Who called from 3475353666

These characters are scam hackers (usually Pakistani Indian sounding) saying they are from Microsoft and your computer has been infected and trying to sell you some virus protection for several hundred dollars.  They get a bit irate when you start to question them and do not take advantage of what they are selling.  What they really want from you is personal, confidential information that will actually allow them access to your computer so.....don't fall for the scam or you may become a victim of computer hacking, identity theft etc.

Got a call from this number at 4:55pm CST. Guy found my info through a recently registered domain name purchase I made. I was quite clear that I didn't need their services, but he was real persistent. Did the classic trick of muting my line, and he went on for over 3 minutes. Good stuff!!

Also got the call so I reported them to Godaddy...

send all complaints to "[email protected]" - they have a department dedicated to combating these types of scams & harassments - ask your service providers for help in holding them accountable.

Here's the letter I wrote:

To whom it may concern,

I'm a long term customer of yours and a web developer that recommends / requires your services to all of my clients, in part due to your stellar customer service. I'm writing you today to inform you that the following number (347) 535-3666 calls a couple times a week under false pretense regarding newly registered domains w/ godaddy.

They yell at you if you ask to be removed from the list and say that you'll keep receiving calls for not purchasing domain protection from godaddy.

You ask them who they represent and they say there calling "Because of godaddy" - so clearly it's not their first rodeo.

I'm assuming you have more clout as an organization to shutting down backdoor operations like these. I don't want to get calls weekly regarding my business with you and hope that there is a process in place in order to mitigate these types of dealings other than me having to purchase domain protection for every single purchase I make.

Called claiming thatthere was a legal notice againstmeandIshould call back the DOJ at a Delaware number also known for scams.

I too keep receiving calls from a "roni" at this number (347) 535-3666.  He has a very heavy MiddleEastern  accent, told me he is calling me from India when I did the research and it's a NY number. Calling about to help me about a website domain that I just registered at GoDaddy.  I even called him out and told him he was scam and not to call my number any longer and he still does.  I have IT block the number if this happens again.  BEWARE of this number and anyone who calls from it.  It is  SCAM
