Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Gadgets & Tech Hoax : Microsoft Engineer Repairs Telephone Calls

I just ask them what type of underwear they are wearing, and they hang up

I have just had one of these con artists on to me at work. As we are a reasonably new company our telephone phone (which has obviously been recycled) still comes as residential and the guy thought he was talking to a homeowner. He told me that he was from Microsoft Window and that he was phoning about a large number of window errors that had been occuring on my computer. When I told him not possible he was most insistant that there was and that he wanted excess so he could scan the computer and do a remote repair. I told him no chance as firstly this was a company and secondly that we run Apple Macs here so we don`t have Windows. The phone went down extremely quickly.

So this guy is still operating (as a previous poster has said the man I spoke to sounded West Indian) in the area so be very careful not to let them into your computer.

This time the caller was from Talk Talk. . .
They have detected a problem with the router settings and believe you are vulnerable to attacks.
We would like to connect and correct the problem for you.


I'm with Sky Owned now Do one lol

I ask them if their English is good and if they say yes I send them on their way with a mouthful of Anglo Saxon. It makes me feel better. This mornings scam was that I was owed money from my bank due to the fee charges they'd made. Unfortunately it was an automated call, press this button if you're up for it and another button if you'd already been done.
