That's why they use a forged 780 area code - it makes people more likely to pick it up. It's the typical India-based fake Microsoft scam call.
We have the phone number of our local RCMP computer crime department - and tell fake Microsoft callers that we ARE having problems, thanks for calling, and please call our tech department at....
Got a call from this woman with a very strong east indian accent and she told me that she was calling from cloud 9, microsoft. She told me that they had detected that I had malware and adware that was on my computer. I asked her how she knew. She didn't answer but kept on with her shpeel. I hung up. 30 seconds later they called back but I let the call go to voice mail. No message was left. I tried to call the number and only recieved a busy signal
DONT GIVE ANY DETAILS TO THIS GUY.Guy from Windows 8 said I had corrupted software and sent me to these sites and got mad at me because I couldn't find the green button, which the site was yellow and blue. He started to yell at me saying I was "trying to joke around with him and that I was wasting his time" then persuaded to ask me my name, age, and my Facebook account, to which I did not give him, then wouldn't stop asking me my name.
Said he was from Microsoft. He knew my name and kept asking me where my computer was in my home. Other than that he was hard to understand. I got impatient and told him he doesn't make sense, then he hung up on me.
Something to do with Windows 7 and Microsoft products and about my PC's having viruses everytime I boot up. This morning it was Unknown Name and Unknown Number. Yes, he gave me his name couldn't remember. Had a accent, but NOT from North America or Europe. He seemed to think that I was stupid that I did not like Bill Gates because he was a very rich man. Seemed to know that we have RCMP in Canada, ironically 780 is our area code. I called that number back (while call blocking) & it went into a fax...AFTER that tried with SKYPE... and call blocking again. Then all of a sudden it went into a fast busy and it was NOT possible to get thru. So that is twice today.
