Received a call from this number today and caller id showed McGraw Hill Com. Man on phone started talking about computer security and I immediately told him I was on the do not call list and if he called.....at that point he slammed the phone down on me.
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,
