I just received a call from this 213-247-1314 number at 4:55am EST!!! I'm very glad I was already up getting ready for work. # hour time difference between Cali an Rhode Island. No one on the other end.
They are trying to install a virus on your computer, by telling you something is wrong with your windows based PC. I have Apple/Macs in my house and one Windows based laptop.
Do what I do, tell them I only have Mac Computers. They hang up really quickly!
Caller ID said California # 213-247-1314, this number was on my caller ID from them calling several days in a row. When I answered a male with very hard to understand middle eastern accents tried to tell me my computer was illegally downloading something from his website. Caller stated that he worked for windows and instructed me to go turn my computer on and he would walk me through the steps to fix the problem. After I questioned him several times and confronted him with contradictions with his story another man came on the line. Second man spoke better English, he tried to be very bossy and forceful, telling me he was from windows technical support and demanding that I turn on my computer so he could walk me through steps to fix this problem. After told him I wasn't turning anything on unless he could prove to me he was legit, he said "you are full of [***]", then hung up.
Received a call from this number a few minutes ago. It was the third call in an hour, but the first one where someone came on the other end. In an extremely heavy accents, he told me that my computer had been sending numerous errors to the Windows Service Center over the last several days, and that he was calling to help me fix it. NO WAY!
I have gotten 5 calls from this number today. The same voice, the same accent, using different names. Always trying to tell me there is a problem with my computer.
