This number has called twice today; indicating they were from the fraud division of the govt. They wanted me to call a return number to avoid further action of a law suit pending. I did not get the return number; as I have been called by several of these creeps. I will not give them the satisfaction. Later tried the above number and got an all circuits busy; and also a ring no answer. This is fraud; just using the common criminal phone number to try to get someone to bite. FRAUD!!
A male with a thick accent and improper English called from 646*502*6605, asking me to go to my computer and type in certain things that will allow him to help me fix a "slow computer" problem.
This obvious scammer no doubt would have me go to his website and put in my credit card number or bank account number so he could rob me blind.
I received the same call as Leah above. They called me several times the past 2 days but also gave me 1-888-408-4117 and 718-819-1080 to call them back when I was ready to have them remotely connect to my computer. He claimed his name was Neil Johnson (certainly not a name I have ever heard for an Indian man). He claimed he was calling because I was getting virus & attachments that could harm my computer when I go online. I advised him I had Norton 360 and that is detects these things. He told me that Norton could not detect becuase it is something that comes from the operating system. I called Microsoft (since I have Windows 7), Gateway (the maker of my laptop) and Norton. All 3 said they have no knowledge of this issue and took down the info this guy gave me. They said they will do an investigation,
Received several calls from the same number asking me if I had a computer I ignored him and pretended I did not hear him he is then hung up. Note he knew my last name. Beware!
Called 7-10-2012, a thick Indian accent. Wanted to fix my computer. I followed his steps as he took me to the "Event Viewer" screen in the Computer Management section of Computer. Then when I asked how he got my name he said since I use the Windows OS he got my name (implied from MS), asked who he represented, and why he wanted me to go into the Event Viewer, he said Thank you and hung up.
