Received a call from these idiots and I decided to put them on the hot foot. Told them we knew all about their operation and threatened them with the usual law suit even told them where they are from. This woman's name is Ellen from Credit Services in New Jersey. They had been calling previously but the person they wanted isn't at my number and I didn't care. Maybe the Attorney General's Office in each State including New Jersey should be contacted.
This phone call was an obvious scam, I ended up playing along to see what they got in store. They said that they were from something along the lines of microsoft located in San Francisco, which is very suspicious considering that the phone call doesn't seem professional at all however it was not that weird hearing the caller with a foreign accent since companies outsource customer service, call centers. They said that my computer was sending them error messages, something about the i.p address and they want me to follow their directions. The phone call was completely a joke, I hung up and they called again within a minute with a different phone number. I asked for the manager and they said they they were going to transfer me, one second later it was the same guy, thinking that I can't tell difference saying that he's the manager. Ended up yelling at him for his foolishness of calling back and thinking that I would believe him. I googled what he said before he called the second time and found this post, made me even sure that it that was a scam so I told him straight up that I won't believe him and this phone call is a scam. Got so mad to the point where I used ONE profane word and he yelled me to shut up and swore in return. I'm pretty sure microsoft wouldn't swear at their customers right? By the way, the phone numbers are 360-633-9006 and 253-236-2020, both appeared as washington on my caller id.
received a call from # 253-236-2020 stating that they have received information that a virus was on my computer and to follow his instructions. I did not believe what he was telling me and I told him that, he stated his employe number was 707.. and he gave me a toll free number to call 1-877-778-9298.
I do not recall the name of the company
I do not know what the angle was but it sounded hinky to me.
Just came up on my call display and I never answer. The numbers are spoofed (not real). They could
be coming from anywhere in the world. I dont answer any number I don t know.
If anyone phones saying the are from Visa or that dont give them any info. Tell them you are phoning
the number on the back of your visa card and hang up. Its the same thing likely a scam.
Anyone who has read a newspaper knows this Microsoft business is a scam
Dont be calling any numbers You dont have a virus. Microsoft does not REPEAT
does not monitor your machine.
A man with a very strong accent called my mom. He knew her name. He told her there was something wrong with her computer. She doesn't even own a computer!
Last week someone took money from my checking account unauthorized. I closed my account and reported it. A few days later I started receiving threatening phone calls. This man has my soc number and told me I'm in serious trouble and danger. I called the police and got a new cell number. Also put a 7 year alert out to all three credit reporting agencies. Less than 3 hours later he started calling me at work! Again leaving threatening messages. He used my boss's name too! He said he was him! My boss called and had words with them. They claim to be a law firm. It's a huge fraud/scam! Do NOT engage in conversation with these people. They are thieves! They will steal your money first chance they get. They already took my money! Now I have a new checking account, new cell number and new work number. So now they are calling my mom. These guys are [***]!
