Just had my third call from this number today, was in this time, Someone with american accent said their name was Frank, wanted to ask me about were I shopped etc. started getting angry when I asked him were he was phoning from etc Put the phone down on him when he started being abusive. Best avoided.
Traced this call to Seaside road, Eastbourne, England.
A person called Steve? Asked was he speaking to the home owner. I replied in Welsh and told him that I did not understand English (lie of course) the longer I kept answering in Welsh the more abusive he got. After about 5 minutes he hung up. I hope this ploy works.
The person with a east indian accent identified himself to be a representative from Microsoft, and tried to convince me that my computer was uploading malware to some microsoft servers. About the time he wanted me to log onto a web address and allow him to remotely scan my computer to trace where the malware was coming from, I hung up.
I am always getting unknown calls, but with the security app on my phone it usually tells me if it's sales, fraud, spam etc...so my phone just rang for the 4th time today...I answered this call as if I was in the middle of being railed..they hung up instantly. And of course I got a laugh.
FRAUD! Automated recording claiming my Mastercard Debit card was locked and to please hold while they transfer me to a rep to help. I did not even wait. I hung up the phone. I don't even have a Mastercard!
