Type of a scam Tech Support

I had 4 calls today from a person stating that they were calling from Microsoft saying I had multiple viruses on my computer and trying to access my information. I told them I have received calls from other companies trying to get my information and that if they call again I'd report them to the BBB. They yelled at me and hung up and called 3 other times. I called the number back and it stated the number was not a working number.

Type of a scam Phishing

On Monday, April 17th, 2017, at 1529 hours PST, I received a telephone call from (916) 209-4388; the number came up as "Unknown Name" out of Lincoln, California.

When I answer the phone, I could tell I was being transferred to a call center and the representative answered the phone had a British or Indian accent. The representative said "Mr. ***" (my last name is actually ***); I responded "Yes" and the phone line immediately disconnected.

I attempted to call the telephone number back and an automated message said the phone number was not in service.

I believe this was a con or scam designed to record my voice and me saying "yes" for the purpose of fraudulent activity or identity theft.

I've received multiple calls since April 13, 2017, from the 800 DirectTV number. When I finally was able to answer, the person asked me if my name was John. Instead of saying "yes," I asked him (because the number was DirectTV's) if he needed some survey info from a recent installation we had had done. He said he was LexMark (or something like that) and was calling from the hospital. I repeated his info back to him because it was so confusing. Then he hung up. That's when I realized it was probably a scam. I hope my family's accounts are okay.

Reminded me of the "yes" scam going on but they spoke in French. The only word I understood was "oui" Thought it could have been my son calling as he is stationed overseas. At this time, haven't noticed any changes in credit cards or bills. I'm not sure if they were out for money or what but just seemed fishy.

Caller tried to say my name to which I responded, "Yes?", but he immediately hung up. I called the number back several times but it went straight to a recording saying the mailbox is full. I'm concerned that this could very well be the scam that's going around, where the caller makes you say the word "Yes" to record it, then use it as proof of your consent for charges you didn't purchase. The call just happened so I wouldn't know if I were a victim of this scam so for now I'm only able to report the phone number of the caller.

I have received calls 2 days in a row from a "Joe" using two different agencies he was representing. He stated he was on a recorded line and asked if I could hear him. I have heard of the potential scam where they are trying to record you saying yes. I did not says yes but asked a question who was he with again. Both time I was hung up immediately. I called both numbers back and it gets an auto recording. One option is to have name removed from do not call list and the other option is to speak with a customer representative. I tried the customer rep option and it said all reps were busy and to email [email protected]

This woman has called me for the past four years right around tax time. She claims to be a person who has been givien my personal business matter for handling and states that I need her to call me right away. She never describes who she works for or what it's regarding she gives the phone number listed above and gives this extension to dial 1246366. I have called back years past and she told me I had a warrant for my arrest. Feeling panicked I went to my local sheriffs office and they confirmed I have no such warrant. This is very frustrating and embarrassing as she calls people I haven't talked to in years.

Called and asked if I was the homeowner and I said "yes" (I was expecting a home improvement call) and now I'm worrying that they recorded the "yes" and will try to scam me in some way.

Note that all calls were made from the 734 area code but that they looked like a local call because no area code showed up in the caller ID. Also note that my phone number is registered on the “Do not call list.” I did report this to TXXXX ZXX of the xxxxx Sheriff’s Office.

The first call was when I was expecting a call from the hospital and fell for the “can you hear me” to which I replied “Yes”. That call was at 12:39pm on 4/3/2017, caller ID 648-6062, from a person who called himself ‘Joe’ and asked “can you hear me”, when it dawned on me that I had fell for the “can you hear me” scam I had read about I hung up. I was upset with myself for falling for something I was warned against and tried calling the number back and could not believe it when Joe answered. I explained why I called him back and told him about the scam. He said no he was reading from a script and was calling because my number had been given to find more information and did anyone in the house have mobility issues. I replied no and hung up.

Second call 7:21pm 4/3/2017 caller ID 245-9531 from the same person. I asked if this was Joe, he finally said yes and he was pitching something else. I hung up.

Third call 9:21am 4/5/2017 caller ID 245-9579 “Hi this is Brook I’m calling on a recorded line can you hear me OK?” I responded “no” “hello” and they hung up. I called Txxx of the xxxx Sheriff’s office and let her know about the call.

4th call 3:54pm 4/5/2017 caller ID 245-9583 “Hi, this is Joe and this line is being recorded how are you today”? me “this call has been reported to the Washtenaw County Sheriff” they hung up - I called the number back - music played then Joe came on saying the call was being recorded and ask how I was doing? I replied that this was the FBI calling and asked for their real name, no answer, I than said this is the FBI calling from the residents and what is your real name and what company are you representing – they hung up!

This was a robocall that sounded like a real person. It went through the "can you hear me now?" type thing and mentioned having trouble with their headset. I didn't realize what it was until I'd unfortunately already said yes to one of the questions. Once I realized it was automated I hung up and looked up the number to find others had reported a similar issue with the number and read multiple articles about the scam.
