[QUOTE="Nevi, post: 846085, member: 51565"] Yesteday I was called by a gentleman with such a thick accent, it was hard for me to understand him. He introduced himself as "Microsoft employee". "We can see on our servers, that your computer is about to be hacked"! LOL really? I was thinking "new tech support scam". At that time I knew more or less this was BS, but I wanted to hear some more. "So please sir, open your computer and we will fix this very fast"! That was enough so I hung up and blocked the number. In the afternoon my phone rang again from another number. When I took it, a thick accent greeted me (sigh), and started to talk about Microsoft again. When the woman (They are diverse,lol) started her BS, I said "but hey, I dont have a computer!!!" 2 or 3 seconds with complet silence, and then she hung up, and I blocked the number. I have not seen or heard about this one before. But they will probably get some new computer owners. Their biggest flaw, is the thick accent. If you know just a little bit about computer fraud, they give themself away just by talking. So if someone with a heavy accent (Africa-India I simply cant tell) call you "from Microsoft" save some time, just hang up and block the number.😂😂 [/QUOTE]
