Got a call from 888 929 5203 and it was a recording saying to call the number back for "computer service provider."
Have received 3 calls from this number this morning - all with same message that $399. is to be deducted from my credit card tomorrow for computer services. Called agency that does have my computer service to verify scam.
Automated message that they would debit my account $399.99 for my computer service. I hung up. They gave no proof of authenticity. They wanted me to press 1 to confirm.
I've gotten 3 calls (so far), threatening to debit my account $399 for my computer. I told them I don't have a computer, and to stop calling me.
recording about computer service charge for $399.99.
I don't answer #s I dont recogni,e especially any 800, 888, 866 etc. They did have the audacity to leave a message which will be deleted immediately.! I am grateful to everyone that reported their experiences. Very helpful!
