Got unwanted call from 888-342-1949?
User Comments
I just received the same e-mail. Called and realized it was a scam. Guy kept calling me asking why I called if I thought it was a scam. Blocked the number.
They emailed me. It said it was from 'Support Team' from my email provider. They claimed that my email had been compromised and someone from a foreign country was using my email to send out spam by the thousands. They were going to suspend my email causing me to loose my emails and contacts. This was to happen within 24 hours. In order for me to save my account, I could purchase from them a security code for either 5 years (around $50-$60) or a permanent one (around $110). Just changing my password would not do the trick they claimed. I suspected a scam and then hung up on them.
Woman at this number claimed to be Barbara De Costa with Bank of America, holding on deposit $2.3 million in sweepstakes winnings. Connected with John Gatsby, (918) 387-9317, who asked for bank info to wire money for a $350 fee.
Someone is emailing saying my account has been compromised
This number is connected with Edify Tech support. I used their services one time and paid $49.99 for something. They fixed it and said I had paid for a 1 day plan. Now this number calls occasionally and tells me there's something wrong with my computer even though there isn't anything wrong. I now don't answer when they call. I found this info online: "Scammers may call and pretend to be a computer technician from a well-known company. They say they’ve found a problem with your computer. They often ask you to give them remote access to your computer and then pretend to run a diagnostic test. Then they try to make you pay to fix a problem that doesn’t exist. If you get a phone call you didn’t expect from someone who says there’s a problem with your computer, hang up."
