Thanks for Caller ID........!
If you get a call and the number doesn't come up on caller ID, you don't personally recognize the name; caller information is unavailable, anonymous, name not found, or any other questionable display, DON'T ANSWER.
Be careful!!! When you answer the phone, DON'T CONFIRM OR GIVE OUT ANY INFORAMTION. If they ask for you by name, STOP & THINK. Don't Acknowledge or Confirm who you are OR ANY INFORMATION they may tell you. The slightest information you provide can be all that is needed to steal your ID. You don't have to answer any questions on the phone.
For number 888-999-6104 my caller ID said Toll Free Call. They told me that they were calling and represented HP. This is just another scam intrusion into your privacy to gain information. People all over the world are trying to scam the USA and citizens.
A man with a very foreign accent came on began telling me my computer was expired and they needed to take control to fix it. Then I went into the scenario below:
What is your name, spell your name, what is your phone number, what company do you work for, where are you calling from, what is your supervisors name, ask to speak to their supervisor. If a supervisor comes on the line then repeat the process. If they threaten you with arrest, tell you your computer has been hacked, or any other scare tactic, call them a liar and a cheat. Tell them that you are taping the telephone call. You know where they are calling from and you are working with the FBI. They usually have hung up long before this. If not make it your game or just hang up.
They call saying they receive information through microsoft that I have virus on my computer and with my permission they would access my computer and provide a service to determine what type, Its a scam to gain access, they then point out a bunch of so call virus and then attempt to sell you a contract for computer service and periodic services usually for around $299.00. they use several different number and it is always a person with a heavy accent
This number has been calling all week and it's driving me nuts! When I call it back I just get a busy signal. Grrrrr frustrating!
