I am well aware of the phone scammers that ring up and try to convince the person their computer has a virus and part with their money / and the endless other scams that go on.
Some months ago, hubby tells me he had been dealing with regarding computer problem (I do not know how the initial contact was made, but subsequently via phone, I believe ) and he was going to pay to have it fixed up.
I warned him of scammers and phone calls regarding computer problems / viruses.
Hubby said this was not a scam and he had paid and the computer was fixed (I have no idea of what that problem was supposed to be), and he had checked it out and it was genuine problem and a genuine company.
I believe there was more than one call
I warned him again, hubby said he had it all under control, not to interfere, it was genuine and then I thought no more of it.
At the time I thought it was odd, and I asked hubby to let me deal with the company next time, but he said again not to interfere.
I was working at the time these call(s), so I did not deal with this myself apart from warning hubby.
I just had a phone call from a Indian sounding person, telling me my husband had paid money to scammers some months back and he was with an investigation bureau and he would try and get the money back and have the scammers closed down. The then said he would check the computer and asked me to be in front of my computer
At this point, I put the phone down, he rang back, I hung up again and have taken the phone off the hook.
I think hubby was silly enough to get scammed.
Has anyone else had what I assume is the scammers ringing back trying to have another go for some more money ??
What do you think ?
Are these scammers (I assume) brazen enough to have a second attempt ??
