I am receiving calls from this number...caller id shows New York...a computerized female voice says this is a final and official notice from IRS before filing a lawsuit against my name...they never state a name...instructs me to call them back at (253) 336-5054...reverse lookup shows this number to be associated with a federal grant scam...very annoying!
Apparently when you ask one of these people to remove you from the call list they get an attitude and tell you that "you shouldn't be messing around on the damn internet and [***] like this wouldn't happen" that's a quote there.. and they still don't remove you from the call list.
Received first call a few days ago and then a call-back this morning. First call was from 607-737-0186. Guy with heavy Calcutta-type accent identified himself as "Roger", a licensed representative from Windows/MS, calling to help me clean out some junk in my home computer. I told him that only a damned fool would allow his access into my computer and I told him that I'll verify his credentials with MS and then call him back. Then, "supervisor" "Eric" (w/heavy India-like accent) got on the phone and asked me to call back on 347-305-0088. Sure I will, Eric. Looks like their scam was to fleece me for approx $150, per comment on pricing from Eric. Beware out there ! !
I have been getting calls from this number lately...my new SOP for these crap calls is 1) check here 2) If listed here go to my phone settings and forward this number to another tel/marketer number verified here that I receive. If there is justice, it will drive them crazy.
I just got a call from these [***]. The now use some kind of pre-recorded interactive messages. They said they were calling from a Municipal Court (refusing to say which one) and pretended I had unpaid parking ticket dated 2008 and needed to pay them now...
Here in Quebec, if you don't pay your parking ticket, you get your licence revoked!!!
I preported them to RCMP fraud center in Quebec and they confimed to me that these [***] (718-377-9189) run numerous telephone scam.
