| 1359406 | 2013-11-11 03:52:00 | My computer must be the most evil machine ever. Four calls over the past six hours from the "Windows Service Department" to advise me that my PC has - from one caller - downloaded programmes which will cause me "lots of trouble" if I don't let them help me correct the problem - and from the other three - my computer is sending "much bad data" onto the internet without my knowledge. Interesting phone numbers too - 21111111111 and 2333333333333. The others were "Number withheld". Quite an interesting diversion from an otherwise dull day. |

| 1359408 | 2013-11-11 04:41:00 | Did u take them on a journey? lead them on? | pcnoob83 (17172) | ||
| 1359409 | 2013-11-11 04:44:00 | Did u take them on a journey? lead them on? Have done in the past, kept them on the phone for roughly 45 minutes. Especially with fake shutdowns, startups ( from windows sounds) But not today, I just laughed after they replied and hung up. Caller ID is good, its easy to spot them, one number thats common is 0123456789, Ya think ;) |

| 1359412 | 2013-11-11 19:28:00 | They are stepping up their game. I recently got a call from my auntie saying there was a problem with my computer. I never realized she was so computer savvy and spoke in broken English. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1359413 | 2013-11-12 02:14:00 | Damn it, none of them call me... pity. I'd have one of the more secure PCs in the area, not being connected to the net in seven months. | the_bogan (9949) | ||
| 1359414 | 2013-11-12 02:55:00 | Caller ID showed up as O/Seas call, told wife to just keep chatting, but b u g g e r, it was a person standing in the Christchurch East by election promoting himself, think it was the Green Party. Lurking. |
