I received a voice mail advising the licenses on all my microsoft software had expired and ...... Unfortunately, I deleted the voice mail before I listened to the rest of it. I presumed they were going to ask for money to keep the licenses active. There is no way Microsoft would have my home number and, since I'm not a business, I am not too sure my licenses have an expiration date.

I received a phone call from a local number 1-321-522-3966 from Cocoa, Florida according to the caller ID(could be a cloned cellphone). The Person announced himself as Pat from some National Medical place. He said it kind of fast and then asked if I could hear him, I said "Yes I can hear but...." and almost as soon as I said that the line cut off. Now when I call back it goes to an automated service giving 2 options of speaking to someone or being put on their internal do not call list. I chose the first option and of course, everyone is busy. It suggests calling back and suggests sending any questions to an email address, then gives out the email of [email protected] I am unsure what happened but am betting it is not good.

An automatized system asked a question to which I said "yes", the phone dropped. Then I called back and the system asked me to dial 1 to get me out of the phone lists and I did. After a quick online search, I realized that this is the method used by scam phone calls, and I may be at risk of being a victim.

Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

My 83 year old mother received a call from a person called Mr J saying that she had won a Walmart sweepstake for 1 million dollars and they he was coming over with a lawyer and TV crew. She told him she had to call her son (which is me). When she called me a went to her house. When she called the number back it went to voicemail. When I got to her house, I called the number and a man answered saying he was Mr. J. I told him why I was calling and he just stopped talk and saying I am Mr. J over and over. I think that when she told him that she had to talk to her son, he moved on for her and did not ask for any information.

I received a call around 4pm 7/3/2017 and a woman identified herself as a medic specialist and said, "Can you hear me?" The first time I could barely hear her. The second time I could hear her clearly but did not reply and just hung up the phone realizing I was a target of the YES Scam!

This is the "Can you hear me Scan" that when you say Yes the scammer records it to use purchases saying you authorized it.

This number, and others with 704-228-81xx or 704-228-82xx numbers, repeatedly call my phone but leave no message. I have not picked up these calls. A callback to these numbers give a recording with 2 options: Option 1 to speak to a representative (which then says all representatives are busy and to email to [email protected] ), or Option 2 to remove my number from their registry. I have never continued with Option 2. I have never emailed the gmail account.

An internet search on the [email protected] found that this is a scam. They are using this number.

Yesterday we received a pre-recorded phone call from a woman identified as " Mary Patterson in reference to a Tax Credit Incentive on your Duke Energy Bill". It also referenced a reference number, which was NOT our Duke Energy Account.

I contacted Duke Energy and they would not do any robocalls regarding this. Please DO NOT contact this company since they certainly sounds like scam.

Scammer called at 12:21 AM and asked if I could hear them. I was drousy and watching a late movie and an not sure if I answered yes or not( so they could record it to scam me later) I asked if they realized what time it was and the man asked if I thought he could fly. I am concerned that it was the scam to record me saying yes and use it to make unauthorized changes or purchases.

I keep getting phone calls from different numbers - only the beginning digits are always the same - *** and the last 4 digits are always different. Usually I just hang up and then block that number. But last time, I waited for the operator and when a live person came on the line I told him that I kept getting calls from his company and I wanted to be taken of the list. He said "Change your *** number. It's that simple". So rude.
