A guy that didn't give his name and gave no reason for calling and had a strange accent called from this number. He started asking weird questions about my computer starting with the question "Are you the owner of the computer in your home?". I hung up then because I thought it was very weird.

I just received a call on our work line from 212-044-1236 reading "NEW YORK". A man on the other line said he was calling to service our computers by phone. I asked who requested this service but he did not reply. When I asked him his name he said "Bruce" and when I asked for a last name, he replied "Willis"... Bruce Willis I asked. And the man rudely asked if I speak English. I laughed at the absurdity and he hug up. This is a joke, don't fall for it.
It's a scam.... don't fall for it. A guy who had a thick accent called and told me was calling in regards to my computer. I told him that I knew he was a scam artist and I wouldn't fall for it. Just hung up on him.
He gave a fake company name. Also, it came up on my caller ID as "name not found".
They called my girl friend. They told her that she just got a new computer and something was wrong with it. She said that she wanted them to call back later when I was home. I looked up the number and saw all comments on this number.
Apparently whoever is perpetrating these prank and/or scam calls is now using another similar moniker: 212-077-1236 for their next “gig”.
An unsolicited and unwanted call was made to our phone using 212-044-1236 in the PM of 11.15.2013 and a male voice leaving a goofy “Hello, hello, hello...” message was left with no other identifying comments.
Call made again today in the PM appearing as 212-077-1236 with no message whatsoever left this time.
We suspect this is the same scammer that have been repeatedly parading as 212-044-1236 because it's a very similar number and has same call back characteristics (number out of service).
We recommend registering with https://www.donotcall.gov/ (we have done this), and also spreading the news whoever is using 212-044-1236 may now be using 212-077-1236, so that more people can block and stonewall this scammer for good.
