Got a call just a few minutes ago.... Same spill as an earlier post, Said they had been recieving error messages at Microsoft HeadQuarters about my computer being infected with the "Trojan Back Virus". I didn't know anything about this number or scam, so innocently I went along... until he wanted me to connect my computer to a website so that he could walk me through the "dis-infection" of my computer... Like others I got supscious by this time... asking for a number where I could call him back after verification of the company and the threat... Scary thing is that he called my Parents by name and had thier home address. Unfortunately for him I happened to answer my parents phone and realized this was a scam. Tell everyone that you know about this... its kinda scary what he could do if you connected your computer to his over the net.
I play along with them sometimes and make them suffer by being totally computer illiterate. I had them on the phone one day for 45 minutes and they were clearly getting extremely frustrated, one even transferred me to his supervisor. LOL When they asked again for me to repeat the url they wanted me to type in I repeated it back "www.fuc*you.com" They called me a few choice words, stating I needed therapy and hung up. LOL
I live in GA. I received a call from this number in California but did I do not answer numbers I do not recognize. The partial voice message talked about a free heart screening. Said to "press one" if I was interested, but cut off before the end of the message. Sounds fishy.
