Got a call on Oct-08 at 7:45 pm, said that the call from some company (not heard it clearly) on behalf of Canada Protection Agency, that my computer was hacked by some third party and they were asking money on behalf of my name. But as his voice was not clear, I ask them about their phone no to call back, he gave me the no, 323-647-4977 and his name is Shawn William. when I searched for this no on internet, shows that, it's belongs to Los Angeles.
My mom got a call from a heavily Indian accented man claiming to a "John Matthews". He said our computers (10-15 of them.. we are a normal household...) had been hacked and he wanted my mom to go on the computer and do a bunch of stuff to fix it. My mom said she didn't know how to operate computers very well and asked him to call the Ontario Provincial Police to come to our house to help her. The man promptly hung up on her. Such a scammer.
My mom got a call 6:10pm 14 Nov. The caller claimed to be "John Mathews" and was calling on behalf of the Federal Government. He knew her first name and he did not have an accent. He told her one of the computers in the house has a program on it that it is not suppose to have. She asked him several times for his work number so she could call him back. After he refused to give her the number, she hung up on him.
