844-804-3509

this is calling my cell as a blocked number and the message is about a fraud case involving my name.

This number is calling my cell blocked threatening me to call them before papers ate served and they can no longer help me. There is no company name affiliated with the number on the internet.

Same as other two reports, definetly a scam.

I got a call too, a girl named Megan she said she was calling from my county in regards to two serious charges and they threaten to come to my work or home and said i better be cooperative and have my ID ready, unless I call them back.  They claim to be the Department of Legal Service and mention something about a free litigation.  ( i have never been arrested or charged with anything ) .  they called me from 844-804-3509 an when you call back recording says " INS and Associates "

Any idea whom they really are?

There is no "Department of Legal Service" in the US Government.  There is however a Department of Legal Services attached to the Secretary General of the Organization of American States which handles legal matters and gives opinions on things like treaties and such.  It has nothing to do with any kind of debt or criminal charges.  INS is a division of the US government regarding Immigration issues.  There are no " Associates" involved it is simply a Government entity.

As to your last question the answer is simple:  They are criminals that are going to try to terrify you into thinking that you are going to be charged with a criminal matter and then put in prison and of course they will tell you that you can avoid all this by paying them some money.  In other words they are extortionists so do not give them one single penny.  You will not be charged with a crime, you will not go to jail if you do not pay them, but if you do give them money it will be the same as flushing that money down the toilet.

There was a lady who said her name was Stephanie Taylor and she said I had 2 cases against me one beind intent to fraud a loan application and 2 being check fraud is there something I can do about this or just have to deal with these people calling me saying they are with the legal aid services and that I need to settle this or end up in jail

Today, Tuesday, June 10th, 2014, at about 12:35 p.m. I received a call from an 'Unknown" number, so I just let it go to voice mail since I was feeding my dogs. I then listened to my voice message that was from “I.N.S. and Associates”. The lady who left the message identified herself as Tiffany Bach. She left a message with the following information:

Looking for: A female (gave name, which I’m leaving out) born in 88' / 26 years old

Return Telephone Number: 844-804-3509

Case Number: 201-727

Complaint Type: Two (UNSPECIFIED) ongoing fraud complaints against the name and social security number mentioned.

I called the number back and the female, who sounded exactly like “Tiffany Bach” answered the phone as “Stephanie (no last name given)”. I immediately told her she sounded like “Tiffany” who just left me a message. She said people say that all the time.

I asked what type of business they were. She said, she could not answer unless I gave her the case number, so I did. She then asked if I was the person who they left the message for. I said I was not going to answer that unless she told me what sort of company they were and what “I.N.S.” full company name was.

She immediately flipped to rude and said that a legal process server was already en-route to my home to serve me papers regarding the fraud I was involved in, and if they did not find me there, they would go to my work.

She then wanted my full name, date of birth, driver’s license number, social security number and home address (wait doesn’t she already have that?) in order to avoid the embarrassment of the process server showing up at my door (or work). By providing that information I could settle the matter. She did not go into details on how it could be settled ounce they had that information.

What I didn’t tell her is that they had the wrong person, close name though, and that I would certainly enjoy personally meeting the “legal process server” at the Police Station, where I work.

I did not lash-back out at her, but instead I calmly and politely asked if she could just remove my telephone number from their files or database. WOW! The response was immediate and threatening as she stated that my number would not be removed because I did not provide any information and they would be calling me back; then she hung-up on me.

And here, I thought scammers were supposed to keep you on the phone to get all the information they can.

Within a minute I received a call from another lady who identified herself as “Mary Wells”. Miss Mary also sounded like “Tiffany” and “Stephanie”, which I also mentioned. She replied by saying most of the ladies there sound alike. I guess they must, I replied.

“What can I help you with” I asked “Mary Wells”. She wanted the case number, so I gave it to her (I’m actually having a little fun by now and gathering as much information as I can) and said that I would like to resolve whatever problem was out there.

Again I was asked for personal information. I politely replied that until she verbally provided to me, the full company name, the complete physical address, direct telephone number, fax number and website address, that I would not give her any information. And, that I was not involved with any fraud case, in any state or country for that matter.

She went from a polite scammer to a rude and aggressive scammer blurting out: “YOU (meaning me) MUST BE INVOLVED WITH THE FRAUD CASE IF YOU WON’T GIVE ME YOUR INFORMATION”, after which she hung-up the phone.

