I got a text message from this number stating that they were from the law enforcement department. They did not give a specific name or identity to this law enforcement department. They said they were notifying me that there was a warrant of arrest issued in my name so I needed to call them or have my attorney call as soon as possible. The text message said that it was from Joseph Morris from law enforcement. This is a New York number I live in Illinois. I have not been to New York in years! And to my knowledge I have not done anything illegal!
Nice man from an outsourced call center says my computer wasn't accepting Microsoft updates. He said he was a Certified Microsoft Support Specialist. He told me to go turn on my computer so he could help me update my PC. I told him I had an Apple and he said sorry and told me to have a nice day.
A coworker got the same call recently and they managed to charge him $100. Poor man is slow, that's not cool.
I was using the internet on my cell when the call came in, it was a different number initially then changed to this number, which leads me to believe they're using one of those systems that keeps you from knowing their true phone number. I forget what it's called.
this number kept calling me but not leaving a voicemail. When I called it back a man with a heavy accent answered and claimed he was a microsoft certified technician, then asked for my information to look up my account. I asked him if he was a scammer and he just repeated his, I'm a tech, speech. I then accused him of it and told him not to call or I would report him and he hung up on me.
