meade916 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Beware of this Telephone Scam! "Microsoft" Says Your Computer Has a Virus.. the reason i am posting this is because they have tried to call me twice on our rarely used land-line. The wife got the first one and came to me concerned with the phone in her hand. She said "someone from Microsoft is calling about a virus on the computer"... I said "gimme that". The guy had hung up. It was a private number. i thought nothing of it really until the next day they called back. This time, i answered. She said "sir, we have reason to believe you have a virus on your computer and we need to fix it right away". I look down at my water cooled GAMING RIG with all the bells and whistles and i say "bitch, you don't know anything about my computer" she said "excuse me sir, but we need you to type in this we address to try to resolve this virus". I said "you must not have heard me, don't know shit about my pc so why are you calling"? she, in her "east indian" voice (guessing), says, "please watch your language" and hung up. Private call again so i couldn't call back. Havent got one since. I know you guys aren't dumb enough to fall for this but make sure you tell the wife and kids!

-X-RaTeD- Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 This happened to my friends mom about 3 months ago, and she let whoever it was remote into her pc and install "a/v" software and gave her credit card info and everything.

Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH8PunkRok Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Really? This is such a lame attempt at a scam. Who would believe that a huge company like Microsoft cares about a virus on your computer...

Dwn4BassAlan Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 my favorite trick in the book is the, "Hey Old Friend, Me and the companion are not home ion USA, (and clearly while we went on vacation we forgot how to speak proper english) so we're sending this emergency email to you, internationally of course, because we need money, and lot's of it to save us. Thanks you."

Everytime I see a guy driving a mini cooper I cant help but think he loves cock & (2/29/16)-My wife just bitched at me about throwing out things we don't really use. My response of well we don't really use your vagina so should we throw that out was evidently not the right response. I had to leave the room. I missed Alan. RIP 5/29/15 - I love you son.

Normally they will start a Team Viewer session to "help" you while they are getting the info from you and then crash your machine by deleting drivers and files.
