Just received call from 778-547-2528, the gentleman spoke in a foreign accent and stated my computer had been sending warning messages. He wanted me to open my computer and enter a number. I told him I knew this was a scam, and he got very aggressive and was quite persistent to get me to open my computer and enter the number.
Caller ID came up "Name not Found". Called twice from Canada, no messages. Another site responder stated that the scammer told him that his computer was blocked. Blocked caller #649 (two Panasonics + 20 ATT IDs), idiot call #1374 (not including obvious mis-dials) since 5/2/13. Caller ID "1" (100-000-0000) has called 70 times, including 12 in one day, 6 on another. I also had to block my own scammed number as four times the caller ID indicated that I received a call from IT!
I have received IRS scam call voice messages from four different telephone numbers threatening arrest.
All phone numbers are kept on a spreadsheet with dates and number of calls. Since both blocking systems are full, I have been recycling the older numbers that only called once or twice.
