This wasn't an email scammer, but this past Saturday I kept getting calls that was showing up as my own number. It would just ignore them but it started getting out of hand, I am talking about every 15-20 mins they would call back..
It was about 30 mins before the LSU game when my phone started ringing again so I answered it and it was a voice recording that said something about "Windows on your computer has been compromised".. blah blah blah blah.. Press 1 to talk to a representative who can help you with this problem.
I pressed 1 and this lady with a foreign accent (sounded Indian.. Dot, not feather) comes on the line and starts telling me some bullshite about how there is a threat to my computer and that Windows has been compromised.. So I asked her something like "why is this happening?" and she said something and then I said "This is hard to believe especially since I don't use Windows. I use IOS so take my fricking number off of your fricking list!" and hung up..
All these scammers are getting out of hand and I have to think it's because people are falling for it, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it..
