The Microsoft Scam

[Niamh.]

Got a call two days in a row from a man with an Indian accent telling me he's from Microsoft and that my computer had errors yada yada........... How is this scam still going? They must be getting hits still, doesn't everybody know about this one yet?

Have they ever called you? If that guy calls back again I need to ask him if they still get people falling for it, they must do I guess :shrug:

They rang me once, I told them that it's strange that Microsoft is ringing me when I have a Mac. They STILL tried after that and I just laughed at them and hung up.

:laugh2: How stupid do they think people are..........but I guess there must be alot of stupid people out there, if it wasn't still paying off for them, they wouldn't waste their time :/

I had an indian guy call me saying my takeaway order was ready, in the end I called the police as he said he actually lived in my village

he was arrested and jailed for being foreign.

He should've let him "conference call", and it would've just happened to be an Indian copper. :laugh:

They always use fake names too. I got called by 'Tracey' the other day.

did I really just waste 15 minutes of my life on this.. he just does everything he's asked and in the last minute refuses and says he knows it's a scam. have I missed something

[King Gizzard]

You'd be amazed how much of the older generation would fall for stuff like this. The people who haven't grown up with technology and are only getting to grips with it now, I don't even mean to be ageist

I don't even mean that you have to be all up to date with technology to not be caught out, I mean this scam is so well known that I would have thought people would just have heard about it, like from the radio or through other people
