they called my mobile. Told me I was eligible for a $9k grant from the federal government because of my good credit. I hung up.

getting calls one after the other. Up to 6 calls in a day. I don't pick up since most are marketers that call like this.
I am just over this number since its been almost a week of it. Non stop it seems.

Consider maybe getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so.If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

Won't stop calling, I don't answer. When I try to call back it says the number isn't in service. So annoying

This number just called me. Because my work calls are sent to my cell, I answered. Imagine, tech support from Microsoft cared enough to call me and let me know that, if I would turn on my computer, they could help save me from the malicious program I've downloaded. Bless their little hearts.

I asked him which computer was affected because we have several. He stumbled just a bit but then asked how many computers I have. I told him that if he could indeed see that I had downloaded a malicious program, he should be able to tell me the identity of the computer that did so. He said he couldn't see the computer, and before he could get another word out, I said, "Exactly, which is why I'm ending this call and adding this number to my block list. Bye."

got a call from a guy with an African or jamacian accent saying he was with the "Government grant" office and I had won $9,800.00. I wasn't aware you can "win" a government grant so I asked him where he was calling me from, and he replied from the "government grant" office. I said "no, what city and state?". He then replied "Washington D.C.. I asked again "and what state is that in?". It took him about three seconds to think about it and then he got mad i assume when he couldn't figure out what state he was from and simply said "f@#k you", and hung up. Typical Obama administration, I tell you. the only part of this that I'm really upset about is that he gave up so quickly and didn't let me work him into a full fit of rage like I normally would have after 10-15 minutes of screwing with the scammers mind.

 

Caller introduced himself as someone from Microsoft Security Protection and asked if I was aware that my computer was not being updated automatically.  I asked where he got my number and he repeated that he is with Microsoft Security Protection and asked if I was aware that my computer was not being updated automatically.  He asked if it was a good time to talk and I said it was not and that I was at work.  I asked if he could send me an email with his contact info and he hung up.  I tried calling the number and got an automated message saying the number wasn't in service.

got a call saying they were with the UPS service , told to call another umber to claim my prize, when calling the other number I get the same voice , is like a computer voice , says I have won prize from Publisher Clearing house , and need to get some sort of pal card to pay taxes,. 999.00 dollars so they can delivery prize to me. I hung up.  other number called was to a ALbert Johnson  1 876 259 0405  ext.  5 .
also kept putting me on hold.  

received a call from the above number...they hung up

They called and said they were first Niagara bank said debit card was locked , wanted card # and pin to unlock , reported to bank .

Called saying that my Wells Fargo debit card was locked. Push 1 to be transferred to the security department. I don't have a Wells Fargo account.

They called me and I found this chain. So I listed them in my contacts a 'Scam Caller' so I could know the next time they called. It was a man with a very thick accent indicating my computer had been hacked and he was able to get notifications on my IP address from these hackers. So, I had a little fun.
'So you're telling me you're speaking with these hackers?'
(Ma'am if you could just give me your Windows ID)
'ah, so you're telling me this is on my PC' (Yes, please give me that ID.)
'Well that's interesting as I don't have a PC.' (Oh, yes, this is on your Mac.)
'So you're telling me you don't know what kind of computer I have?'
(Ma'am, I'm just trying to help you.)
'Then can you please verify my IP address?'
(Well, ma'am you have several. So could you please tell me what they are?)
'Sir, how do sleep at night when you spend your days trying to scam people, esp around the holidays? Like, this is what you do with your life?'
(Ma'am, you're wasting my time. I have many customers. Please end this call now.)
'Actually YOU are wasting MY time and trying to scam me. I know this call is [***], I'm just trying to understand how you reconcile this disgusting behavior.'

Then he hung up. Don't waste your time. How annoying!

Didn't speak. Just kept calling.

The caller said he was calling from Windows Service Center, he told me they received an email stating that I've received over 1000 viruses. He asked if I was in front of a computer, and I said yes. He wanted to give me instructions to show me what I have, and to fix it.

So, I instructed him to open My Computer on his computer, highlight your local C:\ drive, and right click to bring up the menu. Then click on Format.

He didn't say anything, and hung up. LOL

Received an unwanted call from this number at 3:23pm on 01/14/2015

They call and hang up.It happens several times  a week.It is totally annoying.

I received a call from 617-714-0762 stating they were from The Department of Treasury! I know better.  The call states they are located in Cambridge, MA.  Beware folks!

This is just one of the hundred of scam phone numbers from crooks- I do not call them scammers who tell you won a millions of dollars - need to fix your computer-will be arrested because you have tax bills etc that have not been paid .. all they want is your personal information and money. The caller ID is phony along with the number. Protect yourself by not responding to these crooks. They have no legal powers in any state to do anything to you. . In fact most of these crooks are not located in the US.

Called me and said they had unfortunate news about my Bank of America Account, I don't have a B of A Account.
