Man with India accent claims to be Microsoft support. Addressed me by name. . .scary! The connection was so bad, I could barely understand him. I just lied and said that there were no computers in this house. Sounded identical to caller from 646 588 1663, with the same scam pitch. Geez, these guys never give up!

Same guy called me last night while i was driving home and said he was a technician from HP and would not believe me that I was not at my "compu" (that's what he kept calling it). I told him i was driving and hung up. Then this afternoon he called again and said "This is Tom from last night. I believe you are on the compu now?" and I told him he had the wrong number and hung up.

I got a visa and mastercard interest rate lowering scam on this line. Automated caller that wants to skim your credit card with an automated system using a lure of lowered interest rates. Fraud. They bill you hundreds of dollars after the skim is finished. You should be careful with this line.

A guy with Indian accent said he was calling me to let me know "somebody" had hacked into my gmail account. I told him I was in the DO NOT CALL registry, why was he calling me. I kept hearing sounds of people in a house doing dishes, etc. I asked him his name and he said "John Smith " - told him, I was queen Elizabeth a hole. I ended hanging up cause he wanted to transfer me to "Technical support "

Told him I was hacked a few months back and he said he could tell me how to fix the problem and lock the emails from getting my stuff.... I told him to just tell me now (as I didn't have a computer with me) how to do it and he said it would be a long 30-45 minute process and that he could call me back at a later time... I told him okay call back in 3 hours... This time he called from this number.. I told him I was not going to give him any info as I did not believe he was from yahoo and he wanted to give me an 800 number to call.... I didn't take the number and he got pissy! I hung up!

So I tired calling the number back twice both times I got a recording saying that number was disconnected. I will be more cautious the next time that number calls me and I will probably cuss him out.

This number calls often. Each time I answer, it's someone claiming to be from tech support with EZ Tech 365. Usually I just tell them I know they're a scam and hang up, but today I asked the caller's name (with obvious Indian-type accented voice) - he said Eric Ericson lol. Asked the name of the company and phone number to reach a supervisor (phone # is non-working of course) - he wouldn't give me a name for that supervisor. Then I asked what city and state and he said an unintelligible named city in NY. The caller ID said Newark NJ. I then ended the call with a thank you for all the information for my police report.

These people called me twice. Once from a SC area code and twice from this number. Claimed to be with/for the IRS. Claimed my "2010-2014" taxes were audited--you know, because audits happen only for four year periods? Claimed an officer was coming to arrest me in 45 minutes. Wanted me to withdraw cash from the bank, and go to the nearest store and buy "Apple bond cards"... Because apparently the IRS only accepts payments in iTunes gift cards. Laughably bad scam. Claimed if I didn't wanna pay I'd have to go to Washington DC and hire a criminal defense attorney because somehow my supposed $5000 deficit would net me 20-30k fine and 5 years in prison. I hope nobody is dumb enough to fall for this.

Calls repeatedly to say that they are from BGE and claims will turn off your electric. Even if you look up your account and see it is paid in full they will say that the last payment was applied to a different account erroneously and if you don't make another payment it will turn off and can't be reversed for 24 hours or more. Report this number to your local police everytime there is a call asking for any payment for anything.

I male with an East Indian accent says that his name is "Scott Williams ", when I told him I didn't know who he was he started chewing on something into the receiver and I hung up. He called back several times after that and I answered the phone with, " Thank you for calling, this phone call was being recorded, how may I help you " they hung up immediately.

I knew it was a scam, as my grandkids don't call me that, and I played along for awhile, saying how sorry I was, but then I really had to leave for an appointment, so I hung up. I'm sorry I didn't have more time to play along to see where this was going.
