A telescammer is someone who will call you constantly, claiming to be from big companies (such as the Microsoft, tax office, your ISP or bank, etc) in the hopes of tricking you into divulging your personal details such as bank numbers, social security numbers or tax file numbers - which they will often use to steal money or set up accounts in your name. Many of these telescammers run out of Indian call centres.
"Ugh I am so sick of these telescammers, calling daily and saying they are from Microsoft and want to fix my PC".
