just got a call from 607-363-9766. the caller claimed to me from the IRS and that a lawsuit was being filed against me and i need to immediately call the return number back with personal information.
Called my cell phonw (which is on a do not call list for telemarketers) and I didn't answer becaust I didn't recognize the number. No message was left and when I tried returning the call, it just rings with no answer.
He wanted to help me fix my computer. I told him I knew it was a scam. I told him he was a liar .... He called me a [***] an said I should go have sex with my Father.
Got a call this morning (holiday monday). Said he was from Windows Support and that there was a problem with my computer. Told him that I was 100% sure there wasn't. He then hung up. This was the second call in 2 months from these people.
This number called me today telling me my PC had issues and I needed to speak with them right away. I immediately asked them how they got my number and mentioned I was on the do not call list. They agent then stated "Your computer is at risk and we need to speak right away about this urgent issue". I repeated I was on the do not call list - informed him I would be calling the authorities and reporting his number and he hung up.
I just got a call from this number from people w/heavy accents saying they were from Windows and that my computer was at risk and had a lot of errors and warnings which I know my computers been running really slow so they walked me thru a few steps and I saw where I do have a bunch of errors and warnings but then when they got to a point where they wanted me to tell them an ID # that was on the screen I was wondering if it was a scam and told them my computer froze up and asked if there was # I could reach them back on. She then "connected" me to her supervisor and he said it was very important to do it now and restart my computer so they could help me. I told them I was busy and asked again for their # which he would not give to me and said he'd try later and hung up. I sure hope they didn't get any info from me!!!! I got a call on call waiting from the same company except the one # was from NY and the other from CO! Obviously it's a scam!!!
