This guy calls Christmas Eve 2014 and claims to be John from AT&T. he says they R receiving signals from a bad program on my computer and wants to walk me through it. I instantly suspect scam and asked to call him back. Instead I called AT&T direct and confirmed he was a scammer. Be careful.
saw an uknown number didnt waste my time to ans. Most of the calls i get lately are scam.Being on the do not call registry is a joke. I get nonsence calls almost daily so stopped answering.
Just got a call. They said they were ATT and noticed I had suspicious activity on my computer. They wanted me pull up a browser and type remote123.us into the address bar. I acted like I was doing it then asked his name again. He said he was Paul Wilson. Instead of typing in the address bar I did a search on remote123 scam.
I then told him my anti-virus just popped up and said this is a scam site (it didn't, but I knew it was a scam). Then I said another screen popped up and told me to tell him to go f himself and hung up.
This is the 4th call like this in a matter of 3 months.
In the last six months have you had AT&T ConnecTech assist you in an computer issues? I did. I am thinking information is getting out through a source connected to this technical group. I was not receiving these calls until I had AT&T ConnecTech try to provide customer service. I wonder if the techs I had problem with are selling client info to screw with us.
