Got the call again today. I was home for lunch so I thought, sure, I got time.
These guys call once a month.

Caller (in thick Indian accent, we’ll call him Apu)
GB: Hello?
Apu: Hello, this is Steve with Microsoft Security. Are you on your computer?
GB: Well yes, yes I am
Apu: We have information there is a security problem with your computer and would like to help fix it
GB: ok, what do I do?
Apu: Do you see a control key at the lower left part of your keyboard? It should be labeled Ctrl.
GB: I do!
Apu: What do you see next to that key?
GB: a strange button with square boxes…
Apu: is it a Microsoft Windows button?
GB: I’m not sure, it’s on my laptop and I don’t have a windows keyboard
Apu: OK, hold down the Control key and the Windows key. And while holding down these keys press the letter R key…do you see the letter R key?
GB: I do!!! I say excitedly!
Apu: What do you see on your screen?
GB: A picture of you fucking a goat!

A moment of silence since our relationship just changed….

Apu: Fuck you. I fucked your mother last night…I broke into your house and fucked your mother good.
GB: Apu, you can’t fuck my mother when one, she doesn’t live here and two, you are fucking a goat. My mother would never stand for that.
Apu: Fuck you, click

That is pretty funny.

As an aside what does ctrl+windows+R give you?

Nothing.

win+R is the shortcut for the "Run" command, though.

Windows Key + R = run prompt
Control + R = refresh on a browser and a few other apps
Control + Windows Key + R = refresh/etc, not use.

You sure it didn't generate a popup that said, "Welcomes to Scammers-R-Us. Please do the needful to allow us to hack your system."

I'm pretty sure that's what it does. Let me check.

That key combination does nothing. Windows+R brings up the Run command. Maybe he was walking you over to the Windows key and you misunderstood. Either way, scam fail.

Apu might have mentioned the Ctrl key to get me to find my windows key...

So, Windows+R is whet they are after. They want access to your computer.

Win+R is Run.  Probably what he meant for you to do.



Ctrl+Win+R doesn't seem to do anything.

Phone scam, they ask you to type in a code and have access to programs and files on your computer... I think.

 I wish I had a quick wit to pull stuff like this!  I would just get mad and hang up.

I have been getting these calls on a weekly basis.  I usually just tell him to FOAD, if it's a chick, I act like I want to have phone sex, and start asking her all types of nasty shit...It usually does the trick

My dad got that call the other day......He decided to tell me about it and I got worried.

I think he hung up on the person, but who knows.
