Obviously, this is a scam. They claim to be from "Windows Service Center" or some bullshit. Anyway, we're too smart for this shit, but obviously a lot of people have fallen for it or they wouldn't keep calling. And now they've started calling me. I'm starting this thread for three reasons.
1 - Awareness
2 - To update you guys in the event they keep calling, especially so we can come up with new ways to fuck with them (you'll see what I mean momentarily)
3 - In the event you've been dealing with them
So here's what I've had so far...
Call 1:
"Hello?"
"Hello sir, this is William with Windows technical support."
*Sounded more like a Babagamesh, but whatever*
"Okay, how can I help?"
"Yes, we have received several errors coming from your Windows serial code-"
"Oh really? Hey, what was that code. I'm in front of my computer right now."
*Long pause*
"Well...it's...uh..."
*Rattles off a long and obviously made up code*
"Oh, okay, excellent. Hey, I'll be sure to use that to crack another computer. Thanks, buddy!"
*Click*
Call 2:
"Hello?"
"Hello, this is Don with Windows Service Center."
"Okay."
"Are you the primary computer user?"
"Yes, but it's a Mac."
"..."
He hung up on me!Statistics: Posted by gunsage — Thu Apr 17, 2014 6:56 pm
