I missed the call because I didn't pick up. If I don't recognize number nor caller ID, I don't pick up. If important, caller could've left a message but didn't.
Some sort of a recorded message. Sounded like really bad reception and I could not understand a word of it. Listed as a Maryland call but when I called it back the recording stated that the call could only be made from a landline? Weird since they called my cell phone.
It is a scam. I have been getting calls from different area codes, but the exchange of "555" is always the same. Don't answer or call back. If you do call it back, you need to look at your phone bill when it comes in. Calling back is what they want you to do because it incurs charges on your phone bill and these scammers can't be traced. If you have the ability to block these calls, do it.
They call telling you that your computer has viruses and that you should download a program that will allow them to remove such viruses. If you have more than two or three problems on the computer, they will charge you $299. When you call the number back, it states to check the number and try again.
Thurs, 6-26-14, 4:54 EDT: Caller ID shows Maryland 1-301-555-0118. Caller said he was Sean from Microsoft Technical Dept. He had my name, which is extremely unpublished (only certain departments of my phone company even have it). I asked him where he got my name and number and he said it was registered with Microsoft when I got my computer. I derisively said "No, it's not!" I know of others who have not personally bought a computer from a store in over 15 years that got this call. He asked if I was the main user of the computer. I said demandingly "None of your business. Why are you calling?" He started to try to form a reply, then hung up, probably at the direction of someone else, but maybe just on his own.
