Person with strong accent asked if he was talking with some name, not mine. I said it was a wrong number and then he wanted to talk with the person responsible for my computer. He said that he had been affected by some type of very serious problem, and implied he was calling from Microsoft. He asked me to turn on my computer, at which point I told him not to call again and hung up. I've received one more call that I did not answer.
I got the same call as Lj2008tx, once today and once two Saturdays ago. I won $200 shopping spree being offer by the Walmart SuperCenter and a $200 gas card. All I had to do was pay shipping and handling to the postal worker when it was delivered. However, they needed my credit card # to confirm who I was. After I toyed with him a while, he cursed me out. It was kind of humorus.
Today after they told me I won, I very excitedly thanked them and hung up before they could ask for anything from me.
This number showed up 201-200-9999 on my cell phone. I did not answer the call but when I tried to call the number back it said the number was disconnected or vo longer in service. How aggravating can this be? Probably some telemarketer or scam.
I got a call from a gentleman with an Indian accent. He said he was calling about my property located at...(proceeds to give me my home address) and he sees that I'm paying too much for my mortgage. They are a bank and have the lowest rates possible; will I answer some questions. Confused!!
I received a call from 201-200-9999. Man spoke with an Indian accent. Saying that Microsoft had detected that my computer had a virus. I was pretty sceptical and asked him several questions. I followed a long for a few minutes but my grandson started crying. He wanted to know when he could call back because he really wanted to help me fix the problems.
He walked me through a couple things and I was questioning him on who he was and how he got my number etc etc. He took me to a website as his credentials. www.techisonline.com. I said how do I know you are a representative from this site. He said I understand, I would not do you wrong.
Anyway, I was pretty sure it was a scam. Was wandering if anyone else was getting this call too.
