Lol. Some leet call blocking going on there.

Shocking that people fall for this.

I got a call from "Microsoft service and support headquarters" Caller said with an indian accent that my pc is infected and needs to be maintened.
I told them that I run a mac and don't need their help.
After the caller became impolite I hung up...
I googled the phone number and found it on http://www.tellows.co.uk
You only have to insert the phone number and they show you a score of it, comments and where they're calling from. The call seems to be 100% scam!

omg i was just about to post this it happened to me they rang me about 5 times i hung up in the end i thought i would wind him up and go along with it after about ten mins on my pc pretending to type all the tasks in he wanted me to i said do you think am stupid i havent typed anything in this is a scam then the indian guy said you mother f,,ker and called me lots of other things so i guess it wasent microsoft the scumbag

I got a call from " John Williams from the UK" telling me my pc was infected.The fella could hardly speak English, and put the put the phone down on me in the end because i kept asking him if that was really his name.I put it on loudspeaker so my family could hear, it was quite funny .Thats my tactic every time i get spam/cold calls now.
