Rec'd call just now from this number. Man w/accent said I had been awarded a government grant in the amount of (& this cracks me up) exactly ($9,148.26) & I would absolutely never have to pay it back. I politely interrupted him and told him, first off, remove my number from your list & secondly, I am not an idiot that falls for these scams & to have a nice day.
They called and said that they were receiving reports from my computer and wanted to speak to the computer user. Me being in the IT field already new that this was phishing so I played with him for a minute only to tell him that I wanted to know how my computer was sending reports when it was not on.
i've received 2 known calls from this number: (315) 000-0000 and got a recorded message. Our phone number IS and HAS BEEN on the Do Not Call list since the beginning of it. The calls from this number are NOT legitimate calls from a legitimate business.
I file a report each time with the Federal Trade Commission. https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1
Filing a complaint with the Federal Communication Commission will not give you results.
Call came from a busy call center, couldn't understand him but he knew my name and asked if I remembered him, said he was from Walmart and kept telling me I was stupid! Kinda freaks me out because I was at Walmart today. Not sure if I should contact Walmart or not.
Called twice in a few minutes time. I have my phone hooked to a remote caller ID so that it never rings but I check the caller ID throughout the day so I can return calls that are important. Since I have been doing this very few scam calls call anymore. Maybe one in a week. When they call it rings and rings, so I hope if it is a computer that it wastes its time for at least a minute.
