I got a call from this number yesterday, 7/27, but had missed the call. No message. It is really helpful to be able to see comments from all of you to validate my concerns whenever an unknown call comes in on my cellphone. I never answer and have given all of the spam callers a "special" ringtone so that I don't bother running to answer. Thanks! By the way, I got a call from Jamaica the other day too. I couldn't find any comments anywhere about the number but be prepared!
-I received a call from this number. They identified themselves as being a "Microsoft awareness call", attempting to convince me there was a problem whenever I went onto the web. The foreign male voice started to ask questions about my home computer when I cut off the call.
-I contacted Microsoft and their comment was that Microsoft does not conduct any unsolicited phone calls.
-I would suggest to hang up without giving them any information at all.
I've received several calls from these folks. Funny thing is, they hang up on me when I let them know I am a senior architect with appropriate industry credentials in security.
Called about computer security. Told him I have secure antivirus and take me off their calling list, he kept yelling "ma'am" at me and trying his spiel til I hung up.
I got a phone call from 1-872-000-1008 with a bad connection with a male who could barely speak English. He was asking about my computer saying it was infected and he was going to give me steps to correct it. I knew it was a scammer so I played along with him without actually giving him any information. I kept saying yes to the steps he told me to do on the computer but wasn't actually doing anything. Finally after a while of messing with him I told him I wasn't falling for his scam and hung up on him. He called back and I picked up the phone and set it on the table. I later did a call back to the number and got an operator message saying the international number was not in service. How dumb are they?? Funny thing is some people actually fall for this crap!
