aaaaggggghhhhh. another phone call off this number. thats 2am, 9am, 11.30am. sounds like an indian call centre if the background noise is genuine,
so this time i answered the phone, the caller tells me i have a problem with my computer.
me......really, i dont own a computer....
.......silence......
so i ask..how can i have a problem with a computer i dont have?
he put the phone down.
i know some are already aware of this scam, but just a warning to those who have not heard of it, beware of this and similar numbers.

Best not pick up phone for these parasites to know someone is there

also well worth going ex directory

jhe

i am ex directory, have had these calls in the past and have googled the number before so knew what they were up to.
i phoned my phone provider and explained about the call, he suggested i register with TPS(i already am), but i explained TPS as i understand cannot prevent overseas calls.he agreed.
he also knew all about the scam calls but said there was nothing they can do apart from change my phone number. not a lot of help to unsuspecting innocent folk who might be taken in by the lowlifes that make these calls

savemoney

TPS wont stop them if they are India. Said before on here a device called truecall could block the call but it does cost money

Its a favourite place for scammers now and some of these call centre sell your details on to scammers which is probably why they got your number from a legit source

Why are so many people from India working for scammers? I know the country is a bit third world, but they aren't so far behind the times they don't know they're ripping people off.
