Scam?
Just received a phone call from someone claiming to be from Dell, they said my laptop had been stolen from Dell and asked could i tell them who i bought it from, i said i bought from a firm selling on Amazon but could not remember the name, they said they would call back in 20 minutes so i could find the information, in that time i realized it maybe a scam,
When they rang back i said i am not giving any info because I'll don't know if you are from Dell and surely you would know who i bought it from, they said they could email me but i said i can't help you.
They had my phone number & email and knew i had contacted Dell Technical support on a certain day.
Has anyone else had this? Would Dell just ring up like this?

Hi Barbellion,
Yes, it is a scam. Dell will never call you unless you have arranged it. Please follow this link to Customer Care and from there you can fill out a short form to report this.
