This  is      the   second time  they have attempted to   tell me  that i am  having   issues with  my PC  i  laughed and  told him  how  could that be if  was not  a  windows  user. I  proceeded to  tell him  he was  either making an  attempt  to  hack my computer or  scam with  some BS and  asked him which one was it  he  said  it was an  emergency  to   fix and  update my windows PC  and  again i  laughed  telling  him he  was mistaken because I  run Linux . He  hung up  

...called me tonight in the 303 Area Code (Colorado).  Told me my Windows computer had a problem.  I told him that all we have in our house is Unix Servers and a Cray Supercomputer.  I told him that Microsoft has not written any software for those machines and that he should go f*** himself.

These guys just keep calling don't they.  Well I turned the tables on them.  I wasn't paying attention and picked up the phone and with some quick thinking answered IT department how may I help you, the guy started his speal, I said again IT department what is your computer problem and he got so confused and started again giving me our name and came back and said this is a business IT department what is your computer problem now he is really confused and said he was supposed to call homes not businesses and hung up.  It is to bad that NSA can't use their tools to track these scammers isn't it.

I got a phone call today about my computer sending error messages. I knew it was a scam as soon as they told my about my misbehaving computer. I played along and he wanted me to press window key + r to open the run command. He told me to type in eventvwr which I didn't but I told him I did. He asked how many events I saw. I told him 5 and he couldn't believe it. He wanted me to do it again. I told him I would just call our Computer Technical Support person to assist me and he didn't want me to. He gave me a number and asked me to call him back. I don't think I will do that and I blocked his phone number. What a pig. Thanks for all the laughs. I think I will look up Hindi cuss words next time.

"Microsoft"  computer maintenance scam.  Guy with thick Asian accent told me I needed to update my Windows software and they would help me to fix it.  Told them to stick it where the sun don't shine.  I run Linux.  I have heard of people who fall for this.  They install ransomeware and make you pay to have it removed.
