888-236-6894

got recorded call from this number about security breach w installed software and to call number back

Same here. Just got a rude call from this number about security breach. An obvious scam.

Received a robo call with an electronic woman's voice saying to call 1(888)236-6894. Due to a "security breach of software they installed on [my] computer.

What's puzzling is, I only got
a notification I had a voicemail on my phone around 10:30 pm. There was no record of any incoming call on my incoming call log. When I retrieved the message, the time stamp said 9:13am and voicemail said the call was from just 236-6894, and did not include the 888 toll free area code.

This is a scam for people to call back, and get tricked into disabling security features on your computer, and/or giving them remote access to take control. Either to steal identities, personal documents or files, or to trick people into giving out their credit card number. Criminals..

Same thing. A security breach of software they installed on my computer. Yeah, yeah, yeah....

Software they installed on my computer last year... suuure.
Scammer big time!!

SCAMMERS FROM INDIA AGAIN !!

Same here to call back about software the install last year

I just got the same recorded message.  Looks like they are busy today.

Robo call, apparently the “security software” “installed on my computer” “last year” had a “red flag.”  So, whoever this is, admits to illegally hacking into my computer and installing malware. Cause I didn’t authorize diddly squat. I call shenanigans.

Yeah, I just got this call too. When I actually have someone on the line I ask them "Which computer?" This one is a robo call with the computer generated voice - and annoyance in and of itself! - with the vague security breach of "software" they installed on my "computer". yada, yada, yada.
We're an office with at least 6 computers and a tech company that takes care of our computers too.
The only part I'm sad about is not having anyone's chain to yank as I ask them "Which computer?"

I have received this call three times on my home number. It has come at 5:14am and at 3:49pm. An obvious scam. Did not press 1. Might be charged a long distance fee.

Might be charged a long distance fee.

They called you, so they are the party charged any long-distance charges associated to the call, unless an operator preceded the call asking if you would accept a collect call (and I doubt that happened).  Pressing "1" or any other key on your phone will not create a new call that you would have to pay for, it would only cause the call on their end to transfer from one terminal (the robo-dialer) to another terminal (an operator on their end).  Even if, in some fantastically bizarre situation, that somehow involved some sort of toll or long-distance fee, it would be theirs to pay for.  All your phone service provider would ever see is an incoming call, and that is what you will be charged for; which is usually nothing (unless you are on a cell phone plan that charges for connection minutes (incoming and outgoing) then you will pay for the minutes used, but not a long-distance charge).

You are probably thinking of scams where the callers try to get you to call back to a number in a Caribbean country where your outgoing call would be considered a long-distance call and you would be hit with a hefty per-minute fee.

Same thing as all the above comments. I call all these unknown numbers the "crazy" people and never answer them. If ALL of us refused to answer, they would give up.!!!!!

Received Robocall message about a security breach related to software that they installed on my computer last year and to call back at this number right away.  Total scam!

They installed a software on my computer last year?  Quite an accomplishment since I didn't have this computer last year!

They left message re security software installed on my account. I called back, it's a scam. If you have time, call him back and ask what is the IP number of your computer. They are charged for your calls.

Same computer scammers that call 3 times a day, for the last 2 years.

got the same call--I just hung up

A scam never answer any # u don't know for sure

Another call from the smartest idiot in their family regarding security software installed on my computer.
