Weird phone calls from foreign people ??

[D_ManXX2]

Lately i been getting many weird phone calls from foreign nations i never even knew existed ??

Is this a new trend from those scammers ?? They speak in in there own foreign language witch makes the call a bit awkward.

 

Since you have no idea what they are even talking about.

 

The real problem is every day another nation calls and it is getting a bit old. Looks like i will need a new phone number.

[Pavaux]

Well, that's new... and creepy.

[CeeTeeDee]

if the call is from indian microsoft support and they say your laptop is a source of spam  and they give you a clsid of the zfsendtotarget  and ask you to download and install some shit tell them to Apanī mām̐ bhāṛa mēṁ jā'ō

 

i get that here nearly every week... atleast they're not chinese 

 

...its only slightly more repugnant than spam-porn ring /wp-include xs hackers... but only slightly.

 

its a known scam : http://www.tangomanfromqc.com/node/61

I don't know if they start talking and i don't understand i just hang up or not even taking the call anymore. The weird part is they constantly call from different nation witch make it hard to block these types of telephone numbers since they need to use the same one several times in order for the phone company to start blocking these numbers for me.

 

This started at the end of last year. but only once a week or once a month. But now it is almost 3 or 4 times a day.

 

It looks like a well organized ring group now. because not 1 number is the same as the other it is always a different one from different countries.

[CeeTeeDee]

not to worry as long as you don't buy or download anything.

 

you can blame your telecommunications provider for getting hacked.

 

or wantingly selling their number databases off-shore...

 

what is world coming to 

[Redflyingmonkey]

You are actually receiving calls from different dimensions ahead of us in time. Every one of the people talking to you are actually you, each of them born in different parts of the world according to their dimensions. They have realized that your timeline was the less advanced one and are begging you to stop masturbating on your table since in each one of those dimensions your cat always come and licks the leftover jizz without you knowing before jumping in a radioactive waste transportation truck and transforming into a humanized cat monstrous mutant that will conquer the world and eat all the tuna.

 

Wow that felt good !

My roommate handed me the phone and said it was like tech support from comcast.

 

Alright, the guy had me go into device manager then look into my windows error reports. I asked "So the fuck does this have to do with internet issues?"

 

"Well sir, more errors" I cut him off here and repeated my question.  We went back and forth until I lose all patience and called him a <racial slur> cock sucker out of anger.

 

 

Anyway, hung up on him. it seemed to have taken affect since no more calls after that.  Scamming cock suckers... I wish they were all just die.

In India it's big business, but not all are legit, as some decide to try nicking off by posing as tech support, with a scripted list of instructions to some poorly paid sod on what to tell to the would-be victim. In most cases it's those who don't know much about computers that get screwed, old people especially.

 

The ones running the scams -- heh, their ops sound more like sweatshops but with telephones -- are often those who earn so much than the slaves they employ.

 

The reason why phone numbers have to be kept private the way email addresses were when to cut down, if not to defeat, spam.

 

Also, caller ID.

[D_ManXX2]

I don't know if it will work, but i took whistle and blew really loud in there ear when they call then i hang up. I hope they get the message then.

[( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

I heard of a dude that got so sick of junk calls, charities and telemarketers that he changed his number type to a collect one. So whenever they'd call him, he'd pick up and talk to them and try to keep them on the phone as long as possible because they'd get charged money for calling him. Suddenly, he stopped getting calls from them.

 

I just may have to look into doing something similar.

[Guest Omega1084]

I used to get those.

Mostly from people speaking French or Filipino.

I just screamed at them in Russian and they hung up.

[RezTheFatal]

No foreign people but the other day I did get a guy who was apparently trying to reach his dealer and got my instead, he shrieked at me threatened my life and then hung up.

Should've asked for the number he was trying to call. Dealers are like mechanics and dentists; everybody's always asking whether you know a good one.

Stop!!! Your killing me!!!       

 

That was a laugh out loud, whilst blowing a snot bubble moment reading that.

I just imagined that happening and probably had a similar reaction.

[Darkening Demise]

Foreign? Eh only when the family calls support of...well anything! The bloody support doesn't even know what a cable box is! Freaking India! (Got to love corporations attempting to make all the more money to satisfy their never ending hunger of greed by hiring people who can't speak a single word of English or other language right as they press buttons on a Apple II and constantly ask around the hut for assistance from the others who have no clue what to do!)

[Chbaakal]

I think I stopped one of these phone calls for good. A month ago I'd received one, hung up on them, and wrote the number on my caller ID down to keep handy. Sure enough, I was called again just last week, and answered the phone like this;

 

"Hello, FBI - Federal Bureau of Investigation's Hot Line. Your call is being monitored for quality purposes...."

 

That's as far as I got. Heard some muffled foreign voice say "FBI..." then they hung up.

 

Hope they crossed my number off the list. If not, I might think of another one to answer with...

Must be some Viets (after all, they spoke French for some time before the North took over); the Flips were probably hired on the basis of the average bus-riding guy looking at the sticker advertising at the back of the seat promising high monthly salaries by being a half-assed CSR (and the office more likely a hole-in-the-wall operation with the phone sets connected with VoIP).

He must be really desperate for his dose.

Again, some of these outfits aren't legit but run by those trying to cash into the customer service rep business.

*in thick indian accent* "Hailo, dees ees Microsooft, we have de-dick-ted your pee-see has a vay-rees, we need you to give us your piss-words.." It happened a lot in europe, I got the call twice also. They try to make you set up remote access after which they search your PC for what they hope will be stored banking informating. Because the main group falling for it are the elderly, it often happens these gramps happen to store each bank account number in convenient .txt or .docx files so that they don't forget them. Lie to them you use linux and they'll hang up instantly.

Another good one to use is good old *firecrackers* the louder the better they even work wonders on the prank callers. We had one of those breather ones awhile back. Hello wheeze wheeze hello wheeze wheeze at same time of saying hello the 2nd time I was already reaching over for a firecracker said hello one last time then lit the firecracker and said to self lets see how this asshole like this. BOOM!!! Hello? Hello? bzzzzzzz guess they didn't like it oh well.

[Rayblue]

Run into them? Try these and cuss them in their native language:

http://www.youswear.com/index.asp?language=Tagalog

http://www.youswear.com/index.asp?language=Vietnamese

 

Or run a copy of Deep Throat with the receiver close to the speaker.

I know of someone who started screaming at the lady about penguins on fire and how their OS was wiggling too hard and he couldn't put it out.

I only wish I was there to hear the reaction xD
