Called and told me my computer was sending error messages when I asked what computer they asked what type of computer I had. Hung up after I told her this was not something that seemed legitimate

This is a # from platinum communications. A local calgary alberta company. Perhaps if we all call them, maybe they can cancel his acct.

Calls 2 - 3 times a day never leaves a message LIVES IN NW Calgary and when I can afford it I will trace his # and show up at his door !!!!!!!!

A hard to understand man...calling to tell me that my computer had been infected with multiple viruses. I told him that he could not possibly know that and he said something about computers sending signals whenever you are connected to the internet. I told him my computer is fine and ended the call.
When I call the number back I get the operator telling me this number is not in use.

a guy with a hard to understand accent said something about lottery and $50,000 (I asked him to repeat himself 3 times as he was very hard to understand.). When I asked him what lottery he was talking about, he got angry and hung up.

He scams

why is this guy always calling me at home telling me that i have a problem with my computer screen??

ya hello  i am thinking money scam or what know
i told him stop scaming the people and stop calling me then the next day he called again ya!!! again

how rude i told him i am not having problems just with him on the phone then as i  was going to hang up and i heard him say in a laught voice yes you are having computer problem what the hell i am thinking so rude what is he in my house i hate this i have to work for a living and do not like this at all.

when i get home i still have to get stuff done .. how can i get ride of this number that keeps on calling me and again this week i have it on my caller id i do not even want to answer my own phone anymore that is bad so i am screening my calles what is this world coming to..

i am thinking of disconecting my home phone line all because of the telemarketers

frustrated ya

Got a call today, "I am with (forget name given, not windows) Your computer is sending error messages into us."  
I said  "That is odd, what operating system am I running?"
A pause, then he said "windows 7" it sounded more like a question than statement.
I said "that is odd, I am running linux"
He said. "That does not matter, it is sending error messages to us."
I said, my tone less pleasent "look you obviously have the wrong number, my computer is not..."
He hung up.

I have tried to call back but keep getting a busy signal.

It is kind of amusing when one knows it a scam, but not so much when one doesn't.

Be wary if you are genuinely concerned about viruses, contact your own tech, don't believe one that contacts you.

Annoying. I hope the governing agencies are noticing such numbers and barring them from creating nuisance.

Pissed off

Rudely hung up on me when I told him I didn't have a home computer.

They detected some "bad files" on my computer and wanted me to turn it on... (I have 3 firewalls in series and running Linux). Asked them where they called from. Said Microsoft from California... Asked them what version of windows I am runing. Just wasted their time and had a bit of fun. Should always ask if their teeth are important for their job and what make of toothpaste they would recommend.
