A woman called me from this number, claiming to be calling from my bank. She knew my name and knew my banking information, besides the credit card number itself. She said she noticed I was a good customer and because of that she as sending me $100 in free gas and free air plane tickets. All she needed was $1.95. I told her I would not be giving her my credit card number. She then tried to tell me they are an honest company, been doing this for years. I assured her again, you will get nothing from me.
Well, I'm sure you have been doing this for years - SCAMMING that is! Lady, I wish you were reading this. You are a HORRIBLE person for trying to scam people! HORRIBLE!
Needless to say I did not give out my information. I hung up on her.
I just got a call from a bogus Computer Maintenance Department, saying I have disturbing traffic from one of my computers. They want to remotely connect to my computer and fix the problem.
This scam is so they can hijack your machine and hold you ransom, until you pay them to unlock your computer. Do not let them on to your machine!
Just got a call from a man with a very thick Indian accent claiming to be "Kevin Smith" calling from Windows. I've read about this scam before so I came back with "You are so full of $hit! Don't call this number again!" and then I blew my rape whistle into the phone and hung up on him. I always keep a whistle by the phone for just such occasions. Telemarketers tend not to call more than once.
