Who called from 2124387895

I just got this call...and, I've actually seen "McGraw-Hill" caller ID at other times but didn't pick up; though I often wondered about those calls.  This time I did pick up...boy, what a dumb mistake that was (although, at least now I know NOT to pick up again when McGraw-Hill calls!).  

Whoever it is doing this, they work pretty hard at trying to get you to do what they want you to do in your computer, don't they?  I'm not sure what the final results would be if one were to follow their instructions, but I bet it's not a good thing!

I went along with them for a few minutes (but didn't really follow the steps they were telling me to do), then I finally told them I didn't think I liked the whole thing, because I "don't know them from Adam", and I really couldn't understand them, and how would they know if my computer was infected in the first place?  They kept trying to insist that I must follow their instructions or my computer might not work anymore because they had info that at least 65 others in my zip code had already lost the use of their computers, or something like that.  I thanked them, then I said I had to go...and said good-bye.

Just received a call from 212-438-7895 with a caller ID reading McGraw Hill Com.  The women stated that she was calling regarding a problem with my computer.  When asked how she knows that there is a problem she stated they had the information.  I told her to stick the information and hung up.  I then called the phone number that appeared and an automated message played from McGraw Hill that stated their number had been spoofed and that anyone calling about a computer problem was trying to run a scam.  DO NOT CONNECT TO YOUR COMPUTER if you receive this call.

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. Authorities have been alerted and investigating further.
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. Please report the calls to The Federal Communications Commission: 1 888-225-5322. It does not matter if you are on the Do Not Call list. It appears they are calling from India and the Do Not Call list is disregarded.
Also, please report the incident to your local law enforcement officials.
Thank you,

Do not answer any further calls from these numbers. They then move on to the next vicitm who may have read this.

Please read posting on the internet:
I'm an employee of arjun group of industries in a similar outbound call center.
I'm now disclosing all our company's secret out here because I'm feeling guilty to be part of a very big scam and don't want my country's name to tarnish. The MD of arjun group of industries is Mr. Ankit Jaiswal.
We are totally a scam and we have three processes namely The UK process where we are required to scam the nice people of the UK. The second is the US process where the same thing is done to the US people and last but not the least they recently introduced an austrailian process.
well the scamming first starts with a phone call from a british accented indian. he says " Hello I'm david (my alias name) am i speaking with ... (Your last name) then starts to tell that ur computer might have downloaded a very dangerous online infection that is very dangerous for ur computer and they came to know all about it after they saw ur IP address was blinking in their server system.
after a lot of talks they ask for money.

Facts:
1. Those errors and warnings are nothing but page faults in the operating system. Windows just logs it down.
2. There is nothing as the open gateway of the internet from where these so called infections can come.
3. There is nothing as the International Server System. These gys buy your telephone number from various companies.
4. Your IP (Internet Protocol) address cannot blink coz its not something which can report anything. Its just the identification of ur computer in the network.

DOs'
1. Hang Up the phone as soon as u hear any of rthose above said dialogues.
2. Never ever download anything or do anything they tell u to do so.
3. DO NOT CONNECT UR COMPUTER REMOTELY. DO NOT GO TO
(i) www.logmein123.com
(ii) www.ammyy.com
4. Do not ever give ur credit card details or fill any of the claimed Secured Banking Form from them. because if u come to this point then they would be able to see anything ur doing with the computers as ur computer is already connected.

please please do read it once and ask if u have any queries...
