864-555-0169

Deceptive caller, claims to be from Windows Technical Center and they have been receiving an error report from my computer for the past two weeks.  - I hung up right after that statement

Got call from 864.555.0169 on my cell. I did not answer.
I never give out my cell number and xxx.555.01xx is reserved only for information exchange - xxx.555.1212.
Anytime I receive a xxx.555.01xx call I block it immediately and report it if I can.
Fake number!
Bad people use fake numbers.

I didn't answer, but my cell is now constantly getting these unknown calls from numbers with 555-xxxx in them.  I believe they are generating from call sites in India and are scams.  One well known scam right now is for someone to claim they are from Windows technical support, claim you have a virus on your computer and they can help you if you pay them $299.  They will also ask for remote access to your computer--which gives them the ability to delete files!

As others have said, any number that is 555-0100 to 555-0199 is fictious in the USA.

These people pretend to be an insurance company and state they can lower your rate. If they are lucky... you fall for it and you share your personal information with them. They then use this data later to scam you in getting money.

These are the same folks who also run other scams such as PayDay Loans and pretending to be a computer technician. Do not fall for it.

We get a number of these calls that show up  as "Dir. Asst." on the caller I.D.  I answered one call once and it sounded like a call center in India and the caller claimed that my computer had a problem and they needed to fix it.  I told them that I had someone taking care of my computer and hung up.  Is there any way to stop these calls?  I am on a no call list, but it doesn't seem to help.  Since I am retired, I feel that this is some type of targeting of the elderly.  Does anyone know how to report these calls to someone who can do something about them?  Reporting them to the Federal no call list is a waste of time.

Received a call on my cell from 864-555-0169, it was an automated message stating that there was a warrant out for my arrest, I did not answer the call.  it was voicemail.  I get these stupid calls all of the time, I need to either change my number or figure out a way to block all unwanted calls.  It came from SC, USA.  I never answer numbers I do not know.  SCAMMERS

My wife answered to them saying we had an issue with our computer she informed them there wasn't an issue and the man on the other end of the line became a smart [***] and proceeded to tell her he wanted to sleep with her in an expletive fashion now I am patiently waiting for their call back!!!

If he DOES call back, tell him your wife would not care to sleep with him, as she prefers not to be infected with camel lice.

Some guy, obviously from India asked if he was speaking to the owner of this number.  I said "no, they are having his funeral tomorrow."
