I received a call this morning from this number, a women with a very
Heavy Indian accent asking to speak to my husband. When I told her
he was not Avaliable she hung up on me. I only initially answered the call
because all of our school text books come from this
Company. I called back the number to find out it was a scam.
Received a call this morning from a male with very heavy accent saying my computer had been hacked and I
had a virus. When I had to have him repeat several things I could not understand, he got very defensive. Two
can play that game. I had someone here who I claimed was my attorney. I put him on the phone and he played the part to a tee. The male on the other end hung up!
They never say anything to me when they call. I answer, say, "Hello", and it's nothing but silence on their end. I wish they would start talking to me. I could have so much fun messing with them for a few minutes then blowing a horn or a whistle into the phone.
If you are receiving telephone calls with the caller id displaying telephone # 212 438-7895 please be advised that it is a scam. The scammers may ask you to call back at telephone # 866 539-8674 which claims to be a company," Arjunaa Internet Security". After interviewing several people the caller has identified themselves initially from McGraw-Hill. Once again the call is a scam and they want access to your computer and credit card and may be installing viruses in your computer.
Please do not fall for this scam.
The telephone # 212 438-9875 was shut down however the scammers continue to use it via spoffing on the caller id. We have put the number back in service only to alert the public of the scam. The company has no way to stop the overseas callers from dialing and harassing the public. Please report the scam to the FCC. They will not investigate complaints reported by corporations. If enough reports are filed with the FCC by the public they will review further as per the FCC.
Do not answer any further calls from these numbers. They then move on to the next vicitm who may have read this.
