'Microsoft support centre' scam continues, and takes turn for worse
Comment: I strung them along as long as I could. I acted like a completely befuddled retiree from MINNESOTA. Woman said she was with "Global IT Support". And that my computer was having problems. I asked "which one?" ... "the Dell? the Lenovo? the IBM?" She said "all of them". I said "all seven of them?" "Yes" ... (well that's more than we have!). I was transferred onto her manager - "Kevin Foster". I said "you sound like you are from India ... is that your real name?" ... Then I said "do you have an office in MINN-E-SOTA?" I asked for the website of the company ... he said "WindowsServicingCenter". He said that I have a Windows computer with Internet Explorer. (not one in the house!). I asked if he could fix it ... answer "yes". How much? Answer "$ 199". I asked again about the website and said that I couldn't get it to pull up. He hung up.
