This number has called twice in the last 10 minutes. No message left and because I can't find a legitimate company associated with this number, I'm blocking it.
Common scam I've heard over the past few years, only this was the poorest attempt I've ever heard. They say there's a serious issue with your computer (usually claiming to be windows tech support). They'll ask you to navigate through your computer settings to mess with you. At least have a joke at their expense before hanging up!
The calls are from scammers in India who change the spoofed number they use every 3 to 20 days. Their pattern is to call on 'bursts', that is call every day (up to 3 times a day) for 3 - 5 days (sometimes using different numbers), stop for a few days, then repeat.
Besides BEAR COM appearing on your phone's I.D., I have seen the following over the past 12 months -
NAME NOT FOUND
Out of area
ROSEAU DM
TEXAS
U.S. CELLULAR
XXXXXXXXXX OH
If anyone knows how to cuss in Hindi, please post how to say it phonetically as I'd love to tell the scumbag what I think of him, his mother and the cow she rode into town on.
Caller stated there were several error messages from my computer while browsing the internet. I asked for the company name (Electronic blah blah blah). I asked him how in the F*CK they could have such information, as I have no contract with said company. Caller then stated (repeatedly), "so you want to [***]?"
I have reported to Do Not Call... whatever good that will do.

So, this guy says' you have a problem with your computer' and i ask him how he knows that- babble babble - and of course there is so much noise in the background it's hard to hear his actual spiel
