I keep getting this call and they asked us where we lived my sister had answered it, she then got 3 questions 1. What's your name, she replied 2. How old are you? She replied again. Then question three 3. Where do you live? She didn't reply I hung up the phone and my family is now scared.
I have been getting calles from this number every day. She asked me if my name is Sara. I said, who is this she said she is with the school and trying to contact one of the parents, The strange thing is she had my phone number but was calling from another state. I told her to put us on a do not calling list. I am having serious problems with my house being robbed no matter what we do I can't get it to stop and have gone to the police station 3 times already. I am not sure if they are calling to see if I am at home. At no point did she ask about my computer. I called the number back yesterday and it was a Walmart number and instructed me to presss1 to get my free $100,00 gift card, I presses one in trying to talk to a live person. I just sat there listing to music. I am going to contact Corporate office for Walmart tomorrow To find out what is going on with this number that is registered to them. I really hope they call again.
comes across caller id as Philadelphia school district but then ways then are from Microsoft and that my computer is not accepting updates but I know it is so I hung up
received call with CallerID showing as 215-220-2321 - but caller did not leave message
so i called the number back and it claimed to be about "we have a WalMart or Target $100 Gift Voucher"
"To receive your voucher, please press 1 now"
so i pressed 1 just for fun
and got connected to weird music and then eventually someone called "Angela" with a perfect USA accent "Are you calling about your $100 Walmart gift voucher?"
Funny. I work at Microsoft. My wife had too. Received this call from a foreign male stating that he was from Windows technical support and their report showed my computer wasn't updating...and that I needed to press the Control key plus another key on my computer. I played stupid for a bit, but felt an urge to call him out. He than stated my wife's name (pronouncing it wrong) and asked about her computer. I should have played along a bit longer to get a better understand what they are attempting to have unsuspected victims do. Unfortunately, once I challenged him and stated that I work for Microsoft and have no issues with my machine, he hung up. Important piece here is that it appears that they not only have our numbers, but our names as well. If anyone has an opportunity to receive this call and reads this, play along with the caller, just do not perform any actions on your machine. We need to identify what they are requesting users to perform. It is obviously a scam.
