Someone called from this number today and appeared to be phishing for personal credit card information. After much prodding he claimed to be with Bank of America...and his initial line was that I had not responded to some inquiry about lowering my interest rate. When I pressed and refused to give info, he hung up. Bank of America credit card holders beware. I called Bank of America support and they confirmed he was not from Bank of America
This number came up as "Dir Assist OK" on my phone. They left no message, but similar calls came from "Dir Assist AZ" and "Direct Assist AK." The AZ number was 928-555-0175 and the AK number was 907-555-0173. I answered the AK call and was told that I was having trouble with my computer because I wasn't receiving the new updates. This was clearly a phishing scam with the intention of gaining access to my computer and identity. I asked for his company's name and he said, iExplore. There is a company with that name but it is a family vacation company. He couldn't tell me MY name, the person he called to help with computer issues. I told him to never call my home again and to not call anyone else with his bogus "help."
Called and said that social security number came up with a warrant, gave a law offices name and number said call before 11 am tomorrow. When I called the answering machine just said I have reached 5092409731, how unprofessional I always thought law office said their name and number...scam totally ...the voice mail they left me didn't say anyone's name for whom they were calling for...
I received a call today (on my answering machine) from this number, saying she was from the US Treasury, that I was to call a number immediately or else be arrested. The number she gave me had too many numbers and if the Treasury wants anything from anyone, they send letters. This is not the only Dir [***] call I have been getting but it was the first to leave a message.
