Watch out for callers claiming to be Microsoft Windows tech support. They usually play loud background noise, speak with a heavy accent, and pressure you to log in or grant remote access. Never share personal data or passwords, and hang up immediately if the request feels off. Use your phone’s built‑in call blocking or a third‑party app to stop the number. Report the incident to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and to your carrier’s spam‑call service. Keep a log of dates, times, and any recorded details; this helps authorities track patterns and may speed up enforcement.
Retaliating with a blast of screeching feedback might be a suitable response.
Recently, there have been numerous calls from unknown numbers, including 929-279-5985, which were not answered due to suspicions of potential scams
A person named Jacob, with a strong accent, called our business posing as a Microsoft technician, warning of a computer issue; this is a known scam that has been reported on local news stations, so it's best to be cautious and not trust such claims.
It appears to be an automated call, with a 15-second blank message left behind
The caller, supposedly from "Nextel Credit Services", violated the DNC Registry and only showed "New York NY" on caller ID.
My caller id showed unknown and they didnt even leave a message
