Telly Marketers latest scam looking for INF files
Posted by jdbsound on September 4, 2014
Just got a phone call for someone who said they represented Microsoft. They said they were getting coded messages from my internet address saying that there was a problem with my computer. They knew my name, my home address and the type of computer that I was using. That is sort of creepy that they knew such details.
Anyway, I played along with them. They asked me to search for INF files on my computer. They said this was code for infections. Well, fortunately I know enough about computer to know that INF files are text files that tells a windows program how to install new or updated software and drivers. At that moment, there were trying to take over my computer. So I turn off the internet to see what they would do next. That is when they asked me to look for certain files and email the files to them. When I told them my internet was down, they hung up on me.
* * WARNING * * If anyone calls on the phone and says they are from Microsoft or Windows, they are scammers. They want your identity and banking information and destroy you life.
This is a cautionary warning for anyone getting calls from Tell Marketer’s.
This kind of call has happened 4 time in the last 2 day and all of them spoke with an indian accents.
