This guy is persistent. He called Saturday during a Derby Party we were having. We had 17 people at the house plus 5 children under the age of 3. I told him I couldn't talk. He said he'd call back in an hour. I said, "did you hear me? We're in KY and today is the Kentucky Derby and I have a large group of people here. Plus do you hear that baby crying?" He called back 3x this morning but I was not able to take the call. He just called back I had him repeat several times who he represented. He claims PC Wizards. I knew from the get-go this is a scam. Companies like his have been on the consumer alert reports of local TV stations, but I wanted to hear his schpiel. Much like the other callers, he requested I press Ctrl and the Windows button at same time. I refused. He assured me he was trying to "help" me since he got a report that our computer had errors and harmful programs on it, yada, yada, yada. I asked where was he located since I have a fake Virginia number appearing on caller ID. He said Las Vegas. Asked if his business was listed with the Better Business Bureau of Las Vegas or Nevada. He took the question in a different direction. I reminded him he wasn't answering my question. He said, "What do you want to know about my business, I can tell you anything you want."I said, "OK, as long as I'm in front of the computer and you're not giving me an answer, let me do a search of the BBB myself." Of course, nothing came up as being registered with the BBB and I told him that, I told him we were also on the Federal DO NOT CALL list. "Do you know what that means?" I asked him. He said yes. I said, "Goodbye." He was still yapping as I was hung up. I wasn't born yesterday. This company is trying to get me to hand over control of our computer and it's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. And I hope he reads this!!!!!!!
