i just got that call asking to talk to my husband, i said why do you want to talk to him? the man said it was about his computer, my husband does not have a computer.
They called my home and then my cell. Someone with a very heavy Indian accent asked me if I was in charge of my home computer. I hung up immediately
Second time they call today I answered. They said they were from Microsoft and wanted to "help me with my computor". Scamers just wanting you give them access to your computor.
Received four calls on our home phone during the day yesterday. We were not home so voice mail picked up. Just a lot of noise in the background but no message was left. Then they called again at 12:07 AM! My husband answered and, again, just a lot of noise in the background. We have been on the National Do Not Call List for years but it does not do any good with these calls.
THESE ARE SCAMMERS!!!DO NOT ANSWER YOUR PHONE... SOMETHING ABOUT INFO THEY CAN GET IF YOU DO - I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY BUT I HEARD THIS ON NETWORK NEWS SOME TIME AGO!!!
Called three times in the space of an hour today and twice yesterday. Just filed a report with the FCC. I'd love to pick up and scream at them, but I figure that will just encourage them. Does anyone else get a 1 in front of the area code on Caller ID? Mine always shows up 1-123-456-7891.
never answer the call when it comes in. don't understand why i get the call since my number is supposed to be on the Do Not Call list. guess some people think the rules don't apply to them.
PLEASE READ THIS AND NOTE THE #'S AT THE VERY END OF THE ARTICLE. eVEN THE PEOPLE WHO SAID THEY WERE FROM "Key Finance" or looking to have their sewer cleaned probably were NOT who they claimed to be. Please be careful with your personal info.This article is from the St. Augustine Record, the local St. Augustine news paper here in Florida.---------------Scams through e-mails, phone calls cause concernGrandma sent money to wrong numberPosted: July 22, 2010 - 12:08amBy JUSTINE GRIFFINA St. Augustine grandmother didn't think twice about wiring money to someone she thought was her grandson, claiming to be in trouble."I got this call from a young man who called me Nana, just like my grandson Zack does," she said. "He told me he was in Madrid and got into a car accident."The grandmother, who will not be named, thought it was strange that this was the first time she was hearing about her 24-year-old grandson from Massachusetts taking a trip to Spain."He told me that he wasn't allowed to leave the country until he had $2,000 to pay for damages in the accident," she said. "I only have $2,000 in my savings, so I told him I could only send $1,000."After haggling for more money, the man on the other line of the phone gave her instructions to send $1,200 to Spain through Western Union."I know I wasn't thinking," she said. "But I just wanted to make sure he was OK. That's all that mattered to me."The grandmother realized something wasn't adding up the next day when a so-called police officer called about her grandson being taken to jail and needing more money to bail him out."All of this just didn't sound right," she said. "I sat up all night waiting for Zack to call me. The officer said he would call me back."The grandmother then decided to call her grandson's home in Massachusetts, where she found out he wasn't in Spain at all.This woman is just one of many across St. Johns County who were victims of a scam, said Sgt. Chuck Mulligan, spokesman with the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office."We see this every day," he said, "victims of scams through phone calls, mail and e-mails."Many scammers try to trick people into believing they are family members, pastors or other good Samaritans who need help.Mulligan said that even though the scams happen frequently, it's difficult to find out who to charge for the crimes."A lot of these scams are based in different states and even different countries," he said. "So even if we knew where they were originating from, it would be very difficult to convict someone."The grandmother was surprised that the people who called her knew so much personal information about her family."These strangers knew my grandson's name and that he called me Nana," she said.Her grandson believes that their information was easily obtained through social media sites like Facebook, she said."I'm embarrassed that I was stupid enough for falling for that, and now I'm paying the price," she said. "But at least my grandson is just fine."The phone numbers that came up on the grandmother's caller ID were (123) 456-7891 and (416) 238-0000.
Yes, same here. Wanted us to turn on our computer said we have Malicious Malware. My husband went back and forth with the foreign speaking man, he wanted our name. My husband said, "Rosco P Coletrain." the man said, "hold your horses," Lol. When my husband ask his name and address, he hung up.
