i have mine on 24/7. i did get 3 calls in the past but they stopped. they
are mainly getting info from public records such as phone number and
address. sites like paypal are secure so its not as likely that there
getting info from that. cell phone numbers are roomered to be going public
soon as well.

ServiceCalls from India
stop useing your real name for your user name when you create an email
account, facebook, twitter etc.
all they need is your real name from emails,facebook twitter etc. which
most people do.
they are being hacked several times per year but usually don't tell you
about it.
then do a reverse phone number lookup
from many on line databases.
there are hackers that compile hundreds of thousands of names and phone
numbers from public records and sell them to these callers and fishing
emails.
they get thousands of dollars per month when they sell other hackers these
lists.
and have you noticed how paypal uses your full name every month when they
send you a link to your monthly statement? how secure is this?
if you also use your full name on your paypal account they would only have
to guess your password if they don't have it already from facebook or
twitter because most people use one password for everything.
the most popular password people use is password, or 1 2 3 4 5 etc.

No it has absolutely nothing to do with you starting, or restarting your

I get these as well, I just hang up on them. I don't think it has

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
