here it goes again

My dad answered the phone there no more than 5 minuets ago. It was a gentleman with a pakistani voice claiming to be from "Windows".

He told my dad to go to a website to download some software. Thankfully my dads laptop was off, the guy said to him he will call back when it was on.

He rang back again (number withheld again) but this time i took the call.

I asked who he was and he spoke really fast and all i heard was he was from a computer department of a company i never heard of.

I asked why does he want the laptop to download software and he could not give me an answer only that "i told you already" (at this point he got very aggressive to the point where we were almost arguing on the phone).

I then asked how did he get the phone number ? (i never gave this particular phone number to any computer company (Dell, Acer, Microsoft, anyone !) ... again he could not give me an answer.

I told him to go shove it.

let this be a warning to ye not to be taking any calls of the sort.

if i had answered the phone first i would've said "We don't own any computers, why are you calling? " but my dad did it !

so be careful all !
