got call from same number said free goverment money wanted bank account number im not stupid i askrd questions how do i know this is not a scam they gave me another number to call which was also bogus i contacted the attorney general in my area to report this
Saw this number on my caller ID when I got back from working the night shift. Display indicated it was from "BODYSHOPDIGITAL" and the call was placed at approx 12:30am EST!!!! No message was left on the answering machine. Thankfully I work nights otherwise I would have been quite upset! I haven't bothered to call back, maybe I'll treat them to a late night call one of these days :)
I would speculate that this isn't a real "body shop" and probably similar to those annoying "Rachel from Card Holder Services" type scams. Probably best to ignore it.
I want to make a correction. The call wasn't from a telemarketer or scammer. I had my friend from Australia call using a phone card and the "bodyshopdigital" seems to be the carrier service. She emailed me 5min after the call was placed to let me know she was trying to reach me. Don't necessarily right off this number, it could be someone traveling or abroad trying to call you.
IF YOU ARE SO SURE ABOUT WHAT YOUR SAYING BOB THEN YOU SHOULD GIVE THIS GUY YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBERS AND THEN SEE, MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY IN THAT ACCOUNT. THIS INDIAN ACCENT GUY IS A SCAM PERSON AND THERE IS NO DOUBT IN OUR MIND THAT THIS GUY IS TRYING TO SCAM PEOPLE, BOB MAYBE YOUR WITH HIM.
This is a scam!! Do not give any of your credit card info!! A man with an Indian accent has been calling my house non stop. He keeps telling us our computer is in danger it has a very bad virus all our documents will be lost if we don't allow him to fix it. He then will ask for your credit card number. The number has come home private but this last time it came up body shop digital.
THIS IS A SCAM. Read about the your-PC-is-infected scam here http://news.softpedia.com/news/Cold-Call-Tech ... on-150170.shtml They lie about your PC sending out malware, error messages, etc., and say your PC is about to crash to frighten you into giving them remote control of your PC to fix the nonexistent problem (don't let them!). If they ask you to open the systems tab in eventvwr.msc to see all the errors, these harmless errors are *normal* for any Windows PC (mine has several and it runs just fine). Don't let them take control of your PC because they can download *real* malware, possibly a malware suite, that can spam, steal bank logins and personal info, etc. If they've remoted into your PC, the safest fix is to re-format your drive and re-install your OS assuming you have clean backups of your data. You can try scanning with various antivirus software but scanning may not find all the malware. If you don't know how, get help from friends or pay a local shop to do it. THIS IS A SCAM.
