This morning I got a phone call at home from an Indian sounding man and number unavailable came on the screen of my home telephone.
He knew my name. He said he understood I was having slow speeds on my computer and wanted to help.
As i had just ordered an upgrade from Eircom to my broadband speed last week I assumed it was them.
However when I asked him what company he works for he said a name I cant remember and said they were approved Microsoft agents.
I told him I had not complained to Microsoft and he said I am here to help and demanded I turn on my computer and he would speed up my computer by going to a certain website. I said this sounds like some sort of scam and he got a little annoyed and again suggested I turn on my computer and that when I see the improvements I would know its not a scam.
I politely told him no thanks and he said okay thank you for your time and hung up.
Sounds like a scam of some sort to me.Has anyone else had this type of call.
