Just got a call from this number. I actually work in IT so I knew right away it was bs, so I toyed with the guy for a while, then called him out.
him: "so yes, we are seeing malware and viruses on your computer"
me: "oh really? What's the IP of the computer?"
him: "it is a temporary IP of 192.168.1.125"
me: "yeah, no.. that's a local IP address lmao. Obvious scam."
him: "it's not a scam or I would be asking for credit card information, we just need you to visit a website so we can remove the malware"
me: "you mean hijack my PC and then demand a ransom to unlock it. Get a real job."
Calls about 7 times a day. I do not pick up since it is unknown caller. When I returned the call, the message said this number is not in service. How can I block this number!!!!?????
They have called everyday multiple times a day. Between yesterday and today they have called 13 times!! I picked up today to find out who it was and to ask them to take me off their call list. It takes a few seconds before someone answers and when I told him to stop calling this number he said "II kill you!" Broken English, with an accent. I had it on speakerphone so my daughter heard him say that too and then he hung up!!
This number starts calling early 6:30am and calls all day long. I did report them just now to The Do Not Call Registry. As I'm writing this they literally just called again. These people have very thick accents and no respect. I have asked them to stop calling then they say very wyd/ mean things very hard to understand them. I just want them to stop harassing me!
I ran to answer but did not get there from outside my house. Same experience as others, they did not leave a v.m. I tried several times to call back but was unable to get through. I personally don't trust the number.
