Bingo 我中獎了 =)

終於中奬了！剛剛有個印度口音好重嘅女聲打黎，然後轉俾個男人自稱Kelvin，話佢地係Microsoft打黎，我部電腦中左virus，而佢地只有我部電腦嘅serial number，猛要我開電腦（唔知想做乜）。但係我問佢地我用邊個windows version都答唔出，再問叫乜名就cut左我線。。google之後原來有好多呢啲scamming call，最後會叫你上paypal入$俾佢地。。

真係好開心可以中到呢個獎：）

Have you ever received a call from someone with a heavy Indian accent from Microsoft saying your computer had errors or viruses? The purpose of these calls is to get an easy $299 (or whatever amount they choose) by scaring you into thinking there’s something really wrong with your computer and that they can fix it for you.

These telephony scams have been going on for many years and scammers keep robbing innocent people sadly because their success ratio is still worth their time and effort. It happens that I got ‘the call’ while minding my own business on a regular work day. I immediately recognized what this was all about and decided to play the game to see how far this would go.
The caller’s number did not appear on my phone, a sign that they were using some Voice over IP (VoIP) or such technology that both completely hides their identity and costs them nothing for long distance calls.

This scam is a well-oiled machine which starts off with the alleged Microsoft representative asking you to turn on your computer to perform some checks for errors. They essentially make you open different applications which aren’t typically known by regular users.
