wrong number but continue calling
US Auto Finance - Jacob Smith
individual called me stating he was from Windows and they were sending me $400.00 gift card for anthing I wanted to purchase with the card and a $200.00 gas card absolutely free. He told me my address and my name!! SCARRY!!!! He then stated the cards would come through UPS. At the very end of call the gentlemen stated there is a problem with UPS can I get a card number for a $1.95 delivery fee. I then stated "do you think I am dumb enough to give you my card over the phone"? He then hung up...LOL
Just got my second call in a week from these guys.
Sounds like they have numerous scams going.
Both times they said that they were techs from Windows Service Centre calling because they have been forwarded reports of numerous malicious files and viruses on my computer and they wanted to fix it.
Last week I told them they were not gaining remote access to my computer. They try to get you to download their program which gives them remote access. I told them nope and asked for a call back number. Checked it out on the internet and the number is from scammers saying they are from microsoft.
When they called again today and told them that I cheecked them out and they are scammers they said that they know of that scam and that's why they are phoning me, so that they can clean my computer up. LOL, the number they called from is the scammer number that they called me from last week and is all over the internet as a scam.
The women I talked to first said her name was Nancy Jones and when she got frustrated because I wouldn't do what she was asking she transferred me to her "supervisor the manager" by the name of Justin Brown. When I told them I would check them out on the internet and call them back he told me that they were the real thing and my computer would crash within hours if I didn't let them clean it up.
These people had very thick east indian accents and had a tough time communicating in English, yet everyone I talked too between the two phone calls have surnames of Brown, Jones ( 2 of them were Joneses). I find it more than a little strange that all of the call centre staff who are obviously east indian all have very common generic european first and last names.
( not trying to sound prejudiced or racist but does that not strike anyone else as unlikely)
This is horrible. I have beenr ecieveing calls frrom some bastard with this number 1-510-943-3040 and when i pick up it gets cancelled right away or if not noone talks. First i thought it's from overseas, back home because soemtimes it uses different servers to connect you but no. This is a scam/ fraud of some kind. callign alot. almost 6 to 8 calls a day. I don't know what is it and what they are looking for. Nobody seems to be doign anythign about this to stop this bastard. Can't they track this number and do something about it.
