First off. This isn't really Amazon Tech Support.
My moms Kindle Fire has just broken. 2nd one in two months. Bought by my younger brother. However my dads that was purchased by me at the pawn shop works flawlessly. Yay me!
Anyway. Somehow or another my mom found some random number for amazon tech support. She called it and received no response. So she hung the phone up. Five minutes later she gets a call from a Haji asking if she had called Amazon tech support. She hands the phone to my dad and he proceeds to trouble shoot said kindle with Mr. Haji. Well the Haj tells my dad he needs to access the computer in order to view the kindle over their WiFi. Of course this is done via a website "created" by Microsoft. (giant load of crap lie) Dad follows instructions and grants the Haj access by downloading the program from said site. After more "troubleshooting", the Haji offers to fix the "problems" he is seeing on my dads computer for 150USD. Dad declines and ends the call. After calling Geek Squad. He was told most likely it was just someone trying to scam cash. I think it was more sinister than that personally. However, my pops is being hard headed about it tonight. He has agreed to call the bank tomorrow though. What do y'all think? Was it a cash scam or did they most likely take what they wanted from his computer?
In other news. My dear mum gave me the number she dialed and the one that had called her back. Both are 800 numbers so they are free to call. I have been having a field day with these people. I have been cussed out in three different Indian dialects as of now. Have placed over 20 phone calls to said phone numbers. Have attempted to sell them various services. Have claimed to be a Aztec ninja warrior that is coming for them and their families. Have twice impersonated a Pakastani Jihadist. That right there has gone over wonderfully. I have never in my life heard anyone get as irate as they did when I did that. The Vietnamese Ladel Swinger pales in comparison to these reactions. (I'm EXTREMELY good at Middle Eastern accents) Pretended to be Russian Mafia. (My accent needs work.) I figure I might as well irritate the hell out of them. What are they gonna do fly over from Punja India? Fools lucky I don't call my relatives in the Ukraine. I would hate for him to meet a sticky end like that.
