Is 888-486-2849 a scam or spam call?
We were scammed out of 500.00 by caller from this number 8884862849. We thought we were getting help from Microsoft to fix a problem on our computer. They accessed our computer got bank info and other info. They were suppose to refund 200.00 but the deposited 9,000.00 in our account. They called and said they made a terrible mistake in the deposit and wanted my husband to send them 8,000 back. We did not. We went to the bank and they traced the deposit. This person, named Danny, who keep calling us to transfer the money back. We did not answer his calls he left messages saying he was going to take legal action if we didn't transfer the money. In the meantime, the bank found out they had taken the money from a women's account. The bank transferred the money back to the lady they had stolen the money from her account. Apparently this company is located in NJ. What a scam.

My father received a call from these people, who told him there was an issue with his email and then gained access to his computer via logmein. I don't know if they were in long enough to gain his info, and have him removing anything that was installed today, but I can only assume it was an attempt to steal any data of value.
