I also got a call from 312-545-6891 and they claimed I had a virus in my computer. When I told him I had no problems and I had a computer tech who monitors my computer he called me a Fat F**KING Old Lady. I told him my son was a cop and I had his number on my call ID and I was reporting him, he hung up.
I got a call at my home in Kentucky, no message left, from this number at about 1:40 this afternoon. A google search returns that this is "The Best Art Coach" located in Chicago. When you click to the associated website www.thebestartcoach.com, it re-directs to kleinartistworks.com which apparently is some kind of "Art Career Advisor" which runs 'webinars'.
I suspect this is the internet version of the old matchbook and comic book ads for Art Instruction Schools correspondence courses (Draw Me!). While the school was real, anyone who sent in a drawing was subjected to high pressure salesmen.
You can make up your own mind about today's version.
Yes, I keep getting calls from this number. Claims to want to talk about a windows computer. I have told them time and time again to stop calling. Tonight the guy got rude and disrespectful...I have filed yet ANOTHER complaint with the DNC registry.
Unintelligible guy told me my computer was infected with a virus, and he was from Microsoft Windows. I pinned him down to give me my computer ID.......he gave me a 32 digit ID number. At that point I told him that was BS, and he needed to get a real job. THEN, he called me a [***] [***].
DO NOT ANSWER THIS PHONE NUMBER........BAD!
I answered to dead air - from above posts it appears that the caller ID has been hijacked by some scumbag scammers pulling the old "I'm from Microsoft Windows & your computer has a virus" scam. Just tell them that's really interesting since you don't own a windows based computer and if he was legit he would know you use only Apple products. That should shut them up, but blocking the number is about the only way to stop them at least once. Since they are not really calling from the number shown on your caller ID, they may just call back with another "spoofed" number.
Scammer with an indian accent about windows infecting my computer - asked what kind of computer I had - did not know - asked for his supervisor and you could here the background noise of a calling room.
