Instead of a 1-914-etc. it has a 11-914-etc. I'm getting many calls coming in that way. Hard to catch. Caller came in with "not available" then number. I diidn't answer. No msg. A spoofed number, I imagine. Maybe a prank caller or one of those nifty little services crazy people use to exact "revenge" on people......or maybe A crazy person just signed you up for stuff. Or maybe someone hacked a database, or you signed up for a rewards card and they sold numbers (they all assure they won't) but it's so worth it right? Save 5.00.......get harassed. Magazine anyone? Who has time to read it when your phone is ringing off the hook? Doctors offices sign up for secondary contractors to "remind" you of an appointment via text and then you start getting medical alert scam texts.....
5 calls in 2 days, caller ID says Microsoft. I called back to cimplain and they claimed my computer was having issues. I asked if they thought I was actually going to give them information about my computer. Then they hung up on me.
So thus lady say hello and that I have a issue with my Windows computer. I keep her on the Phone for 20 mins not giving her the correct info. Then finally I told her that I have a Mac ( Apple ) She ask me why I wasted her time. Told her that she called me and that she was a Scam. The government should put her in JAIL. She called me $%^ and hung up.. So sorry you didn't scam me :)
The problem is that these calls are coming from overseas. That makes it next to impossible to take any kind of action against them unless the country of origin is willing to cooperate and I doubt that will happen any time soon.
