It's funny that this thread should arise at this time, because I just
got off the phone with a friend who has gotten a couple of these calls.
the thing is, he doesn't even have a computer, and when he told them of
this, the guy actually had the effrontery to ask him in an incredulous
voice, "then what do you do with your time?" Needless to say, that is
when my friend just hung up the phone.

I tell them that's a pretty good trick, considering I don't even have a
computer connected to the internet, grin. They usually hang up and only
call back occasionally. My sister played along with them one time and
kept them on the phone for 20 minutes. After one step, he asked her what
was on her computer screen. She told them nothing. The man was puzzled
for a minute. She replied that she didn't have a computer and that she
just had a desire to annoy him the same way he had annoyed her. He
never called back. I hope this gives at least one person a smile.

I get these as well, I just hang up on them. I don't think it has
anything to do with you starting up your computer.

Subject: OT: Annoying Window Technical Service Calls from India or
where ever
Hello,
On my last system, a Win 7 system, it seemed when ever I started up my
computer, shortly after, I would receive a call from a person
telling me
they were from the Windows Technical Service, or something like that.
So far,every call, which are probably two or three dozen by now,
have all been
from people with thick accents from some far away place.
I knew these guys were up to no good, but I would like to get rid of
them calling me.
Thought when I change systems, I would sease getting these calls. Not
so.
I have Software to rid my system of viruses and Malware, but still
these
folks keep calling.
Anyone here find a solution to stop these people from calling?
I have started to play along to see what they will do. Even I need
entertainment.
But, I am getting bored and they amazingly seem to really get upset
when
they find out I've been playing them along. totally halairious at
times, but now I really just need to stop the calls.
Anyone have good advice?
Grumpy Dave
