or something of the sorts. Might have said my Windows computer was in trouble,sending false data.
Anyhow, the guy at the other end had a strong foreign accent and I decided to listen to his story out of interest.
I asked a few questions about where they had gotten my tel. #,ect, and he then asked if I was ready to sit down and work on solving the problem with my pc.
I told him I had a Mac, and he said "ok, you can talk to a Mac tech.."
No thanks, goodbye. Click!
What I'm wondering is if during the conversation, these fraudster (only polite word I can come up with at the moment) can seize our phone line while we're conversing..?
There were a few warnings some time back about getting telephone lines hijacked and then using them to make long distance phone calls.
I checked my phone not long after hanging up and everything was normal (dial tone).
Any insights on these types of calls..?
