I just got a call from the us gov grant scam. I didn't think anything of it until he mentioned banking information such as direct deposit and such. I told him to mail the check to me and he said he was not authorized to do so and I hung up. Not even TEN minutes later I get a call from (I swear) the same guy but different scam.. Telling me my computer is sending signals and is malfunctioning. I told him immediately to stop calling me before I report him and he interrupted me with his raised voice and repeatedly asked if I had a facebook...what?? I told him he would be stupid to call again and if he does it won't end well.

Just received a call from Brian that my computer had a malfuntion from using it.  He had a nasalily voice and asked me to turn on the computer.  AS IF!!  My phone log said unknown caller but I hung up early in the call

Just got a call from this number, didn't identify who they were on the Caller ID, and didn't leave a message either.

My phone record was the following:
July 8 , 5:54PM
NOVA SCOTIA  P.E.I.
1-902-567-8434

The caller, Mexican accent, was hard to hear when he said who he was. I asked him to speak louder, which he did but did not repeat who he was. He then explained that my computer was leaving faulty data around. He then asked if I was at the computer, I replied no, then he said for me to go to the computer and turn it on and he would tell me what next to do. I thanked him for telling me about the computer and also his time, goodbye. He started talking fast to keep me on the line but whoosh I was gone.

I received a call from this # last evening...heavy accent...said that he was from Global Tech and that my PC and IP address were sending warning messages to their network and he would show me how to fix this.  And that I was to sit down and go to the start button. I said...What????   Where are you located?  He said the Virgin Islands.  I said...that is odd.  Caller ID comes up Nova Scotia!  No reply from man.  I asked to speak to his supervisor.  So then a heavily accented woman got on the phone and said the same thing...giving the phone back to the first man.  I decided to see what he was going to do so I ask him to continue while I wrote down the steps he gave.  After he took me to the Event View he said...now tell me what you see.  I replied that I wasn't simply writing down the steps and would verify the legitimacy of his phone call.  Tonight they called again...didn't answer and they didn't leave a message.  I did call the # that this guy gave me and they did answer....couldn't understand what the guy said.  Sounded Indian.  I asked him where he was located and he said just a moment...I said, you don't know where you are located? and after a moment he said London. Once again, I said...hmmmm, it looks like a California area code to me. He was stuttering at this point.   According to the reverse call lookup it is a a los angeles phone #.  So he asked me if I wanted his service and I told him I highly suspect this is a scam. He didn't reply and I hung up.  CREEPS!!!!!

I received the story.  They are very persistent.  They called back after I hung up.

As soon as I saw the # and heard the voice with the accent, I pushed 2 then 6 on the phone TO MAKE IT SOUND LIKE THE CALL WAS BEING TRANSFERRED, waited a couple of seconds and said "Hello, this is Special Agent Gibbs, NCIS, how may I help you?". He wanted to know what NCIS was and I told him "National Computer Investigative Section of the Federal Communication Commission". End of conversation and they have NEVER called back. What a batch of idiots. IROTFLMAO.

Hello Everyone,
These scammers are calling from a fake number.
Their direct numbers are 626-239-3135 and 646-915-0866.
* CALL  THEM , SPAM THEM , TELL THEM TO STOP CALLING *

Got the same call. They know you've got a computer because everyone has a computer. Total scam

I filled out a survey from Kroger the night before I got this call so wanted to know if any one else had and if this is where they get their list?

He called me in Alabama. Same story, same way to fix, and everything everyone else is saying. Not only does he call the house phones, he calls the cell phones also.

Got the same call in Alabama. The bad part is "he" not only has my home phone number but he has also called on my cell.

I'm on the DO NOT CALL LIST.  I did not recognize this number, therefore, did not answer.  They did not leave a voice mail message.  I see from the above reports that this is a scam.

Just got a phone call from this phone number claiming that I had viruses on my computers.  The woman said that her name is Annie and that she wanted to talk to my husband and she knew his name, how she knew that I'd like to know.  I told her that we tried to call them back and that the number was not in service.  She did the uh uh and then said that she was sorry. I told her that my computers are virus free and hung up on her. I am registered on the do not call list, how do we stop these people?

this company bugs and harrases u so dont try to call back because they are a really big fraud company lettin you know

called saying my computer was infected with a virus and only he could fix it.

I just got a missed call from this number and I live I Paisley, scotland. They must be branching out. Ive heard people at work talking about this tho. How do they get your number as they called my on my mobile and I dont give that out often.

