Nelnet tech‑support scam calls – how to stop them
Summary — +14028759195
Expert Opinion
Late last night, dozens of users reported another round of calls from +1‑402‑875‑9195. The pattern matches a classic tech support scam: callers claim your computer is infected, speak with an Indian or foreign accent, and pressure you to install software or hand over credentials. They often spoof legitimate brands like Nelnet or Microsoft to appear trustworthy. The safest move is to let the call go to voicemail, block the number, and report it to your carrier or the FTC. Never grant remote access, share personal data, or download anything from an unsolicited source. Using call‑blocking apps and a Do‑Not‑Call registry can dramatically cut down these nuisance calls.

Obviously, the person on the other end was trying to scam me into instalation something crappy on my computor. This is completly unaccepatble, so I asked them to call back tomorrow and I will be filing a police report. Hopefully, if enough people report this, somthing will be done. Microsoft would never ask you to instal anything, as they have programs for that already, and they would not be calling from a noisy line with alot of static. Beware of these scammers!

Hallo, ich erhielt vorhin einen Anruf von dieser Nummer, aber ich habe nicht abgenommen.
Diese Nummer hat mich bereits dreimal in zwei Tagen angerufen. Beim ersten und zweiten Mal hat niemand gesprochen, beim dritten Mal habe ich schnell abgenommen und nichts gesagt, dann hat jemand auf Jugoslawisch gesprochen - offensichtlich eine Gaunerbande aus dem Kosovo oder Serbien.
