Received call from someone saying they are from IT World Canada. They actually have been constantly calling my work for the past week, my colleague would try to put them through to my voicemail as I know it is a scam. I finally decided to talk to them today and like last year, these ppl want to send me a report through my email they have?! like ok... he said he got the info from my supervisor in the US.... I am not in the US lol I told the guy to remove me from their list and stop calling, which I did when they call last year claiming to be calling on behalf of Symantech - name of company in the email was Candorworks, in Pune.
Claimed that they were calling from Safety Canada, and that hackers were using my IP address. Replied that it's a scam and hung up. Will block future calls.
We just got a second call from this outfit. They said somebody was using my husband's computer from Mexico. This is obviously false as he is not on any network. I told them to take a hike. It was very difficult to understand the heavy foreign accent.
I got a phone call from this number, claiming my computer has been hacked, he got me go into a web site and gain access to my computer, I think he must have stolen all my files.
The phone number is being spoofed. The true owner of the number ITWC has launched an investigation with the RCMP.
If you phone the number, an automated system indicates that their number is being misused, and allow you to leave your name and number to assist in the investigation.
I just got the call as well though I didn't answer as I didn't recognize the number. Sounds like a pretty vicious one based on the comments here. But yeah, the actual number is a legitimate media outlet which is basically suffering the corporate equivalent of identity theft by the sounds of it.
