I just spoke with Andy from the FCC, who advised that I should report this to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and my state attorney general. The FTC number is (877) 382-4357. The number for the New York State attorney general is (800) 771-7755. (Of course, all state attorneys general are listed in the phone book [what's that????] or on the Internet. I just happen to be from New York.)
I can't believe I got a call from this phone number again telling me that my computer has an extreme virus. . It seems like there are more than one person in this scam. Yesterday a receive a call from a guy with a heavy accent and today I get another call from a women also with heavy accent. From this site, I realize a lot of people receive the same calls from this couple. I wonder why the owner of the line does not do anything about it?
I got the call today. woman, heavy accent, asking about computer, etc. I figured it was a scam, so, when she asked for me by name, I followed a suggestion of a friend. My reply? "Homicide devision, please state your full name, where you are calling from, and why are you calling the deceased phone number. and fyi, this call is being recorded for possible prosecution." Her answer? Homicide? you mean you have a body there? She couldn't get off the phone fast enough.
