They've called me a bunch of times, from various numbers and companies, trying to "fix" my computer.
One time I played along long enough to have them take me to a site and ask me to download remote control software so they could take over my computer to "fix" it!
They seem to have Indian accents.
Today one gentleman who identified himself as "Mark Wilson" ended up calling me an "a**-h@le". All I did was ask questions, and professionally at that.
Another man who identified himself as "Alex Wilson" (is everyone there named Wilson?) told me he'd fire Mark.
Today they had me look at my event viewer, open the Administrative Events Custom View, and claimed since I could not delete events, my computer was "infected".
I explained you cannot delete events from a view and told them I just cleared an event from one of the logs, so he said I didn't need their help and hung up.
I asked since I don't pay them for a service why they were "helping me", and they said "it's not about money!"
