Microsft software support - scam?

Recommended Posts

The last time i managed to keep the call going for around 5 mins answering a wide range of their questions, i was giving them some random spoof answers, after a while i had gained their trust into thinking they had a live one here, so i then stopped the young lady and asked if she could answer me a question, she said ok.

I asked how big her nips were, a stunned silence followed after the brief silence she said she did not understand the question, i then repeated it, she got a little flustered and declined to answer me, so i changed my question,

I asked what colour knickers she was wearing, she the hung up!!!!!!

A short time later i received a very abusive call from a young man claiming i had upset his colleague. so i asked him the same questions as before, in a more effeminate style, he was ranting and raving like a lunatic, meanwhile my family and house guests were rolling on the floor with laughter.

god help the cold callers that come to my door, they are always guaranteed to be in for a surprise, lol

 

 

Only 5 minutes, I managed to keep one of these idiots amused for 45 minutes until it I had to leave for an appointment. I informed him I was a certified Microsoft engineer and have never known a phone be put down so quickly.

 

It was a bit obvious it was a scam as the address where I was did not have any internet connection or even a computer! He expressed such concern that I was having problems with the (non-existent) computer crashing or the (non-existent) internet connection failing. Still it passed the time for me as I had a snack and drink of tea as I waited to leave for my appointment. :hihi:

They are just doing their jobs.

 

 

 

You sexually harassed people just because you suspected they were fraudsters, I hope you don't live with any females

 

Sorry, just to correct you here, these aren't people doing legit jobs, they work for criminal organisations trying to steal data and gain illegal access to your PC. You don't think burglars are 'just doing their job' do you?

You do have to make sure they are not charging you for the call as some scams do work that way.

Wearing nothing but a blood-stained apron and wellies whilst holding a meat cleaver in right hand and a cat, head to the rear, under your left arm. It's the cat's one-eyed stare that adds the final punch. If they don't clear off, you just squeeze the cat.

If you get called by a Sheffield Number and the voice on the other side claims to be from the Microsoft Service Department (Or any other Microsoft department) then be aware that it is a scam. It looks like our Indian callcenter friends have now found a way to spoof local numbers.

 

In my case it was 01142439587 but it is likely they have a whole range of them. So please be aware that even if the number is Sheffield, it can still be a hoax aimed to take control of your computer and seek out sensitive data (credit cards etc.)

 

Got this too last week! :mad:

 

Luckily had already had contact with SF computer and tech folk :nod:
