Internet Phone Scam. Warning.

[Gin 498]

For the second time, i have had a phone call from "Windows Repair" to inform me, my computer has been sending out a fault message to Windows, and as my computer is not a recent one, i need to upgrade "Windows Repair" on my PC. This will cost me £130 paid for over the phone with my Credit card. ( As if )

The phone caller sounded perhaps Nigerian, as did others in the background. When i said i need your phone number he gave me this,-02454845575555

I asked where he was phoning from and his reply Oxfordshire

I said thats not an Oxfordshire number but he said its new Oxfordshire numbers.

When i said i'd pass this phone call to Northumbria Police first, he hung up.

So do take care, a lot of people are being taken-in by this type of call, as stated in our local news paper a few months ago.

Pay nothing from your card over the phone.

[dymented 2,220]

next time they call tell them you work for Microsoft see how quick they hang up

[poacher3161 1,766]

They phone me every fekin week they must get off on the fekin abuse i give them.

when they ring back bang uporn on the comp tell then you wont be a min and let them listen to the porno and listen and see if they shout to there mate to come and listen.

 

we had what sounded about 30 of then on the othere end you could hear them all giggling.

 

or an other good one is go along with it as long as you can ask as many daft Q,s as you can think of then when they get to the bank stuff make up a card number then when they ask for the security code pretend the line is braking up and only give them the first 2 numbers then see how long it takes them to hang up.

had one for 20 min trying to get the last num.

I have been getting a lot of calls lately but they cant get my name right. Mrs pumkin eh where did they get that from. I have had a call every night at 5pm for last 5 nights. I like keeping them going then at the very end hang up. Had a call about the insurance on my sky box about to end i said that was a bit odd i dont have a tv or sky
