I finally got one of the calls from one of the windows scammers telling
me my computer is sending error messages. He caught me at a good time
when I was taking a break and had time to play.

Of course,I thanked him for calling and told him how scared I was that
my computer was broken and he offered help. Fist, I had him wait while
my computer booted up. (I was reading some news on it at the time)

I was amazed at the detail he gave me. Told me to use my finger to
press the Windows key. I asked him what finger. Oops, I used my thumb
and have to start over.We finally got to the point of typing a URL.

He said type www. Oh, I typed wwww. He said no, three w's..OK threew.
That went on for a few variations then we got to the type dot. OK I
have wwwdot.

After about 20 minutes he called me a mother f... and hung up.

Mentioned elsewhere that I called the Indian accent sounding girl a

In real life, a few months ago, I had to buy MS Office and it did not

they called back immediately, took charge of my computer, and repaired
the problem. Maybe took 15 minutes and it was frightening to watch all
the control they had.

I just got one too. When the guy called I was on the other line. I
told him that I was and to call me back in 20 min. I switched over
and the guy called right back. I told him to wait and call back in 20
min. He did.

He spoke in a heavy Indian accent. I ask him if he worked for
Microsoft and he said he did. I ask to speak with someone that could
speak English. That didn't slow him down. He said, sir please take
your finger and press the Win key and press R.

I told him to take his finger off the Win key and shove it up his
behind.

He said F***you and hung up.

What helped was knowing up front what the call was about and thanking
him for calling to help me. I bet he thought he had me hooked right
away. I also had the time to play rather than just hang up.

What he did not know is that I like to string them along.

A few years back we were transitioning from regular health insurance to
Medicare. Our deductible for the year was already paid in, but when I
changed to Medicare, the started my wife from $0 and did not cover some
bills. It took month to get straightened out. Meantime I was not
paying $1000 I did not owe. Then a collection agency started calling my
wife.

Caller: Can I speak to Mrs. Ed?
Me: This is Mrs. Ed
Caller: You don't sound like her
Me: How do you know what I sound like if you never talked to me?

I got a call from them once a week. After a few weels...
Caller: How do you want to pay the $643?
Me: I can't pay, I just bought a new Weber grill
Caller (choking) Don't you think you should pay your medical bills?
Me: Not now, we're going to have Porterhouse steaks tomorrow.

Insurance finally paid so no more entetainment.

come to think about it, if my computer was fouled it, it could stall and
need rebooting (or reboot all on its own several times over the course of

You could at least get to the web site.
I was tempted to go to the site he was giving me, but I honestly couln
not understand what he was telling me to type. It would be fun to set

This has been done. See an earlier post in this group by Ned Turnbull,
*Can any of you tell, from the accent of this English, WHERE it
comes from?*

He recorded the conversation while he downloaded the files. He posted the
conversation here, https://app.box.com/s/0yluyszg1qj2l83ynbm2

It's a rather graphic 30 minute discussion with an Indian self-proclaimed
Microsoft support person(?) who became very inflamed at how it went.
Warning - strong language. Enjoy.

He calls the toll-free number at that web page & gets "Sean" almost

Dude! You are the man!

This "Windows" scam is new to me. I haven't heard about it yet, but I presume it's all about me taking out my wallet and giving my credit card number to someone for helping me fix Windows on one of my computers.

A few years ago, it was a Nigerian that was offering to send us our share of King Mbtubu's enormous estate if we paid the inheritance tax on that money up front.

I blame television. TV shows in the USA show people that wait tables in restaurants or work as labourers in car washes living in modern spacious apartments, wearing new stylish clothing and not having any financial problems.

Those shows go into syndication and end up being what people in Africa and Asia watch on a daily basis, and they believe what they see. Laverne and Shirley both work as waitresses in a restaurant and live in a nice apartment and always wear nice clothes. Red Foxx collects scrap metal for a living and lives in a modern house with his son instead of a hovel made of corrugated metal on the edge of a land fill site. People who collect scrap metal in America are clearly wealthier than the bankers in Bangalore.

People in Africa and Asia figure that if they can fool even one of the millions of Americans and Canadians they contact by e-mail to send them money or allow them to withdraw money from their credit card account, it makes the endeavor worth their while.

It would help a lot if modern TV programs showed the ugly reality of some people's lives in the West. Say 19 year old girls that have a child from a absentee father trying to figure out how they can go to work, and pay for rent and day care for their child at the same time. Or, perhaps 17 year old guys who are addicted to prescription pain killers who use what little money they get from shoplifting to get high.

