Caller left message with callback number and said I would  be arrested if I did not call back.

The call was picked up by the robocall blocking service.  Their site has the recording of a social security number fraud.  This is fraud on a federal  level and these people should be arrested and imprisoned.  Do not answer, do not call back, block the number.

Called and said that I would be arrested ..if I do not call back..I did but kept holding on line saying an agent will be back with you shortly ..waited 6 mins ..but kept repeating message..
These people associated with this number should be arrested for such scare tactics and time wasted .

SSN suspended due to suspicious activity, call back this number immediately!!  What a joke, hard to believe than anyone falls for this but they wouldn't do it if no one called back.  Nice to have a block button on my phone, hope I don't wear it out.

Called me moments ago, didn't recognize, didn't answer.  Researched number and therefore   blocked it.  Jeepers creepers I missed getting threatened with arrest.  Dang I feel left out.

Scam call that keeps calling numerous times a day. Why can't they arrest these scammers?

Listen to message

Never allow anyone  Remote Access unless you know them to be reputable and you contacted them first! Scammers can lock you out and hold your computer ransom with Syskey (Microsoft SAM Lock Tool).

Help spread the word and prevent someone from becoming a victim.

Fact:

• ANYONE who calls or emails you and says your computer called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
• ANYONE who calls or emails you and says your online server called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
• Windows Operating System licenses do not expire.
• ANYONE who calls or emails you with a message about your computer having illegal activity, is a SCAMMER.
• Apple will never, ever call you about alleged suspicious iCloud activity.
• ANY Tech Support Warning pop-ups you get while accessing the internet asking you to call a number or visit a website, is from a SCAMMER.
• Web Browsers DO NOT have the ability to determine and warn you your computer has an error. They can only warn you about a potential malicious website. A Browser is software that allows you to surf the Internet, not diagnose a computer or phone.
• ANY Tech Support company that insists you need their services because of some error, outdated software or tries to convince you that you need to allow them remote access is a SCAMMER.
• Nobody could possibly know if your computer or devices have an issue unless you tell them or gave them access.
• Tech Support companies DO NOT call or email to give out refunds because they are "going out of business", or to "cancel a subscription".  Companies DO NOT give refunds unless they have to.
• Companies DO NOT call to inform you that your subscription will be charged if you don't call back, only SCAMMERS do that. If you have a subscription with someone, they automatically charge you until you cancel it and they don't give a refund.
• Only a Scammer would want Remote Access to give a Refund.
• 3rd party Tech services DO NOT include Email account repairing or password resetting, since they can not access the email server unless it belongs to them.

Please read about how Tech Support Scammers operate the scams and warn everyone possible about them.

Never trust a caller who wants to "help your computer" for any reason (unless you contacted them first), as they are only going to scam you. If you need Tech Support, you should contact a reputable local service.

Elderly targeted SSAN scam

Since lots and lots of people who are not elderly receive these calls, can you prove that these are "elderly targeted"?  I have to wonder since there were studies done and in reality younger people, due to their lack of education, due to the fact that their parents do not tell them what they need to know to get through life, and the fact that they have their brains embedded into their "smart phones" and think that those devices can do all their thinking for them, are way more susceptible to be being scammed.

Take a downer!  It has been proven that these idiots target seniors & newcomers.  Just ask me.  I swear that I turned 65 & these calls started.

It has been proven

OK, then show me the proof.  You should be able to provide it right away since you seem to have looked it up to make that statement.

In actuality, its the millennial generation who are the main victims who fall for these type scams, since they don't know how businesses actually work, they just depend on an app to figure it out for them. Its the millennial generation that cries the most about "why don't our Gov. do something..." and remain clueless, hoping whatever issues it was will be solved by someone else.
Many older people do fall prey, but many more are intelligent enough to know this is not how a business operates.

Have called 9 times in 3 days (so far)... have been blocked since after their 3rd call.  To anybody else reading this: if someone doesn't pick up, LEAVE A VOICEMAIL!

I've gotten 9 calls from this number in the past 24 hours :(

5 to 20 calls. No messages. I sure wish someone could stop this!

They have called me 31 times in two days.  They are going to charge my card 399.19 for computer software.  Blocked the number but they just keep leaving meassages.

This number called me ten times one day a week ago. I didn't answer it once, and they left no messages.
