Have been called three times by these people, with the phone number only being revealed this last time. The caller was an Indian man who said he was calling about our computer as he knows we have a Microsoft O.S. (we don't). I twice asked how they got my number and to please stop calling as I have a young baby who is always woken up by their calls (usually around 9pm Pacific time). They have not removed our number from their list (I doubt they will), and continue calling. This definitely seems like some kind of scam.
CALLED MY HOUSE AT 11:46PM EASTERN TIME LAST NIGHT! I didn't pick up, they didn't leave a message. Glad I didn't. I re-upped my Office 365 subscription yesterday, so after reading these complaints the timing is suspect. I was more annoyed at the time they called...I usually worry about family emergencies if somebody calls that late! Ridiculous!!!!
So, I suspected this was a scam call just by the area code and came on here to check it and I was correct according to the posts, however, I found something else here, a clue perhaps....
One posting showed a web sitte I had looked at 2 days ago as I was searching for an in line water heater for my hot tub.
Not sure if this was an "actual" posting or an invasive ad or what. Does it appear there for anyone else when you search this # ?
Got the call today with a significant pause. I told them they had 10 seconds to answer or I would hang up. Got a heavily accented Indian man who said "hello." I asked who he was calling, and he paused again. I told him he had 10 seconds to tell me what he was calling about, or I would hang up. I guess I did not sound sufficiently gullible to have the call continue.
Good bye and good riddance.
Don't give these scrotes anything but a hard time. They are trying to get access to your computer, don't give them any information.
