Rogue Caller

[Andy Brown]

If you get a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft saying they need to take control of your PC, hang up immediately. They will be calling from 012127773019, and claim to be working in association with Microsoft to clear viruses from infected machines, please see

http://whocallsme.co...px/012127773019 for more info. And obviously don't give them any identifiable information, or if you want a little fun, follow the attached script. I missed a call from them but always do 1471 then check http://whocallsme.com to see if it's a scam. He may say he is calling from a company called iGlobal if pushed

Hope this helps

Just had the pleasure of talking to them, started off nice enough till he launched into the !*!@# he was hoping I'd take in. Saying they were getting reports from my computer about infections, so asked him what was my computers name, ip address, etc he couldn't answer as he was then deviated from his script. Then I was asked what anti virus I used, told him that was none of his business, again he was stumped. So then I launched my offensive telling him I knew of his companies scam trying to frighten people into handing over confidential information and credit card details, I was going to trap him into thinking he was going to get my ip address, then really have some fun but he hung up. Sadly didn't have the counterscript to hand
