I just got a call from a guy with a heavy Indian accent who said his name is Roger Williams. He said he was calling from Portland, OR and gave me the 971-217-9510 number. He said I had a virus and hackers were controlling my computer. I didn't believe a word the guy was saying, but played along to see what kind of information I could get from him.
I asked him what company he worked for and he said Windows. "Not Microsoft?" I asked. "Oh yeah," he said, "Microsoft." He said he was from Windows Technical Department that they had the registration number of our computer and that it had a virus. I told him we had several computers, so what was the registration number he had? He just repeated that we had a virus. I asked him what kind of computer? He said Windows. I told that was odd, since we don't have a Windows computer. He asked what kind of computer did we have. Not a Windows, I said and hung up.
