Type of a scam Debt Collections

This number keeps calling when I answer they mumble who they are and if I inquire on who they are they get angry and have an attitude. The most recent call the caller Isabella asked if I was who I am I said yes. She then mumbled who she was and then said she was a debt collector and then she asked for my social and where I live. I said I am sorry who is this? And she started getting angry stated that I was beating around the bush and hung up the phone. I called back to speak with a manager and I was hung up on again and then again. Then I called from another number and the caller stated they would transfer me and then played a voicemail recording for quality control and while I was listening to the recording I could hear the bussle of people in the background as if it was not a voicemail at all but a recording.

Type of a scam Tech Support

I have constantly repeatedly received calls from people claiming to be working for Microsoft. They claim to have detected error on my computer. They get annoyed when I asked them pointed questions. I ask them which one of my computers is giving them the error message but they have no idea that I have about 15 computers at home. A lot of people I know have been scammed by the same group.

Type of a scam Identity Theft

An internet page pops up and a very loud message repeats " your computer is infected". It provides a phone number to call "Microsoft support" A hard shut down is the only way to get rid of it. They want to do a online fix. There is a lot of talk on facebook about this making the rounds to many of my friends.

Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

I phoned the number on the card. 1-844-251-2965 and ;made contact. The code number on my card was ***. I was offered magazines by the answering agent, but I refused.

Then I was transferred to another agent. (It took some time to make that arrangement).

There I was asked to confirm the name and address on the card. The card said there was a reward waiting for me for $100.00 free gas at a fuel pump provider. I questioned as to how I was to get this reward and was advised that upon their receiving $3.90 they would immediately send it to me. (No means of sending was offered) The I asked from where was he calling....From Maine, he said. Then asked me to give him my credit card to cover the $3.90. I replied "No way" and then he disconnected the call. Clever try huh?

A recording or an Investigator Fisher calls from Internal Affairs. Stating that "My name and SSN have been indicated in a fraud proceeding" he never identifies me by name, asks that I call back. Seems like a Fishing attempt.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

WINDOWS 7 INSTALL ON MULTIPLE LAPTOPS SCAM.

Two different company claiming to help small and new business to grow. contacted me with a service repair order at my store/office to do a fresh install of windows 7 professional on 14 HP laptops. I got two checks to be deposited in my business account same day which was strange to me. Part of the check was to be for my service and the balance was for the shippers who were suppose to bring me the laptops for repair. They instructed me to deposit the checks the same day I received it. They said I have to wire the part of the fund that was for shipping to some named person in Atlanta,Georgia. Even when the checks have not posted they still wanted me to wire the money but I said I can't because the check has not posted. The next day I contacted my bank why the check would post. But they confirmed the check was fraudulent and that my account is was closed without further review. to the bank they thought I was part of the scam, I tried to explain but they were not even going to consider my dispute about the transaction.

If I had wired money in my account without waiting for the checks to post then I will be owing the banks the refunds for bad checks.

So If any one ever get work orders claiming "Windows 7 install", on multiple PC please do not accept it is a scam.

They called and left a message on my landline saying the IRS was going to sue me. I called the number they left, it went straight to a person. They did not state their company name and they could not provide me with any information other than my name, which took awhile so I think they were looking up my number. The number was a Washington DC area number (202-407-9850).

I have received several phone calls on my home phone from someone claiming to be with Microsoft. The man speaks with an accent and say, "my computer has a virus". I have told him on several different occasions, I do not have a computer or I am not interesting in his services so can he remove my phone number from his database. The last draw came when he called twice at 5:30 am and 5:35 am this morning, November 21, 2015. The name on the caller id says unknown. What can I do to stop these phone calls?
