SCAM. I've received two calls from them today. Both callers had thick accents and said they were calling from Windows support regarding my Windows computer. I knew from the start it was BS, because a) my primary computer is a mac, and b) I don't give out the landline number which they called. The first time, I immediately asked them to verify which computer they were calling about, and they hung up. The second time, I let it go a little further, just to see what they were going to ask for - they said that they were receiving error messages from my computer, and were calling to provide support regarding malware that was recently downloaded to my computer. They asked me to go to my computer, get a piece of paper and pen, and to shut down my computer. By the time we got to that point, I was bored again, so I told them that I am on the DNC registry, they should not be calling this number unless we have a pre-existing business relationship, and that if they were legitimate, they would be able to provide more information about the computer from which they were receiving error messages (and if they couldn't, that I would be reporting this number). They hung up again (surprise!)
fix my computer. for good.
Caller ID said, Crystal. Didn't answer but thanks to all of these comments, I will be prepared. Grateful for the forewarnings! :)
This number with caller ID "Crystal" has called my phone many, many times. Today I finally answered it and they hung up. I can't believe these shysters aren't rounded up and thrown in jail.
Caller ID said crystal had this number a guy with an accent came on claiming to be from Microsoft that my computer was in danger asked if I was in front of my computer if not turn it on and he would walk me threw the process of protecting it I said there's nothing wrong with my computer he said you don't want to protect your information I said I don't have any information on it so no thank you he said ok mam you can fuck off I said excuse me your rude he said yes fuck off I said no you can and hung up on him...
