Received call from this number saying my computer was in danger of being hacked due to some things I had downloaded. I was suspisious and asked for name and number. Thick Indian accent, name Eric Watson and number listed above. Told him I was busy and would call back.
Be on the look out for a scam of some type. Received a call on my cell phone saying I was hacked and to go to the computer and turn it on so they coulds fix it. Said I was not near my computer and would call them back. Said his name was Ryan and gave me 661-771-6568 as the phone number. Says he was from Windows-DON'T GIVE THEY ANY INFORMATION. IF THIS WAS WINDOWS THEY WOULD NOT CALL ON PHONE......THEY WOULD SEND YOU AN EMAIL. IT WOULD BE ON THE NEWS AS WELL. I wonder how they got my cell number as I never really use phone except to call out which is rare.
Same thing, got a call at 12:am got me out of bed. I said do you know what time it is? He says , yes mam but ths is very important ...etc. I asked for his number and name, James.
