I received a call from 718-822-9084 yesterday morning and it was a recording saying that the IRS was filing a lawsuit against me and i needed to call a different number immediately. The other comments from this number where from 3 years ago and at that time they were pretending to be a computer company... why haven't these people been caught yet it's been 3 years and they are using the same number???!!!
Got a call from 718-822-9084 , they claimed to be from Microsoft New York city office. they said that they will repairs my computer by logging into it. trusting them to be from Microsoft, i gave them the details, they logged in and asked me to buy windows 7 , antivirus , etc for $700. I didn't buy anything but my computer is not working now.
hey, i just recieved the same phone call..... didnt understand what they wanted, but i did go and let them have access to my computer for about 10 seconds....this was only about an hour ago...... i dont know if they had enough time to really mess with things on my computer. how long was it before your computer stopped working????
interesting - my previous microsoft service scam calls have appeared as being from Australian and Djibouti numbers - I got one from this US number yesterday while away (no message)
it's a variant on the now classic Nigerian 419 email scam - very cheap per attempt (these are all via internet phone lines, so basically a minute or two of someone's time, no other cost). 99+% don't work (merely irritate the likes of me) but those one in a thousand where people 'take the bait' can be goldmines for the perpetrators !
After the 15th time they called I got nasty. Thats when he told me after he was done doing my wife (not married a-hole lol) my mom was next, and they were to kill us all. Called the NY State Police and have received and call since.
Had several calls from this number (718-822-9084) in the past few days. No message. No anything except a female voice saying 'good bye' after about 10 seconds. One call was at 6:20 a.m. Love to meet this creep.