I figured I would leave a few details on this site to help others spot this scam before they give any personal information, which I’m sure will be used for Identity Theft. This has also been sent to the proper authorities / Investigative Division and the Better Business Bureau.

If you happened to give these people your personal information, it would be a good idea to immediately check your credit and LOCK your credit from being used (free service from the credit bureaus) by anyone other than yourself. Then file a report with your local Police Department.

This number was on a pop up  on my computer,  saying my computer  had a virus  and i should call this # 844-804- 3509----or all my inportant information  on computer would be compromised-----and it was a female voice
i had to unplug my computer to stop it,  i could not delete it or shut her up.

I received this as a pop-up also, but cannot shut it down, even if I restart my computer...

Ditto.  I was redirected to a site from Answers.com and was instantly infected.  I had to turn the PC off to stop it; nothing else worked.  When the PC (Win7 OS) booted, I did not bring up the browser, instead I ran Malwarebytes first.  It came up with zero infections and the problem hasn't returned.

Good luck

I was surfing the net when this popup froze the computer & said they were Microsoft & to call 1-844-804-3509 immediately, as I was being attacked by a virus, etc., & not do anything further with the computer until I spoke with personnel at the 1-844-804-3509 number.  (I do have preventive virus software on the computer.)  In order to cancel out of my Internet Explorer browser I had to hit the master switch to shut  the computer down as nothing else I tried worked.  I was sure this was a scam as Microsoft does not post such a page.  I believe they maybe the same scammers that use to call & try to get you to turn on your computer as something was wrong with your computer & they would help you fix same.  "What a Joke"!!!
NEVER  give out any personal information.

OMG!!! I typed in this phone number 1-844-804-3509 because I had clicked on a recipe and all of a sudden a blue screen popped up saying that my computer has a virus and was in a dire state!!!! and that I needed to call Microsoft at the number 1-844-804-3509 to fix the issue and also report it. This just happened 15 min ago btw. I was obviously freaked out but not stupid. So I called because half of me wanted to believe that this was Microsoft but the other half knew better. When I called it was a man from what sounded like India or somewhere around there, he told me that "Yes my computer had been infected but there is no need to worry because HE CAN FIX IT! All I have to do is give him remote control over my Laptop! LMAO Seriously?! I actually fell for this scam(which I'm not proud to say) about 4 years ago, in consequence, my motherboard was actually fried because of it.  After seeing all the other posts about this phone number I'd say these Scumbags have there hands in all kinds of scams! PLEASE BE CAREFUL DON'T LET THIS JERKS TAKE YOUR BANK INFO AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT THEY CAN GET THERE HANDS ON FROM YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These jerks have been infiltrating ad networks with false ads and complex scripts so that the ad networks don't realize what is happening until after the scammers have successfully attacked people's computers. You can take a photograph of the scam popup and post it on picture-sharing websites and let your friends know about it.

A popup on my computer filled the whole screen, claimed to be from Microsoft warning of a dangerous virus and informing me I MUST call 1-844-804-3509 immediately. I had trouble shutting down the popup. I had to click Control/Alt/Delete to get to my Start Task Manager and had to repeatedly click on everything to close all processes, after which I ran CCleaner.  I will soon run SpyBot and MS Security Essentials but wanted to check out the number first on this site. While preparing this message, I again went to my Start Task Manager and discovered there was a FILE program dated today called TEMP that was "running" on my computer.  I shut it down and now have to figure out what that's all about. I've never had a FILE pic show as running, not ever.  Something fishing about all of this and it's certainly not good. .

I called that number after downloading "Blender".  Same pop up screen.  Sounded like a guy from India told me to hit "ctrl shift esc" to go to task manager and then end task to get her to be quiet.  Then (possibly too late!) I did the reverse number lookup and saw that this was a scam.  He wanted to join my computer and he may have because I read the numbers off of teamviewer.  Once I ended the call I deleted the program I had just downloaded Blender.  I do have virus protection

Sounds like this call penetrates through all. if you have a "virus", consult your local PC place for a diagnoses

You are correct, they do the  "pop ups" in order to scam you out of your money...They are computer programmers just waiting to prey on the computer slackers.

Lesson learned...They do this out of spite to scam you when they put the virus on and can't take it off.

That "file" is really a controller set up by the scammers....Once inside, they control everything in that PC including personal data.

My advice for you is to take it to a PC service center and have them remove it and destroy it.

Now that's a keen idea to do that. Even if you can use a web cam record that pop up and send it out to embarrass the scammers.
