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.
The recipient received a call from individuals claiming to offer assistance, but this has been deemed a scam, as actual computer specialists would possess specific knowledge about the recipient's computer ID and operating system.
On 8/31, I received a call from this number at 6am while in Washington state, likely originating from outside the country, and upon answering, the caller hung up immediately.
These people are trying to get into your computor, they claim their is a problem, but its all a bunch of nonsens!
When unfamiliar numbers call, I immediately hang up. This one claimed to be NelNet on the caller ID.
