY SO THAT THEY CAN "FIX" THE PROBLEM.
HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET.
A couple of calls so far. Haven't answered them and for sure now I'm not going to! Caller is listed as Johnathan Price.
Some crap about Windows, and I don't even have any computers with Windows!
When these callers call, I answer the phone and play along with their game. They explain who they are and states they have been getting warning reports about my computer. Last time she had asked do I know about these warnings. I stated yes. She comments, are you kidding with me. I went along with what she told me to do with the computer, (really not doing it), she asked what is on the screen I say it is just blank. She tells me what to do again and I say it is just blank. I then say maybe there is nothing wrong with my computer, she hangs up.
One time I answered and it was a man. I told him I have a friend who can fix the problem. He said my friend will need apps which will cost $400 - $500.00. I told him, no my friend could get them free from his work. The guy then raises he voice and yells the FBI will be notified and I will be getting a $4000.00 fine and hangs up.
This number comes up a few times a week. I will keep playing along to frustrate them till they figure out to take my number off their list.