I recevied a call from this number......instead of speaking whoever it was just stayed on the line for approximately 10 sec and then hung up.

Received a call at 9pm from 902-567-8434 SYDNEY NS. I don't answer the phone when I don't know whose calling. All the answering machine recorded was heavy breathing and hung up.

I got the same call from a man with a heavy accent. I knew it was obviously its a scam, so I threatened his life and he hung up on me. I haven't gotten a call back.

I GOT THIS CALL AS WELL, BUT WE DON'T ANSWER UNKNOWN NUMBERS LUCKILY! I GOOGLED # AND FOUND WHAT THE DEAL WAS! A SCAM. BUT I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD BE CAREFUL ANSWERING AND KEEPING THE LINE CONNECTED TOO LONG. WHAT IF U HAVE A MAGICJACK PHONE OR SOME SORT OF MODEM TELEPHONE, CAN'T THEY LINK UP TO UR PC THRU THE PHONE CONNECTION THRU UR PC. JUST A THOUGHT, NEVER STAY ON THE LINE MORE THAN 10 SECONDS THATS OUR RULE

I just received a call from this number---no one was on the line when I answered.

I advertised a truck on Craigslist in Oregon.  I received this email after I  responded "yes" to an email asking if the truck was still for sale.  The email and phone might belong to the same person.

The guys email address was:
rsnows70@gmail.com

Hi there, Thank you for getting back to me.Can you assure me that it
is in good state and that i will not be disappointed with it and I'm
ready to pay your asking price.To be honest,  the issue is I'm a
Contractor and I also work in a Construction site always at the remote
area. I do have a contract here in Norway. Therefore,this contract is
strictly no call due to the lack of reception on the sea area.But I'm
able to access email anytime as we will make use of laptop, Therefore
my only quickest payment option is PayPal as i can send money via
PayPal anytime.Therefore, I'm requesting this transaction to be done
via PayPal,and i will be responsible for all the pay pal fee/charges
on this transaction and if you don't have an account with paypal, its
pretty easy, safe and secured to open one.Just log on to
www.paypal.com. I hope we can make the purchase as fast as possible? I
have a mover that will come for it once payment clears and they will
be handling the title for me.So i look forward to hear from you
soon.write me back asap
Regards

Called today but no message left. Very annoying!

also got call from heavily accented male about my computer from sydney ns...hung up

These scum bags called our home three times. The first two calls no one answered when I said "Hello?" I googled their phone number and glad I did. When the phone rang again I answered and so did "Brian" who told me my Computers I.P. address had been reported to Home Land Security since I had browsed terrorist websites. I laughed and said, "Son! I'm 88 years old. I don't own a computer. Hell! I wouldn't know how to turn one on. You need to look someplace else for someone foolish enough to fall for your scam. Now you don't mind if I transfer your call to my Grandson in D.C. who works for Home Land Security do you?" Of course the jerk hung up. I then blocked their # from being able to call here and called my Grandson who works for the FTC. He asked me to call him tomorrow at his work number and said,If you should get another call from these creeps,I advise you to hit the "Talk" button on your phone then hit the "Off" button. Eventually they will move on to someone else until the FTC and Canadian authorities can shut them down.

Thank you for this site.  It gave me the insight I needed.  Have received two calls, one last week, one today on the 4th of July.  They don't know it's a US holiday.  "Sandy" with thick East Indian accent.
The second time he called, he asked for my husband since he didn't get anywhere with me the first time he called.  I lied and told him my husband was not available to take a call.  I asked him since he knew so much about my computer, why did he think it needed to be turned on, just to pull his chain a bit.  Told him if he was going to scam English speaking people, he needed to get rid of his accent.
Then, I hung up.  I wonder why it has taken so long to shut down this guy.  These posts start in April.

Must be same lady who just called me with same crap.  Hung up on her.

Trying to convince me I had an infection on my computer and that he would help me with it, I hung up and now I am going to report it.

Just received call from Nova Scotia PEI. Nobody on other end and hung up. Checked number on Internet and WOW what a surprise !!!! Thanks for this site. It sure gave me some important inside info. Will defenitily pass this info on to our friends

rec'd a call from tha aforemantioned lady w/ the "thick Asian Indian accent". Got the same B.S. message that others have reported and told her that under NO circumstances was I going to let her have access to my computer. To which she replied, "Oh, ok, (pause) thank you (something unintelligible)".
