just got a call from a guy "Frank", asking to talk to Ms____ (my name), saying that my Windows 7 operating system has been hacked and he needed to "fix" it...Very noisy in the background....Smelling a rat I told him nobody by that name lived here...Wanted to know my name and if my computer was "on" Told him NO.....Told him I had a bad connection and I would call him.
Gave me a phone# 40-1-866-999-1487 from Salt Lake City....Called back and can't connect with this number...My caller ID shown 1-206-397-1126
i too got this guy was very insistent that i turn my comp on and download files .... I told him to shove it and that if he called again i would contact the Feds as he was obviously trying to scam me .... call originates on my Caller ID as Seattle, WA. and he said he was calling form india... dont know when India moved to Seattle, WA ... tried to call them back phone rang one time and then did nothing ....
I have gotten multiple calls from this number, it's always the same Indian guy asking for someone named Julia. When I tell him there is no one here by that number he asks if I'm lying! Asks if I would like a "friendship" with him and wants my email. What the....??? Didn't hang up this time until I told him I had the phone company recording and tracking the call.
