recorded call saying that they are from the irs and that they will take legal action if you don't return call! This is a scam**** caller ID said new york
I just received a call from this number at 5:30 in the morning EST. I was still in bed and I didn't get to the phone on time. The caller didn't leave a message. Worried that it was something important (most middle-of-the-night or early morning calls are NOT good news) I checked online and found this thread. Grrrrrr.
Just got off the phone with these people. They had the same message as Jerome,Mandie,Eastcoaster,Glenn10 and Chris (told me I had a virus). He said he was from windows and he was getting error messages from my computer. Not being completely literate in computers I trusted him until he tried to sell me the diamond protection package for 409.00$$.
I feel very stupid know because I allowed him to access my computer to show me the issues. I also filled out the information sheet but could not enter my debit card number because it has 17 digits not 16 like they wanted. He insisted that I use either visa or mastercard and I refused and told them to end the session.
Just received a call from 607 324 9764 like others. After the guy informed me that he received messages from my computer of viruses and poor performance, I rudely told him that if I had problem with my computer, I would call for text support. Furthermore, this was intrusive and I was hanging up.\
Just got off the phone with these people Here in Cardiff UK. They had the same message as Jerome,Mandie,Eastcoaster,Glenn10 and Chris And Stupid..... They told me that they had my authentic computer number...it was the vista generic number... Said we have been hacked
