385-555-0143 - Indian accent- said two people have been accessing my computer. Asked me If I was near my computer. When i asked him who he worked for, he said 'i squad'. Felt scam -y. He said he serviced windows computers. We don't own windows computers. He hung up after that.
I was left a message on a Friday 9/19 at 1:10 threatening me telling me I was involved in a Judicial Case, and they were calling so I could get good Lawyer.
Recieved a call from this # stating that they were calling from microsoft technical support and that some malicious spyware was downloaded on my computer and was trying to get me to go to my computer and do something (probably download some type of hacking software). Anyway, I was not near my computer at the time. I refused and began to question their validity. He stated that he would call me back in a couple hours when I would be near my computer, only to call right back without realizing with the same storyline. When he realized that he had called the same person back he hung up. I tried to call the # back and a general operator recording stating that "Your call could not be completed as dialed. Please check the # and dial again." Please beware of this! Seems as though they have moved from the U.S. Attorney legal action scam to now Microsoft technical support scam!
I got the call stating they were from the Treasury Department and that ignoring the phone call would call for a case of fraud. The obviously a robot voice even gave a badge number in the threat. I worked for the IRS for a number of years so I knew immediately this was a scam. The IRS never uses an automated system to contact anyone for reasons of the privacy laws. They always contact you by mail. Also, if they were going to bring you in on fraud charge the first you would hear of it would be when the subpoena arrived.
