Scam Phone Call For Computer Virus

So we kept getting a call from a Sani-Singh per our caller ID over a week.

I get many calls for work and some from Indian colleagues so being busy I defaulted to "leave a message if it's important" but they never did leave a message even after 5 calls over 4 days.

So on Thursday I was not busy and they called and I answered. An Indian sounding female said "Hello, one minute please" and I got transferred to an Indian male who started to shout at me about a computer virus that has been detected on my PC and that immediate action must take place and on and on.

I stopped him mid sentance and politely said "I think you have the wrong number, I don't own a computer" and then dead silence for like 5 seconds. Then he asked if I had a laptop and I said no. Again about five seconds of silence and he said "ok thanks" and hung up.

Too funny, poor guy didn't have a response on his script for someone without a computer /default_smile.png.

 
People all over have been getting weird calls. Some calls if you pick up they some how get info off your phone. Not sure how that happens. Also many are saying they are getting extreme charges to their phone once picking up.....weird

 
You guys might be aware of this, but your land line and cell provider have a service (online) that you can block specific numbers from EVER calling you again.  I have done that to stop some of the pesky people calling me every other hour seeing if I have changed my mind about buying something.

 
Yes in deed-dee.  One of our international friends is working his way there as we speak.  I have told him on three separate calls I don't know what I want to do or do anything at all.  When I figure it out I will be in touch.  He is not hearing the last part of that. 

 
SJ - that's freaking hilarious!

Have you ever heard the telemarketer call recording with two guys who keep saying "I don't know, let me let you talk to my brother"? - it's awesome; I keep wanting to try that one.  Good for you for getting one in on 'em - fun stuff  /default_tongue.png and thanks for sharing, lol.

Tri-gal, is that the “Jerky Brothers†or “Jerky Boys� Did a lot of phone prank stuff in the early to mid 1990s, some really gross (enough to trigger a gag reflex, even) but most of it hilarious...

 
Also, just FYI everybody—“Sergeant David Justice†purportedly of the D ee a (“Yes! The official office! In Washington D.C.!†he tells me) is manning the phones again. Tells you your name has come up as part of an on-going investigation and you are in BIG trouble...which can be resolved for a mere $500 if you want to be cooperative.

If you laugh at him, he gets very angry. Which generally makes me laugh even harder, to the point of accidentally disconnecting the call...

Hi Blue, no I think this is someone different.  I'll look for it...just a year or so ago I heard this.  Not in the least bit rude or anything...you just have to hear it; cracks me up everytime!

 
I always speak a different language  OR  I ask for sex...or both.

Is this John Smith?  Yes my name is Smith Jones Patel and I am very happy to be in america selling watered down petrol, cigarettes and pornography to minors.  Do you like porno?  I want to make sexy time, men or women is good.  Goats and cows maybe.  But never camels...

You makey sexy time with me?

In Spanish it's even worse.

Those guys get quite a few people like that. Generally works with people who still have listed home numbers. People think "They know my name and address, it must be true." That's a great response you gave and people should know that NOBODY from MS, or any virus removal company, is going to call you. EVER. 

My router recently failed and I called Netgear for support. They switched me to a tech support center that tried to sell me tech support for $200. I told them it would be cheaper to replace the router. He insisted in was my network configuration and a new router would have the same problem. I told him I'd ask some professionals if they agreed and he hung up on me! It was just Netgear trying to rip me off for tech support that is free from lots of places online. I'm just happy they sent me an email asking me to fill out a survey concerning my recent experience with their support team.

LOL, Bluesman!!  Oh my...gonna have to brush up a bit on the old espanol in prep for the next time I get an annoying call!

 
I've got quite a few Scam calls in the past, The last one was some Pakistani/Indian guy with terrible English telling me that my "Vindows" system is broken !! Pathetic attempt tbh, someone must fall for them though..🤔

 
I've received several bizarre phone calls over the last few months asking me if I feel like my elderly father is safe when I'm not home.  It's weird because I do live with and care for him.

I just tell them he's dead.  Let's just say that ends the phone call.

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the

  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP

Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
