A lot of my sighted friends complain about this as well, so I don't think there is a reason to speculate that it is coming from any of our blind lists. Our local consumer reporter on TV had a segment on the news recently about this warning consumers to be aware of this scam. ----- Original Message ----- From: george basioli via Talk To: 'Kevin Huber' ; 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' ; 'Dave' Sent: Monday, July 4, 2016 11:26 AM Subject: RE: OT: Annoying Window Technical Service Calls from India orwhere ever
Wel here is my thought, I got a few of these calls and I just figured it out the other day. The caller said he was calling from talks tech support and my computer called them. Well I think since the merge of g I squared and f v o there has been a breech of information in theprocess and this seems the only list people aretalking about these phone calls. -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kevin Huber via Talk Sent: Monday, July 04, 2016 07:46 To: Dave <[email protected]>; Window-Eyes Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: OT: Annoying Window Technical Service Calls from India or where ever Hi Dave: These calls have nothing to do with your system. They pick random phonenumbers and they call them. I used to get quite a few calls from them, but not any more. I am not sure why, but it may have something to do with the last caller. He had been calling our number for days and we would just hang up. Finally, on one call, I asked what company he worked for. When he said "microsoft" I just told him he was lying and hung up.
