I have received several calls from a "Private Caller", no # listed, and it is a man with a foreign accent who tells me there is a problem with my computer, the Windows system. The first time, I asked him how he knew anything about my computer, and he mumbled something, and I hung up. A week later a man called again and started asking about my computer, so I told him he knew nothing about my computer, stop calling me, and I hung up. Immediately, this phone number rang my phone, but there was no one there. I assume it was related to whatever scam this creep was trying to pull and picked up the phone, heard a beep and disconnected the call. I believe this number was connected to the calls I've been receiving. I'm also on a list being called to tell me I've won millions of dollars, and as this foreign person rambles on, his story changes as to how much, how to get the money, etc. He can't even read the script. When I told him I knew he was lying and trying to scam me, he cursed at me and slammed down the phone. Do these people think we are all stupid and will fall for their outlandish tales?
Call from 650-262-1221. Caller ID showed Test. I did not answer as I never answer calls if they are not from someone I know. I get 2-3 calls a day from similar callers and I am really tired of it.
I've received at least 100 calls from these people over the past two years. They use this California number and one in upstate Michigan. I've tried everything but nothing seems to keep them from calling back. The two most recent have had the same guy with an accent from India. I purchased a loud whistle and I've blown it in his ear twice. Several weeks ago, on Saturday, I received a call from a man with a Jamaician number. He stated that I had won a prize of $375,000 and a UPS driver was standing by to deliver it. All I had to do was to go to Walgreens and buy a Money Pac for $299.00. I led him along and told him I would buy the Money Pac. When he called back and asked if I had the Money Pac, he them asked me what the total cost was. I tried to tell him that it was $299.00 but then he asked for the total cost including the purchase fee, which I could not tell him. When he realized that I didn't have the Money Pac, I blew my whistle in his ear and he hasn't called back. He is a pretty dumb guy to think that anyone would believe that a UPS guy would be standing by on Saturday to make a delivery at his command.
