This weekend in the morning I received a call on my cell phone, which I keep close by in the night for possible emergencies.
The man said this is so and so from Microsoft - how are you today. He had a very strong sounding and pounding voice. The accent was a mix of mid eastern/African, etc. WTH?
I'm in the middle of a rem cycle and not a happy camper about this call. I said DO NOT CALL ME AT 7:00 IN THE MORNING - EVER. Not only was his voice loud and controlling and annoying, but calls at those times seem to alarm me.
Don't know what the call was for, but I have a feeling that it was a scammer. I did not call Microsoft and I do not have any tech problems here.
Good grief, what a terrible time to call anyone, weekend or not, but esp. weekends.
Has anyone else ever had a call like this? And, if so, what can you tell me.
Thank you.
Quoting: Ms. Superduper Yes, it is a common scam as of late. They call and say that your computer is compromised. You need to give them money and personal information and they will fix your computer. If you don't give them money, bad things will happen to you and your computer. Apparently it works on little old people... the folks who are in their 70's and older who have computers. Tell them to stop calling. I did tell him, surprisingly very calmly: Do not ever call here at 7 a.m. and hung up. The ONLY reason I even answered the phone without seeing who it was, is that I want to be available for family members (who actually know my schedule and wouldn't call unless it was an emergency). Interesting, isn't it, that so much other irrelevant, yet political mandates can be had and these scams are just allowed to continue with their wickedness. They can find out who's doing what through phones, tvs and iphones but could not locate these people and make it cease, whether it be through some international means or just plain track their numbers and make them null and void as far as calls coming in to this country. That's not a crazy idea when you think of all of the other intrusions are thrust on us by the ungovernment. I totally understand, I am frequently on call 24/7 in the event of an emergency at work, so I pick up the phone many times without looking to see what the caller ID says. Remember the Do Not Call List? Gee, that has really served us well! LOL I am wondering if the do not call list simply provides a reference guide of numbers for telemarketers. The wrinkle in all of this is the calling centers for these are located outside of the US. I suspect, they are not bound by the US regulations to not call.
