My new cell phone (which nobody has been given the # for) seems to be attracting a lot of these type calls. Twice from this number today.

Total fraud attempt. Call is automated and comes from the Boston area. This is the second I've received. The auto call states that your credit card (the card name changes with the call) has been locked, intimating that there has been an unauthorized use on it, and instructing you press one to get the account unlocked. Do not ever press one as the system calling you may and/or will attempt to "grab" information from you. Also, report the call to your local police/sheriff's office so there's a record of what happened in case later down the road you find that there has been some sort of actual fraud/identity theft.

Very interesting!  I got a call from this number to see if it was a scam, and saw so many records here that I did not pick up the call.  Much to my surprise, they left a voice mail, and it turned out to be a recruiter I had contacted earlier in the day.  The scammers may very well be SPOOFING a legitimate phone number here.

Someone from this number - which is now unlisted (????) said they were FBI, "wanted to investigate fraudulent activity through a website", so we called them back today and the number obviously does not connect. I did call the local FBI to report it - she said it surely was a scam, and that I should report it to the FTC.

Said my husband had won $500,000 in a sweepstake 1st caller asked several questions then transferred called to the "tax collector" attorney who then started babbling about the amount of taxes the IRS would want to deduct from this large amount.  I interrupted him with this question "how much do you want us to send you?" - he immediately hung up on the call... BEWARE!!

Said it was IRS. Had a ticket number and badge of. Very convincing. Said they would close down all my accounts and put a lien on my house. I am reporting to a number of federal agencies. Out is a SCAM, be careful

Horrible connection. Foreign accent. Wanted Jane. Told him he had a wrong number. He started asking questions. I hung up and blocked the number.

Caller said was from Medical Alert System and started talking about medical bracelet...I cut her off and asked to remove my phone # and not to call again...she said nothing and hung up...if this was a logit customer service they shouldn't have hung up...FRAUD! I went to MedicalAlert.com and they do not show out of Cambridge, MA. The are out of PA and have an 800 #.

A man called saying do you know who this is, i said No then he said it's your oldest grandson, I replied wow really? he said yes,then i said nice but i don't have any grandsons nice try

there was a recording and the person (which was male) said that they were trying to collect a debt. Usually I will get something in the mail saying that if I don't pay they will send it to a collector. I didn't get nothing in the mail.

This scumbag called and said the he was from the government, he had a very heavy hispanic accent, that when i hung up.
It seem like this joker has been doing these bogus call since 2014 from the same number 617-714- 0977.Why he haven't  been caught yet?

Caller claimed to be Chris Jones (with an extremely heavy accent) from BCS (kept changing it but had him narrow it down to this one). asking for an employee indicating it was a "business call" and refused to divulge much else. Indicating "they are working together and she would know him".:So I checked with employee, who had me tell him she had no idea who he was and to stop calling her. He hung up after 'didn't know him.'

Sure it was a legitimate business call. NOT!!

Indian guy called me tonight from this number claiming to be an Engineer from Dell.  He began telling me that their server noticed that my Dell desktop had been corrupted with viruses.  I began asking him more detailed questions, because for one thing he called me on a work number that I don't give out, and two I am a software engineer and new that what he was telling me was a lie.  When I told him my profession he immediately hung up.  I gave him no additional information

This company called with address and car information for an extended warranty. They pressured me into purchasing an extended warranty, with a 30 day review. I called to cancel within 30 min., but the number put me on hold for 6 min and then dropped the call.

SMH.. should have just hung up the phone.  You need to contact your bank or CC and place a stop payment then. These extended warranty things are just a waste and rip off.

Consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 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. For tracfone & straight talk:

This call came in on my cell.  Did not pick up.

Receiving calls from this number for last few weeks.  Today received several calls; however, when I answer they never say anything but you can hear that someone is on the other end of line and then they hang up.

They keep calling and I've asked to be taken off of call list everytime..

Called me at 7:30 in the morning telling me I have been randomly selected to receive 100% free cash assistance, he also said his name was Jordan and it came up as a cell phone caller ID I know no one will be calling me for free cash assistance for the rest of my life as I'm only 17 with NO bank information. TOTAL scam. DO NOT fall for it.

Got a call from this number. Through her rough english she said my computer had downloaded malware and her company was the service provider for all windows computer s. Sounds like a scam
