Got this call for the 3rd time tonight. Indian male claiming to be in Sydney. Once again, claiming that they are the technical support for my computer system, and that every time I access the internet they get a warning of virus contamination on my system. They go on at length about how they need to go through the process with me to fix the problem. The first time I told them off in not so nice terms about their scam. The second time, I let him ramble on, played dumb and he thought he had me hooked, then I suggested my IT professional husband should call him back (click) - end of that call.
Third time, let him ramble and then again asked for his number, so my IT husband could call him back and go through it with him, and this guy actually gave me this number to call. Took him ages to get it, and lots of noises in the background like someone was in a kitchen, voices in the background. Once he gave me the number he hung up really fast.
This scam is well known as a method for them to get unsuspecting people to change file information on their computers, then the hackers gain access to it. Be RUDE, but enjoy playing with them first.
