They have been calling her almost daily. I let the answering machine pick up. I'm not answering because I figure they will keep calling if I answer the phone. Eventually with them getting our machine they will give up. LOL!!! They talked about this on the news. A lady gave them her credit card number but the bank knew it was a scam & denied the charge. She had to have Computer Geeks fix her computer. I just cannot believe people fall for these things. My sister almost did. She emailed me about it & I told her it was a scam & to not ever give remote access to anyone besides my DH that does that to fix her computer problems. Also to never give out her credit card #. She was really freaking out thinking there was something wrong with her computer. When they call they have you bring up a screen that shows errors to make you think there is a problem. The Computer Geeks said the page they have you bring up that shows errors is normal & not to worry about it. Microsoft would never call you saying you are having computer problems.

DH and I only use our iPhones (Apple). Since then we've never gotten a spam call or any kind of call like that. We moved three years ago and never got around to getting a land line and discovered that we operate just great with our cell phones and no one calls trying to sell us something (we're also on the ""do not call"" National List).... It's great!

What I do sometimes is mute the TV if it's on, hit "talk," then "end." They don't call back.

I have gotten several of these calls in the past week. I tell 'em I know it's a scam and to **** off.

Got my call today.... ON MY CELL PHONE. I don't give out this number readily so when I got the call I played along. I had quite a fun time taking this gal round and round. She finally gave up and hopefully I will not hear from her (them) again. Long story short, nothing she asked me to do I could find. I kept her waiting finding my glasses. Then I told her I misplaced my computer. Then when I found both of them I described my computer as some sort of tablet that had a dead battery. I asked her if she sold batteries and I asked if they came in color since red was my favorite. I DOUBT SHE WILL EVER CALL AGAIN. HAPPY DAY, WHAT FUN.

My Mom got this call and like every other scam call she keeps them on the line acting like she is hard of hearing what what cant hear you , they eventually hang up. LOL

SCAM!!!! They call people at random - and some people are naive to give these scammers information about themselves --- so the scammers can remove some money from ur wallet. Just Hang Up!!!!

I'd love to get this call and have some fun running this person around for a long time. I would act as dumb as a rock to keep him going(which is partially true when it comes to my dumb part). Many scam artists are calling our house during the day and depending on what I have to do at those times, I love taking up their time to frustrate them to the point of them finally giving up or hanging up on me.

Makes my day sometimes.

I do the same thing John. They really get frustrated.

The best way to answer these calls is say excuse me, could you please call me at this number (local police department). Ha, Ha! Or take the number down, and call your local police department and tell them they are scammers, and report them. I love giving these calls the runaround too.

Same thing to us and said he was to help with the issues I was having with my computer. I said I had no issues and didn't call for help. Called a few times and told him same thing and told him don't call here again ever and I know what you are trying to do.
