I got a telephone call this morning from one of those funny numbers 004106928102, an Asian guy saying he was from Eircom internet, he asked for me by name, from which I said yes, and then he hung up. I know that these are scams, I get quite a few, but this was from a new angle, I do not have eircom internet I have Vodafone. 410 is Switzerland. Has anyone any idea what he is up to?
I got one of those calls but from Microsoft in India. You know the one where they haver detected a problem on your PC.....anyway I let her run on a bit and asked her straight out 'are you lying to me?'. Much to my surprise she said 'yes sir' and I asked her 'why are you lying?' and she replied 'because that is what I am being paid to do'. I was taken aback by her honesty. Try the line next time you get such a call.
We also had one of these callers last week and he knew that the Microsoft building is in Sandyford, but when I asked him for the exact address, he hung up.
No doubt they will polish their act and will have more convincing details when they call the next potential victim.
Its a shame they cant get something on the news in Indian to let them know that were just laughing at them. But I suppose that woul remove all the fund if they stopped
Interestingly just reading post 2 above from elleb, I had only a few days ago received a communication from Vodafone technical support. I am in the process of switching providers at the moment from Eircom to Vodafone. I wonder is there some sort of window available to these scam artists in between switching?
