Lol owned. Nice job. Definitely an odd scam, never heard of somebody calling up in regards to computer information. I guess their theory is that most people just assume everything coming from the internet is bound to be a scam so hearing a voice on the phone has some more credibility. Only an idiot though would fall for that one.

Not ass funny as what some other people have posted about screwing around with scammers but this was the only thing I could think of on such short notice.

I got called about a month ago by somebody with a thick russian accent who asked "Do you have a windows computer" (of course I do) so I just told him that microsoft is the devil and I only buy macintosh computers because they're the way of the gifted.

He hung up before I could finish my rant

We got a call like that from someone claiming to be in Miami saying that he had received error messages that our computer had a virus on it and that we should do basically what you described.

Was an obvious scam to me but I could see where non-computer-savvy adults/etc wouldn't be able to pick up on it and fall for it.

Now that I think about it I should have ended the call by saving something like "This is what I see on my computer screen." and link him to an image of troll face ... DAMN IT, oh well, next time :D

Surprisingly, I've never been called by a scammer, just random emails from people telling me my WoW account's been hacked sent to an email that only has SC2 associated with it. Maybe I'll try replying to one of those sometime, haha.

Haha. My grandma trolled a scammer. Same sort of thing. My grandma's hearing is really bad, and she kept getting the URL wrong. I was there with my aunt when she got the call, so we let her uh, twist them around.

Dude... shouting "me gusta" is basically the best thing ever. I wish you had made a recording of this... Would have been hilarious.

They've been hitting a lot of people over here. Unfortunately there are quite a lot of the older generation that fall for this scam. These guys are the scum of the earth. Theres a thread about it on one of my local forums

You should have tried to make him cough up more information about himself.

Yes. Yes, it is.

Frankly, this is the type of thing that shouldn't work on anyone, regardless of how technologically not-savvy they are - it's common sense not to give credit card information to complete strangers...
