Got a call on Sunday afternoon from supposedly Hewlett Packard wanting to ask me "privacy questions". (Big Red Flag) I could barley understand what she was saying. Out of suspicion and frustration I ended the call and promptly called the real HP (866-999-4747). The person I talked to spoke very well and stated they have had alot of fraud cases recently and for me to initiate a call to HP on Monday to verify my recent online laptop purchase to ensure no fraudulent activity has occurred.
I got a call from this same number from a person saying they were from HP. It was about a laptop I ordered last night where my billing address is in a state where I currently do not live.
I called HP via the number on their website (888-999-4747) to verify that this call came from HP. It did indeed come from HP.
I missed this call, so I didn't actually speak with the person, but I got it shortly after I made an order with HP. The number is apparently not fraudulent (judging by the other comments here), but if someone steals your card and commits fraud, you may get a legitimate call from them if the person stealing your card places an order with HP.
I am trying hard to call: +1 281 514 3547 but keep getting "The number you have dialed had not been recognised" This is supposed to be a HP helpdesk line? Great
I recieved this call while on my other line, so I didn't answer it.
What confuses me is this: if it is for the Proliant Server support center, why are they calling me? I did order a laptop from HP this morning, but somehow I doubt it would classify as a server. (sarcasm)
If the call had to do with my order, why was no message left? When I attempted to call the number back I recieved the message "Invalid extension" and was cut off.
What gives?
