PLEASE NOTE !!! THESE SCAMMERS ARE ALSO IMPERSONATING THE US GOV'T / SEVERAL GOV'T OFFICES AND PERSONS....BEWARE !!!
- new twist is they are also impersonating DEA officials with threats to arrest you unless you immediately send money via wire transfer / western union to some offshore country !!!!! obvious scam !!!
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 / calling on behalf of a humane society..... $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........
i have recieved several calls from this number on a daily basis they claimed to be from microsoft and wanted to fix problems with my computer and wanted me to download something i told them i don't know who they are and i was not going to do as they asked and hung up they had a foreign accent it was hard to understand them so i typed in their phone number on search and it brought me here i'm so glad i did
Keep receiving calls from 202 354 8935 a man with thick accent clearly NOT american. He keeps askn me if i am who i am. On a couple occasions i say may i tell her who is calling and click goes the phone. Most times i say i am who i am and click goes phone. Ive tried calling it back and it just drops the call. I enter area code and it says Washington DC "who the hell do i know from DC" typed whole number into search engine brought me to this website. I wont be answering that call NO MORE!
I ave received over 20 calls in three days from this number on my cell. BE WARNED, also 206-496-0982. THE LAST time these calls came MY COMPUTER WAS HACKED, this guy doesn't let up. Even tho the calls are on my cell it is synched with my desktop. TAKE EXTRA SECURITY measures.
I have also started to receive calls from this number, but i have not answered them. This problem started about 2 weeks ago, some man with a thick indian accent called and said something was wrong with my computer and I told him I was not home and he said I will call you back. There was nothing wrong with my computer and he didnot call back until 2 days ago. Now these 2 strange telephone numbers are calling me. There has to be some way to stop these calls.
