Yes ! Nova Scotia ... they called today ..... many other numbers of the same. Usually saying they work for Microsoft and found a virus on my computer. Imagine ... Microsoft calling little 'ole me lol
What they are doing is illegal and you are supposed to report it to LE
I've received calls from these people more than once. Anything I see on my call display with a completely foreign area code is an unwanted scam. I know that, so I don't pick up the phone and allow myself to be annoyed. I'm on the Canadian 'Do Not Call' list like many others here but that has no application to calls from the USA. They don't have access to that list and most don't likely know of its existence.
Even then, there are exceptions to the restrictions of that list even in Canada. Go to the website and you'll see them. Example: Magazine and newspaper subcription solicitations are allowed. That's just one exception.
I have received a call from this number this a.m. at 11:03 ..... what bugs me is that I got a cell phone and thought that perhaps I would drop the home phone and just use it but I now get these types of calls on my cell!!! I am so sick of hearing the blow horn with the 'captain' speaking!!!! I sure wish the "Do not call" list worked....it doesn't.
