Just had phone call from Microsoft Security Center (foreign voice) saying my pc running slow. So, led him up the garden path for a bit then said 'I don't understand why M/S would have any interest in my pc, it's running Linux. How much do you know about Linux?'
Silence from the other end of the phone! Also, silly person left me his phone no on caller id. He may well be getting some spam soon!
These scammers must targeting certain areas. I have had two phones calls in the last two weeks. One from Microsoft Security Center (foreign voice) and Government Claims Office. So these scammers are going thought their wish.
If I get a call from a 'concealed number' or an 08**** number I usually answer it with; 'Who's trying to sell me something this time?'
Most of the time callers hang-up.
I keep getting calls about an accident I had recently (I don't actually recall an accident other than a minor scuffle with a lorry about a year ago which I didn't bother reporting). I have SOOOOO much fun with them..........
Scam call is a big issue for the people, many of them gets con from these types of calls. Call comes from various unregistered call centers. To avoid these kind of calls, try to ignore them them and just report it as a scam so that other users can come to know about fake calls. If one face any problem then call go4customer, a leading call center and always give the genuine reply to their customers.
