Claimed they were Tech Support and that we had a problem with our computer. This scam was identified on our local news in Toronto. They put you on a website, gain access to your machine, put on a virus and then charge you to get it off. Also other scam is that you give them remote access and they steal personal info from your machine. They also can put on keyloggers in order to access your on-line banking etc. They got frustrated and hung on when I kept asking them questions.
I have received a call from this number, but when i called "hello!" again and again, but no answer came from the other side, then i searched on internet, i got this site having details of this number. I was worried because i live in india and a call came from foreign makes me worry...............same like love garg
I am in USA. I just got a text from 1 972 XXX XXXX...not the # in question. It stated the person's name, a hyphen, and a message..."Hi honey..if you get this, call me." I called back and got a voice mail (the # is not known, the voice is) to a person in Canada. I don't know if I intercepted someone sending them a text or if they were texting me, however, we are currently not on terms that they would send me that message and they say they don't have a cell. Make sense? Hope so cuz it doesn't to me!
I got a call this afternoon from this number, it showed up as payphone in the id. A Middle Eastern man told me he was from windows and that there was a problem with our computer and our personal info was being spread across the internet. When he asked if we were aware of this I told him yes, we had recently had a virus on our computer, so one the off chance that this guy was who he said he was I thought he may be refering to this. He seemed surprised at this answer. He then asked what we had done I told him I wasn't sure what my parents had done. After hearing my response this guy must have peiced that I wasn't an adult, then that bum proceeded to ask me how old I was, if I had a boyfriend, and if I was on facebook. I told him that that was personal information and I wasn't going to tell him. Then I hung up on him. It left me pretty shaken up, and I went to a friends house because my parents weren't home at the time and I didn't know if the guy was going look up my address, and well...use your imagination for what a creepy guy may do to a girl. What kind of bum, scammer or not, does this?!
