I had the call from a guy I could barely understand (I speak french), indian accent for sure.
He said he was calling for Microsoft from I didn't understand the company name, he said I donwloaded a virus!!!
Anybody with an once of intelligence know that's scam, but he also had the time to tell me he wanted me
to switch my computer on and follow his instructions before I hang up...
He called 2 more times in the next minute. The other numbers were:
315-458-7682
607-739-9798
and I checked the calls we had before because it happened a couple times in the last week and we did not answerd
because the numbers tells us nothing... Here they are:
631-581-9211
630-859-9404
So what can we do???
DANDY MINI MART Called multiple times. They threatened/demanded Money. I think these are Indians scamming Indians/immigrants. Should be arrested and put behind bars for harassment. I complained to the local police.
received a call from that number, telling me that irs has filed a lawsuit against me and that was the last notice. They provided this to call back: 202-239-1941. I called that number from a land line and was first asked to verify my phone number. When I asked them to hold for a sec, they hang up.

Do consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
