I got a call from a company saying they are affiliated with Microsoft and they want to clear error messages from my computer and made me go to myinfopc.com so that they can clear the errors from my pc. They logged into my computer thy hanged up the phone. I think these people hacked into my PC!
IF people bother to review the forums etc on ths site.....most questions and concerns have already been addressed and answered !!!
more than likely ( 99 % ) one of the several " 202" area code fraud scams going around !!!
PLEASE NOTE !!! THESE SCAMMERS ARE ALSO IMPERSONATING THE US GOV'T / SEVERAL GOV'T OFFICES AND PERSONS....BEWARE !!!
some are landlines...many are cell phones...some are spoofed and linked to offshore foreign countries !!!!
we've traced back most of these numbers to offshore foreign call centers in INDIA / THAILAND / AFRICA / JAMAICA ETC....
here's a few other numbers posted from the same area code offering a wide variety of scams / fake emails and scams after posting something on craigslist ( old scam ) ...... collecting for non existant " payday loans "....free money / scam giveaways / $1,000's in free gov't money......... etc etc.....stories change out all the time......and the usual nonsense!!!
** mysteriously call to claim they have several thousand of dollars to send you....just provide you bank account and credit card right away etc etc.........scam scam
several of these are the usual long ongoing scams such as : you have won a free walmart / bestbuy gift card....or you have won a free ipad etc......all long ongoing scams
202-621-0436 ( offshore foreign call center ? ) poor english and violent on the phone! claim to be giving away $1,000's in free cash....just give them all your personal info etc........
Solicitors. I have asked MULTIPLE times to be removed from this number and they continue to call. Always with a heavy middle eastern accent and can barely understand English. When I called back to ask the name of the company, they stated they wouldn't tell me and that they don't have time for my 'games'.
Call them and let them continue to answer the phone.
