161-258-1659

got a call from this number 1-161-258-1659 who is this?

I got this call twice also.  Didn't answer so I have no clue who they are.  Does anyone know?

If 161 is not a valid area code, how are they making these calls? You'd think the phone companies would take action.

it's called spoofing... using a program that puts a fake number on your caller ID.

How do they get the phone#'s , I didn't answer as I'm getting tired of these BS calls ,

Aaron from Compute3r Essentials re my operating system on my computer.
I told him I do not own a computer. Referred to RCMP as this is a known scam

I got two calls this morning. First was private and he kew my last name and said something about computers. He had a heavy accent. I said I wasn't interested and hung up.
Half an hour later a call with the name 01612581659 and phone number underneath that said
780-702-7489.
I answered and had another heavy accented man on the phone asking me if I had problems with opening windows on the computer. I said no. He insisted to tell me that many people have complained about this and that he is offering his technical help to detect my computer if it has that problem. YEAH RIGHT!!!!
I told him I was with a reputable provider and had excellent protection on the computer. I'd heard enough and hung up.
So if this a known scam, why isn't anything done about it?

I got a call from this no. yesterday on my voice mail, the guy even asked to speak to someone in the house... isn't this weird????

I also had this number come up on my phone recently, and when my mom answered, a man with a heavy accent asked for me by name.  He said he was calling about my computer and would try me on my cell.  I never received any calls on my cell, nor was there any messages.  Nobody ever phoned back, but I will definately not be giving any personal information.

3 calls in 2 days from this number.  Long delay as if this is a computer generated call so I simply hung up.  It's a nuisance that disturbs my privacy.  Some one provides this party with a phone line out.  There must be some way to stop this form of harassment

I got a call from this number also. said from tech expert calling about my windows operating system and wanted me to open up windows and she was going to walk me through some checks and I would need to tell her what alerts came up.  of course unable to call the number showing.

161-258-1659 was the phone number.  Just received a call from them this morning. By mistake I redialed for another number and did not pay attention to the number on display and a woman answered and she referred me to another number and that you must be 18 & over to call and it could cost money when you call in.
Did not pay attention to the name if she did mention one while I redialed.  I hung up.

Can't you block these callers on your set?
I wish something or someone can find a solution to trace these PITA's callers.  
Hope "Looking for Him" will be able to nail these SOB's.
