Apparently my phone came to life and dialed this number by itself. Now I am getting charged for an outgoing call that I never made...who are these people? How does this happen? I had just activated my phone 1/2 hour ago :S
confused!
I just got a call 10 mins ago and just got dead air on the other end, too bad because I like to play games with the telemarketers. If it's someone that says they're from Windows I say, "no no I only have Apple computer" in a strange accent. You can always say "Windows? Don't you mean Microsoft, Microsoft makes Windows operating systems, get your story straight" and then hang up. Also, I have a "number disconnected" recording on my cellphone that I like to play when they call my home number. Have fun with them and make them feel like idiots, I rarely get calls anymore, I wonder why?! :-)
today I received call from that number and told me that calling from. redemption center Montreal, you are using visa / master card and we give you 100 gas Voucher and other discount and charged you only 1.95$ from my credit card, by mistake I gave her my credit card information and my full name, I don't no what happene next, I worry about this, lets c what happen with me.
I am in the right path!
I am not overly suspicious, but I do pay attention; it happens that at this moment I am waiting for a number of very important calls, so when I got a call from this number, I thought that is one of my important. I called back, and got nothing, few times.
Somehow, I decided to google the number (first time ever I did that with a phone number), and....surprise!Here I am, finding out about this scam.
LESSON for everybody: if you do not feel really, really sure about something, just google it.
got two calls one from 416-360-8654 and he identified himself from 'the computer care' and his name was George. I've received calls from them several times them asking about my renewal of my product license on my Apple product, and every time I tell them I don't own an Apple product. This time I told 'George' that if I received another call I would call the police and hung up... 30 SECONDS LATER from 416-360-8356 George calls back saying 'go ahead A^^@$^ I dare you call police, my name George and I'm telling you to call F@#$%@#$ police now, do it.'
