222-555-7777 / 2225557777

I keep getting calls from the number 222 555 7777. they call around eight times a day now. they call my home phone number never my cell. i would recomend not answering the phone because they could easily record your voice and use it. They are probably trying to hack your computer or get personal information on you.

Its was in the middle east or something because they guy I could hardly understand, He asked for a Tammy Green, Sorry my name is not that and I said wrong number and hung up on me, seems like a big old scam to me. These Scammers really need to learn new tricks! And I have verizon

Have been getting calls from this number at least 4 times a day for the last 3 days... It has got to stop.. who is doing this?

I had heard about these scammers from a chat board frequented by older people who are not familiar with the ways of computers and the internet, and so are at risk of being trapped by scams like this.>>> My understanding is that what these ones do, if you accept their "help", is get you to download a trojan to your computer so they are able to track your computer use and collect things like your identifying personal information, credit card data, passwords, etc.So I finally got the call today myself, and figured I would string him along as I don't have much work to do. I really did have to go to a different room to do what the caller was telling me to do on my computer (go to the event viewer, blah blah), but that was okay with him, so I took my time, and he obviously figured he had a fish, so he stayed on the line. Also had my partner, who does all my computer jiggering for me, listen in on the extension. Gave all the right answers: oh yes, my computer takes a terribly long time to start up, and I had to do that just yesterday when Firefox froze on me just as you say. Etc. So I went where he told me to go in the computer, and oh dear yes, all those red and yellow Errors and Warnings, oh my! But the oldest one was only from late October, which puzzled him since I had said the computer was four years old, so I explained that this was when I'd installed Windows7. (Actually it was when a hard drive partition bombed and the whole thing had to be wiped and everything reinstalled.)He said Windows 7 was wonderful, and my computer should last me another 20 years if I just made sure it didn't get "infected", and of course it was his job to help me there. Now, these infections are not the viruses that my undoubtedly excellent antivirus software guards against, no, these are some other kind of infections, you see.Anyway, after my third trip to the computer he was fixing to pass me to his technical expert who would diagnose exactly what was wrong with my computer. This was looking like it was going to take me another three trips back and forth to the computer, and I was tired of the game. So I said Enough, good grief, how stupid do you think I am? And laughed a little, and informed him he was committing a crime, and he didn't seem to get it: so I didn't want to talk to the technical expert? I guess I had done an excellent job of acting the silly old dear who can't tell her right click from her left click. I finally had to say goodbye. *69 gave me the 222-555-7777, uh huh.A minute later he called back and made a lot of heavy breathing noises and spewed a few expletives. I laughed. My partner got on the line again and mocked him a bit. (Just as well, since I had said it was only me who used the computer, which it is, but no need to give a stranger the impression I was a woman living alone.) I said now he really was committing a crime so he should think hard. We hung up, no more calls yet.I have considerable sympathy for people doing genuine telemarketing or fundraising; jobs are scarce to nil these days, and nobody really wants to do those ones but if WalMart and McDonalds aren't hiring, you still have to eat. I try not to be rude to those people. Fraud is another matter. My partner, a sales pro, worked in a boiler room credit-card fraud set-up in Montreal very briefly in his youth, until he caught on to what was going on, and can tell the tales. The people running scams know what they're doing, and deserve what they get. Even if all we can give them, since they're not reachable by our laws, is a good run-around.Spin them along if you get the chance and have the time >>> but make a point of letting your more vulnerable family and friends and neighbours know that these people wanting to play with their computers over the phone are not calling from Microsoft or any other legitimate outfit, and warn them not to talk to them, period.

I got a call from this same company, but I run Linux, not windows. I put them on speakerphone and pretended to be fooled, follow their directions on linux (Meaning that nothing happened). He asked me to hit a series of key strokes, and asked what I saw. I happened to be reading a fan comic I was linked to of "My Little Ponies," so I told him "I see ponies. They're everywhere! What did you do to make ponies show up?"20 minutes on the phone, and hours of a good laugh! Not a call since I did that.

Got 2 calls from this number today. First time heard a clicking noise but no one spoke. Second time a man wanted to know if I was aware that something about Microsoft was about to expire - spoke English but with what sounded like a foreign accent of some kind. I just hung up on him, not interested in hearing anything more. I was suspicious about the caller ID number listed anyway so came to my computer to look it up and found lots of information about people getting similar calls from the same number. I do hope Microsoft is trying to do something about this scam.

did you happen to notice all the names listed are TV personalities?

This one posted at whocallsme.com, which I copy below, made me wish I had been more original. Plan ahead and you can have more fun with them!----------------------To funny. I keep getting calls from this number asking if I own my PC. When I say no they just hang up. So this time I had some fun.They called again and asked if I was at my PC. Told me about a virus that was on my PC. I played dumb and said "oh really what should I do" He had me click this, type this checking the logs. I didn't do any of it, but told him I did. He finally ask me to click start and hit RUN, type www.logmein123.com. I didn't, but told him i did.He asked what did the screen say. I told him that my screen was locked and a message said that it was block by the US GOV / National Security Agency. He asked where I work and I told him the US Government. For about 5 minutes he kept trying to get me out of this locked page.Then I told him that agents were on their way to investigate my PC. He started yelling for me to back out of the page. Told him I couldn't that four guys are try to access my office and what I should do - It was so funny. He finally hung up.----------------------Another good one posted there:----------------------Saw this number come up on my call display. Answered the phone by saying "Nuclear Disaster Agency" "Are you declaring a nuclear emergency?" Had some guy stammer and studer then hang up.Never give them your real name.:)

Someone from this number calls day and night every day. How can I stop it?

The calls started a few days ago, silence until you say "Hello", more silence than a male comes on and says "Hello" and hangs up. I tried to call back using a 1 before the number and without the 1, neither one works, I called AT&T but the supervisor says there's no such are code as 222, and there's nothing they can really do about it.
