Yeah, I've had a few calls like that too, I start interrogating them
technical questions about the nature of the problem (without giving them any
information) and they hang up !

Subject: [OM] OT - Phising phone calls

The home phone rang at breakfast time today.

The phone display box showed the source number as :

1 - 510 - 510 - 9988

The voice at the other end introduced himself as being from a Windows Help
Line and was calling because there were some "bad signals" coming from my
computer.

When asked where he was calling from he said "Miami, Florida".

When I told him that his number showed up as area code 510 and that area
code covered an inland area east of San Francisco, he responded with a
polite but mildly frustrated "ah but .......".

He then asked if he was speaking to "Mr John Hudson" to which I gave no
response other than to say "....guess what, you are a piece of scum, good
by" and hung up.

The educated sounding voice was that of a male maybe in his 20s and the
accent was a cross  between mild Spanish and  south Asian [India /
Pakistan].

The same incoming phone number has shown up on my call display box for the
last few days at various hours.

If anyone lives in area code 510 perhaps they could identify who has number
510-510-9988.

What's to be made of such bogus phone calls ?

I keep my ESET security system up and running full time.