It's clearly the "London streets are paved with gold" syndrome. 300 years ago in Britain, the only people that could afford a horse and carridge to take them out into the country were the very wealthy. Since every Londoner the country folk encountered were very wealthy, the country folk came to believe that ALL Londoners were very wealthy; so much so that the streets in London were paved with gold.

it was not compatible. Then next thing I know I got two viruses. Computer
repair shop told me never to let them do it again! I think they should have

The first time I got the call I think I managed to keep the guy on the line
for about an hour. But when he had the nerve to call me back again and
twice, I just screamed in his ear and slammed the phone down. Same damned
guy even after I reported him to the FTC or whoever it was that my bro said
to report him to. I told him I had reported him as well.

A few years back we were transitioning from regular health insurance to
Medicare. Our deductible for the year was already paid in, but when I
changed to Medicare, the started my wife from $0 and did not cover some
bills. It took month to get straightened out. Meantime I was not paying
$1000 I did not owe. Then a collection agency started calling my wife.

Caller: Can I speak to Mrs. Ed?
Me: This is Mrs. Ed
Caller: You don't sound like her
Me: How do you know what I sound like if you never talked to me?

I got a call from them once a week. After a few weels...
Caller: How do you want to pay the $643?
Me: I can't pay, I just bought a new Weber grill
Caller (choking) Don't you think you should pay your medical bills?
Me: Not now, we're going to have Porterhouse steaks tomorrow.

Insurance finally paid so no more entetainment.

Hehehehe.

My husband once kept some young guy at the door for a very long time. He
was trying to sell magazines but it was likely not legit. We had a lot of
that going around for a while. Pay for the magazine but never get it. Not
sure if those selling them really knew if it was a scam or not. They were
always doing it to go on a trip somewhere. He made the guy describe every
single magazine to him and then finally said he didn't want any of them.

My favorite one was with MCI. That long distance company. Are they even
around any more? No "Do Not Call" list in those days. They would always
call me while I was fixing dinner. I did ask them repeatedly not to call me
any more. But they kept doing it.

So then I got another call and I went ballistic. Can't remember the exact
wording I used but something like... *screaming* OMG! Do you even know
what I did to the last guy who called me? Do you? You have some nerve! I
did this with ever increasing volume and then told him that the MCI people
were making me crazy. I then began something akin to Primal screaming.
That was the last call I ever got from those people.

I was also rude to some Indian sounding guy who called earlier. There was
this very long pause and he was hemming and hawing around not getting right
to the point and I really hate that. Rattled off the name of some company
that I did not know. So I told him I was sure I was not interested in
whatever it was that he called for. Then he told me that he wanted to ask
me some questions about grocery stores. I then told him that I get paid to
do surveys. True. And I hung up.

I though Bush was responsible for toe fungus?

Interesting question. I have a Mac. I wonder what would happen if I
went through all of the steps he gave me for Windows and, just when we
was at the point of near orgasm, mention it was a Mac. I wonder if I
could go all the way (safely) and then confuse him when the stuff did
not work. I know, I am a teasing tart....

That is what one person did. I wish I could find the link to his blog. It
was really funny. Guy tried to tell him that somehow Windows got on his
Mac. He didn't know how. But it had a virus.

I got a call from Google, yesterday. I get one
every couple days,and keep asking them to stop
calling. This one said my Google account was
about to be cancelled, and this was my last call.

I pushed one and told the guy who answered how
thrilled I was that this was my last call, that
I had been getting calls forever, and glad to
see them go.

I keep getting those type things on my e-mail account always with the "noreply" as part of the sender address. I just forward them to 'abuse@(my email supplier)

Are you sure it was Google who called? I get calls from people claiming
to be assisting to enhance Google ratings on my website (I don't have a
website). I've never had a call from Google and per the previous posted,
never had a call from Norton (Symantec).

You know, it's always possible. However, I'm
totally sure it was the barrister for the late
King Nambu Nambu who called, can't fake that
Nigerian accent. I'll get my L4,00,000 soon
as they get out of the embassy there.

Too late. I already have his promise of the transfer today. :-)

I often wonder about giving out a phony bank account number just to see what would happen next. Or, maybe sending them a bogus check.

Baah, it was too good to be true. I mean, the
guy sounded so sincere. I gave him my bank
account number and everything.

Probably why my aunt Myrtle woke up one day and
found her account to be zero balance.

Thanks a lot, you miserable....

I'm thinking that "fraud" is something Nigerian courts wouldn't take seriously. Even if the Nigerian courts knew who was trying to hoodwink the rich bashtards in America, I expect "Hoodwinking a rich American bashtard out of his money" is not a crime in Nigeria.
