Ever wonder why this number keeps popping up? It’s a classic example of tech‑support scams that spoof legitimate brand names to scare victims. Callers usually claim they’ve detected malware or unauthorized users on your PC, often listing bogus names to add credibility. The best defense is to never grant remote access or share personal info, and to let the call go to voicemail. Use carrier‑level blocking, report the number to the FTC, and consider a third‑party spam filter. If you’re ever unsure, hang up and verify any alerts directly with the official company’s support channels.
I often receive calls from this number, which I mostly ignore, and occasionally, I respond by posing as a federal agent, requesting their name and address, or by creating a diversion, which promptly leads to them hanging up.
This is an automated call.
A call was received from a man with an Indian accent, claiming to be Mark Wilson, but his responses raised suspicions, particularly when he claimed to be calling from Washington DC despite the caller ID showing Washington State.
With Mr. Number installed, spam and spoof calls are blocked, including those from this number, which claims to be related to computer issues.
My approach is to play along with their tactics.
It appears that individuals from India are behind the scam claiming that my PC is downloading harmful files, which is a pathetic attempt to deceive people
