I received a call on my cell that was an automated message, male voice with slight non-descriptive accent (understandable). He said that he was calling from AT&T and that my U-Verse system was reporting an error and that my system had been compromised and that I needed to call back at the same number. TOTAL SCAMMING/PHISHING operation. BLOCKED THE NUMBER.
Received a call from this fraudulent phone number but i didn't answer the phone! These fake Microsoft, Indian scammers didn't leave a message on my voicemail! If you receive a call from 201-768-4886, immediately report the call to the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau! These foreigners are attempting to hack into your computer, steal your money and identity!
They called and I had them on the ropes for 15 minutes. Total scam asking to get remote access to your computer to fix "very bad problems." Very savvy talkers mentioning all of the key words to make you think and say hmmmmmm. I can see how someone with little knowledge or even the elderly fall for this scam. I questioned the number they were calling from (Washington State) when they said NJ. Then they changed it to NYC and I asked what borough and got a "Jefferson Heights" which is actually west of Hudson, NY with a population of 1200. I finally called bullsh*t and they hung up very quickly.
