They called me this morning and have been trying for weeks now. Once before I got very mad and told him to talk my name off their lists... today, I humoured them.
She got me to go into the event viewer and told me the Warnings and Errors were malicious viruses. This is wrong, it's merely a record of the errors that happen with Windows. I know exactly what every one of those things are. Anyways she asked if I knew what they were, I played dumb and said no. She proceeded to go on and say that they were viruses and she was going to transfer me to her supervisor who could help me further.
30 seconds later the same woman came back on. She walked me through the same stuff and then directed me to a website; e-solving.com. Basically they want remote access to your computer, and your credit card information. I've heard they tell some people it costs around $40, who then get billed about $250.
When she directed me to the site, I decided it was time to end the call. I informed her that as a Canadian citizen I have the right to know who's calling, so I wanted her ID number and name. Told her I knew it was a scam, I wasn't an idiot, and I wanted my name removed from their (expletive) list. She forced me to apologize first, lol. She gave me the info and then I demanded again, not very politely, that she take my name off the list. She said she didn't have to do anything, and that they would call back thousands of times if they had to. As if! That's when I had a little fun. She said she would disconnect the call if I didn't start talking nicer to her. So I broke out the sarcasm and told her "oh no, please don't do that! Not when I'm so interested in your scam - I mean, services." She asked if I thought it was funny and I said, "extremely, you're sitting her wasting your time on me, knowing I have no interest in your product, and I'm just having a grand old time upsetting you!". So then she said goodbye and hung up, lol.
