A recorded message said I needed to call back immediately. I called the number back to find out the company name, and the recording said: If you received a call, press 1 to talk to someone immediately! I did not press 1 and received a message saying no one was available. No company name given anywhere.
The message left was: "We've made several attempts to contact you and for whatever reason, we have not heard back from you. It is very important that we speak with you and we urge you to press one to speak with a representative immediately or call us back today at 405-896-7992. Again, this is a very important matter that you need to deal with today. Please call us back at 405-896-7992 or press one to speak with a representative immediately. Thank you."
The caller ID was Harrisburg, PA, but I received this exact recording a few days ago from the number in the message [405-896-7992] with a caller ID of Oklahoma City, OK. Also, earlier today, I received a call from the number in the message with a caller ID of Unknown and they did not leave a message. I also suspect that another call I received today from a Chicago number that left no message was from these same people.
I did deal with the call today. I ignored it, which is what I will do every time I get this message or any of the other scare tactic messages from any other spoofed numbers.
I got the same message about needing to deal with some important matter today from this number with a Harrisburg, PA caller ID. I got it within two hours of a call from 223-600-1229, leaving no message. The same thing happened two days ago. I believe these scammers are the same or connected. Others say that the (223) is Mali and that people with thick accents tell them that their computer has been hacked and they need access to their computer to fix the problem. As, I posted before, I also got the "needs to deal with today" message from a caller ID of Oklahoma City.
Beware of these calls...my mother got a call from these criminals and the message left on her machine scared her into calling them back. The person she talked to verbally harassed and scared her by saying she owed money on some bogus account. And was going to be prosecuted and sent to jail. My mother is a widow and since losing my father is exactly the target these criminals want. They stole over $3000 from her. So please look out for your family don't let these worthless [***] steal from them. I wish I knew where they were located I'd walk in where they are locked and loaded and kill every one of them then go to prison a happy woman having nice dreams of them dying
