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 have been receiving calls also from this phone. I dont answer if I dont know who is calling but they dont leave a message. I called back and it says that phone has been disconnected. I am not going to answer if they call again!
Looks like a a scam maybe phishing for info from verison customers. The number links back to "Verizon New Jersey, Inc." The website it sends you to is not secure, if it were the url would have https in the address.
My visiting nephew answered the phone: I don't answer it when the name/number on Caller ID is blocked or unfamiliar.. He said the caller wanted to ask about my computer. I recently had it serviced so I took the phone. The caller wasn't from Best Buy; it was a person with a heavy accent who said that Windows on my computer was trying contact a "dangerous site" & Microsoft wanted to fix the virus.. I knew it was a scam immediately; my computer runs Linux. I told him I don't use crap from Windows & to try his scam on someone else & hung up. I haven't had any return calls from this number. Yet.
had several calls from these [***] claiming to be the tacgar group and that i owe the a balance on a unpaid bill when i explained they had the wrong person they started asking about personal info ssn dob current adress
