209-220-1908

Just received a phone call from someone with an Indian accent that had my name and wanted to know if I was the main computer user.  He specifically asked about Windows.  Anyway hung up on the guy!

we had a call to day saying that they was a law frem and they said we was getting sued and we hung up and called them back and it said if you are not interested press 1 to be on there no call list so  so so yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhh its a scam im [***] tired of them people from india scaming us americans thank you everyone

"Hello, I am calling from the Windows XP computer"...I told him I have Windows 7...

I received the call from the "computer techies" to make repairs on my windows pc system.  I kept them on the line stating I was a techie, asking about their calling list, their location, getting the senior caller on the phone and lots of questions to him and he finally hung up on me.  I figure I blocked out about 10 minutes of their calling time.  It was fun hearing their frustration and their insistence that I was in Alberta, when in fact I'm over 2000 miles from there.

No msg left on ans machine.  Dont't recognize number.  Never been to Fresno, CA (Area code 209).  We are on the federal Do Not Call list.

guy called said they were taking me to court for a payday loan.. He was yelling at me... I never took out a payday loan

Some on the line could not speak English clearly saying we had a virus on our windows that was installed on our computer...yeah right...wanted us to buy virus protection from XFMT 209-2201908 who ever they are...out of the bue this is the second call I've received....bogus...I'm going to call the Better Business Bureau
I'm on the do not call register
Oh like I'm going to give my info out to cut throats who want to rip me off....no freaking way.
If I could find these people I'd take a bat and show that I mean business

Just got a call saying that I have a virus on my computer, and they are from windows, and they needed to get into my pc to fix it, I could hardly understand  what she was saying cause of her heavy accent so she put a man to talk which was worst, so I gave the phone to my husband and I decided to call Best Buy " The Geeks" to find out if windows would call me for something like that, and they  said "NO" they would never call you, you would need to put in the call first, hang up its a SCAM>>>> the number was...1-209-220-1908..

Caller says they are receiving reports of virus on my windows computer. I tell them I don't have a computer and to respect do not call listing.

I received a call from 209-220-1908 but was not home. No message left. Since I am in Canada and  know no one in  the US, I blocked the number after checking it out online and reading the comments.

Got a call from someone from this number saying that i needed to return there call or my lawyer had to return call.this person didn't state what the call was about but wished me good luck.I am sick of these call and someone needs to stop these guys.I don't know the number but when i did a search on it it came up as a mobile phone in Fresno, California.

Thank you for posting this!  I wasn't completely sure if it was a scam or not. They said the same thing to me.

I said hello after looking at caller ID.  Silence then brief burst of strange musical tones.  Unidentified male caller wanted to talk to John Patrick.  I told him his caller ID looked strange.  Silence, then disconnect.

Keep getting phone calls from this number and no one speaks, then a recorded voice says goodby. This is very spooky to me.

Received a call today and was told there was a law suit that was going to be downloaded on Tuesday.  I told them to file any court cases through the court system, that was what I was told by the police department.   The guy started laughing and continued to laugh until I hung up on him.  So far no one has called back.  Jerks second time in the past 2 days that I have received these scam phone calls.

Extortion Scam Related to Delinquent Payday Loans

Washington, D.C.
December 07, 2010  FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

— filed under: Press Release

The Internet Crime Complaint Center has received many complaints from victims of payday loan telephone collection scams. Callers claim the victim is delinquent in a payday loan and must repay the loan to avoid legal consequences. The callers purport to be representatives of the FBI, Federal Legislative Department, various law firms, or other legitimate-sounding agencies. They claim to be collecting debts for companies such as United Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Advance, U.S. Cash Net, and other Internet check-cashing services.

According to complaints received from the public, the callers have accurate data about victims, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, employer information, bank account numbers, and the names and telephone numbers of relatives and friends. How the fraudsters obtained the personal information varies, but in some cases victims have reported they completed online applications for other loans or credit cards before the calls started.

The fraudsters relentlessly call the victim’s home, cell phone, and place of employment. They refuse to provide any details about the alleged payday loans and become abusive when questioned. The callers have threatened victims with legal actions, arrests, and, in some cases, physical violence if they do not pay. In many cases, the callers harass victims’ relatives, friends, and employers.

Some fraudsters have instructed victims to fax a statement agreeing to pay a certain amount, on a specific date, via a pre-paid Visa card. The statement further declares the victim will never dispute the debt.

If you receive these calls, do not follow the caller’s instructions. Rather, you should:

Notify your banking institutions.
Contact the three major credit bureaus and request an alert be put on your file.
Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you feel you are in immediate danger.
File a complaint at www.IC3.gov.
Tips to avoid becoming a victim of this scam:

Never give your Social Security number—or personal information of any kind—over the telephone or online unless you initiate the contact.
Be suspicious of any e-mail with urgent requests for personal financial information. The e-mail may include upsetting or exciting but false statements to get you to react immediately.
Avoid filling out forms in e-mail messages that request personal information.
Ensure that your browser is up-to-date and security patches have been applied.
Check your bank, credit, and debit card statements regularly to make sure that there are no unauthorized transactions. If anything looks suspicious, contact your bank and all card issuers.
When you contact companies, use numbers provided on the back of cards or statements

Received a call from this number, on my cell phone, asking for my husband who has been dead for over 2 years. When I told him that he kept on talking about a virus on my computer that I had filed a report on. Told him I never filed a report with anyone. Had a very strong accent that I thought was Phillipino but could be wrong. Spoke very fast and was difficult to understand. He kept telling me to turn on my computer and I kept telling him I had heavy furniture in front of pc so I couldn't do it until someone came back to help move it. He still repeated turn on the computer every time I asked a question. I asked about 6 times what company he was calling from and got "Global Computer ? ? ? " So looked the number up and see others have had the same thing. Thanks for the heads up.

Just got a call from this number and the guy said he was from the "Windows Service Center" and stated this was a "service call" when both I and my wife asked him to take us off his call list.  It was obvious this was a scam and I grilled him with questions like "so what's my account number if you are making a service call and I'm a customer?" and he hung up.

Stop calling

I recieved a phone call today from the same jack wagons. They were from Micro Tech Saying they were going to fix my PC because I had a virous and  it was going to crash.  I said what computer  (we have 4) he rambled off some number and asked me to log on to there web site. So I pretended to log on to there site as I checked out there company online. Then he acted like he could see my computer on there site. Total BS.  He didnt know my name and the number wasn't a DNS number or a Microsoft number.
