My father has a 'tech', calling on the phone saying he's a tech for 'Windows '.

My father is having someone who keeps calling her phone number, saying it is a tech for 'Windows '. It just tells the "no, not interested", but calls are increases and becomes boring.

It seems that it happens started him then weeks more - his card has been compromised. Some college kid in a State that he was never actually the fatal error of the charge of their expenses of college and/or books on my father's card number.  Thus, they drew him/herself.

It does not use the very net except for Amazon gift (Christmas, for example). We believe that his card was hacked through Amazon.

Anyone who is tech savvy have some comments on how to avoid scammers on the phone. How they get all these phone numbers of United States of America to start cheat? Or you have any comments about what to do when you use your card to buy something on the net?

Thank you.

Sorry to hear that your father is being bothered by these criminals.

Seems you may need to perform a review of complete safety on him AND his computer.

Re of piracy:

Your father is using complex passwords? Grab it with LastPass where you can create passwords on EVERY site that requires a connection. Passwords as 49jf = _ K & () * hjHHyt74 ><**htba jjlkk63%3***="" can="" be="" generated="" automatically="" by="" lastpass.......and="" you="" never="" have="" to="" remember="" them.="" read="" about="" it="" at="">

Re compromised card:

-have him get one FREE, low limit ($500) Visa or Mastercard and never use that one for online shopping

-never use the button 'save your number of credit card for convenient future purchases. Enter it in fees each time.

Re "repair Windows" phone calls:

Just tell him to answer the phone politely; Once they identify themselves as what they are, tell him you say thank you and then (without hanging up) it just place the phone on a table or a Chair and let it sit there for ten minutes. 'THEY' will receive the message that it is on them.
